If what ICE is doing has anything to do with the law, why are they routinely breaking laws, violating the Constitution, violating civil rights, and hurting and killing innocent people?

While Trump is threatening a war against Europe - WHAT THE FUCK IS THE US MILITARY SAYING!!! Why not? Trump is insanely dragging the world into military disorder. They and the people in their command will get caught up in all manner of hell. And yet, THEY SAY NOTHING! No one wants to die here.

One year into Trump’s second term, working people are paying more and getting less. Costs are up. Wages are down. Jobs are disappearing. Meanwhile, billionaires and Big Tech are cashing in. This is the real Trump economy. Read the full report:

In sub zero weather, Cleveland students made an adult choice. They left class to stand against ICE terror and terror and defend human dignity. This isn't symbolic. It's principled. When power harms, conscience shows up. Watch who leads.

Screenshot of an X post by Turnbull (@cturnbull1968) that reads, “I’m tired of my taxes paying for this puffed up, swollen faced ghoul to run around in costumes and lie to me on a daily basis.” Below is an embedded TV news clip still labeled “LIVE WHITE HOUSE,” showing a woman with long dark hair speaking outdoors, with two suited men and security visible behind her. A red “BREAKING NEWS” banner at the bottom includes the headline “NOEM: CAN’T SPEAK TO OIL TANKER TRACKING,” along with a timer/progress bar indicating a short video.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Honestly, if it came down to this, we would join Canada to fight Trump and whatever Army he has. Many good Americans would join Canada. 🇨🇦 No way in hell we would go to war with our Canadian neighbors over the lunacy of this madman. If Trump is aiming to destroy our country, we draw the line here!

Unfit. Unhinged. Unchecked.
Trump just handed the country a written case for invoking the Twenty-Fifth Amendment—and if we ignore it, the danger is on us.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working. And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place. You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.
