Trump, the serial criminal, posted that The Pope is "weak on crime." Yes, I said The Pope. I think it's important for us to remember that besides being a narcissist, sociopath, grifter, rapist, traitor, and serial criminal, he's also an out-of-control idiot.

Also, interesting that Hungarians went overwhelmingly for the candidate whose name (Magyar) in Hungarian means, "Hungarian." Maybe for 2028 we should find Joe American and get him to run against whoever the Greedy Oligarchs and Pedophiles run.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."
V. CONCLUSION
An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A
masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to
challenge his conduct.
A regime of secret policing has no place in our society. Here, the Government’s power is
derived by the People, and the People must be able to identify the Government when it acts to
infringe on their liberty. Masks obscure government action and deprive the public of its Fourth
Amendment protections.
Therefore, the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, [ECF No. 26], is GRANTED. Petitioner
is ORDERED released immediately from civil immigration custody. Respondents are
PROHIBITED from re-arresting and detaining Petitioner absent significant change in
circumstances to justify detention or subject to the determination of a neutral and detached
decisionmaker.

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

My ancestors from the Ukrainian shtetl, and from Venezuela, definitely did NOT come here for the "English-Scots" (that's with one 'T,' there, Mr. Pedophile) "origin" of the US. They came here to join the multicultural nation that we already were. Dumbass.

Screenshot of an X.com post by “evan loves worf” (@esjesjesj) with the caption, “You called the police over internet death threats.” It shows embedded posts from Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog): one says police have been notified and threats are taken seriously; another downplays an incident, saying someone was sprayed with apple cider vinegar and calls the person a “drama queen.”
