i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Republicans are going to cheat & gerrymander with the rubber stamp of the Supreme Court. It will be very hard for Democrats to take back the House and Senate. Meanwhile, Trump will send the military to crush protests, and when he gets desperate, he'll implement martial law. Eyes wide open, folks.

Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

Remember, we *had* a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This is just disgraceful. These Afghans should be treated like heroes for helping our armed forces. ice does not love the US, it’s simply a cosplay for racist cowards.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

This is what your enemies do. Just like Israel destroying Palestinian universities as their first order of business, lowering an entire nation’s education levels is a very deliberate act long-term act of war.

I haven’t lost job yet but I will before too long. We help thousands of new Americans, all here legally, become productive members of society, teaching them English, helping them find jobs. Nobody is better off for these folks being cut adrift. It’s just mindless violence that we’re in this position
