The American Police State Is Here ICE is about to eclipse the FBI as America's most important law enforcement agency. That's bad. Super-duper bad.

Within months, ICE will have twice as many agents as the FBI and will have its own huge and growing prison system (which it operates independently) as its masked and un-uniformed officers continue to snatch people off of the streets and mete out violence.

U.S. citizen child recovering from brain cancer deported to Mexico with undocumented parents The Texas family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup, they said, when they were detained at an immigration checkpoint.

The Trump administration has deported a 10-year-old girl to Mexico who is a US citizen and is recovering from brain cancer.

Her family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup when they were detained.

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security.

More of this please.

What mandate?

What a goddamn farce. Border crossings are currently at a 50-year low.

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy.

“It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

Wow. 😳

UK strengthens national security and bolsters Ukraine’s war chest with £2.26 billion military loan Ukraine will receive further funding to purchase essential military equipment to defend itself against Russia’s illegal invasion, as the Chancellor today announces that the Government will loan a furt...

UK putting extraordinary profits on immobilised Russian sovereign assets to good use ! This is the kind of welcome president Zelenskyy deserves.

Opinion | This Never Happened With an American President Before Trump’s behavior in the Oval Office with Zelensky was an unparalleled break with American foreign policy.

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​"

The Great Resegregation The Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are aimed at reversing the civil-rights movement.

By the way: “America first” is a klan slogan.

They should take it up with their member of Congress.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

I’ll be honest, this week there was more to destroy the rule of law than in trumps first term,

And i have no idea what the Democrats are doing to fight back. Or even saying. Crickets

Here is my response to Donald Trump’s latest malicious lies:

The great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This alignment destroys the commonwealth - that is, the natural wealth of...household, neighborhood and community - and so destroys democracy, of which the commonwealth is the foundation and practical means.

-Wendell Berry

Friends, let us remember that families fleeing tyranny and violence for a safe place, are not only in our Nativity scenes --- they are also in our communities and all across the world. We are all God's children and one human family. Peace.

Thank you. I agree. I am appalled by the responses. We seem to have lost our moral compass.

This is an oligarchy.

The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER

Stop the oligarchy

The Honeymoon Won't Last Why Trump's honeymoon is likely to be much shorter than most

“Trump appears determined to test if he can squander the goodwill he has, and when he does, it will only serve to reinforce what many already know: his leadership is a clear and present danger to the principles that hold this nation together.” My latest:
