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...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Using your platform to debate people who don’t believe in climate change, or feeding kids, or funding schools, or bodily autonomy, or voting rights, or civil rights isn’t helping anyone change the political climate.

It’s just giving a bigot your platform.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

This is absolutely true. Thank you!

“When our heroic law enforcement officers conduct operations, they clearly identify themselves as law enforcement,” DHS’ Tricia McLaughlin asserted, “while wearing masks to protect themselves from being targeted by highly sophisticated gangs.”

Mike Johnson warned us about "Antifa's Hate America Rally." We sent Sarah Matthews to the #NoKings protest in Washington, D.C. to investigate. Check it out:

Republicans are trafficking the lie that this shutdown is because Democrats want to give undocumented immigrants free health care.

That's not true, and it's not the law.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

Benjamin the beagle.

I haven't posted in a long time because I am speechless. I'll keep voting, protesting, and supporting those fighting to restore democracy and decency in the the United States but it is a very dark time. Walks with Ben bring some peace, however fleeting.

Does anyone in the state ever push back - forcefully - against this insanity? I grew up there. I will never ever understand what has happened.

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Michael Fanone: " ICE appears to have become a national police force for the Trump administration. This is an agency which is unaccountable to the American people. In a democracy, law enforcement agencies must be accountable to the American people."

Inside the hidden conservative network bankrolling an "ecosystem" of right-wing news John Solomon's Informing America set out to create an echo chamber to shape public opinion. It's working.

Here’s the real “fake news,” paid for by creepy billionaires.
