dt has frozen ALL TRAINING at federal law enforcement academies for all agencies except ICE, to onboard 10,000 ICE officers & 1,000 HSI agents. He is turning ICE into his private force, sacrificing public safety, oversight, & the rule of law. WE are the target.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I've seen this phrase a couple of times on the interwebs, not sure who originated it, but it is very appropriate!!

“These are un-Presidented times!”

(2 of 2)...this is money coming from importers, which is passed on to CONSUMERS (us!!). Also a reminder, it is only t 2-4% of Federal revenue, and if the point was for the govt. to have more money, then dt should rescind the $400 Billion annual tax cut that was just given to the wealthy folks!

(1 of 2) dt's tariffs, aka custom duties and import taxes, have brought in a total of $165.2 Billion for the year up until August. Some estimates say this is "double" the revenue for this period as compared to last year. Sounds like a lot, but it isn't. And remember,...

READ: Trump wants to label Dems as “terrorists.” Here’s what happens next. After helping lead DHS under Trump, I know how dark this can get.

"Then they’ll start abusing federal powers to go after those organizations, and it will morph into campaign against Democrats and their political networks. " -- Miles Taylor

It can happen in the US. He tells us how: www.treason.io/p/read-trump...

NEWS: Trump “third term” chatter grows. Take it seriously. The president’s allies continue to tease that he’ll be on the ballot in 2028.

CHATTER: Last night on Fox, Sen. Lindsey Graham teased the idea (again) of Trump running for a third term.

You’re a fool if you believe “It’s just a joke!”

Trump wants to remain in power. And he will try. Time to start talking about that.

READ: Why are you staring at the table? A dead Russian dissident has words for all of us, on the eve of Trump charging his critics with crimes.

“The only moments in our lives that count for anything are those when we do the right thing — when we don’t have to look down at the table but can raise our heads and look each other in the eye. Nothing else matters.” —Russian dissident Alexei Navalny

Part of our constitutional crisis is that Republicans are stopping Congress from playing its fundamental oversight role.

Couldn't find a shorter clip, but if you don't want to watch it all, start at 9:53. Hearing Jon Stewart is even more powerful than reading his words. Hard to believe this was only 3 years ago. Democracy is devolving faster than I would have believed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QzU...

Sometimes, you just have to repost yourself! Seriously, this is something I have to keep reading to remind myself.

"Shouldn’t Americans know, and just as soon as possible, if their president raped children? And if he did, shouldn’t THAT finally end the long, national nightmare we have endured for 10 years, while this dirty, old man breaks everything in his blurry sight?" --D. Earl Stephens

When a criminal is in charge of a business (or government), you should not be surprised at the crimes committed by the business (or government).

Texas or Trump? Pick a side.

I want ICE gone. But at the very least, they need better training—they clearly don’t know what the F they’re doing.

🚨 A man was killed on the 210 Freeway after running into traffic while fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot. This is the second known death in Southern California tied to these raids.
