If it's now legal to racially profile Hispanics, what about African Americans, LGBTQ, etc. for other crimes?

First they came for Hispanics...

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said β€œWe are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military:

β€œWe don't take an oath to a King.

We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator”

β€œWe take an oath to the Constitution."

Facts:
- Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both publicly stated they did not request National Guard assistance.
- Under normal circumstances, National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done.

The judge said the government failed to prove Khalil’s actions affected foreign policy, and called his potential deportation under this law β€œunprecedented.” This is a major win for due process and a reminder that not all government actions hold up in court.

Musk Goons Purged Living U.S. Citizens from Social Security Elon Musk and his DOGE foot soldiers effectively killed the financial lives of β€œcountless” citizens through their database meddling.

DOGE staffers allegedly marked 4 million people as dead in the Social Security database, without being sure if these people have died.

This is what the world's richest man taking a chainsaw to our government looks like.

Bad faith claim too many uncritically repeat: Trump's crackdowns on higher ed is aimed at stopping antisemitism.
The crowd that's doing Hitler salutes, distinguishing "Good Jews" from "Bad Jews," pushing conspiracy theories about "(((globalists)))" and "Soros" are not fighting antisemitism. Come on.

I think we need to take it back another step: why are we sending anyone at all to a notorious prison in El Salvador? None of it should be happening. We can’t get lost in the weeds of whether or not one guy is an angel or a gang member. It’s way bigger than that. We are perpetrating evil.

Trump went all in.

Musk went all in. Said western civilization would end. Bought votes.

Presler set up shop there. Kirk and all the podcasters went all in.

The whole MAGA machine got behind Schimel.

$53 million in spending including PACs.

But Susan Crawford won easily.

BREAKING: After a federal judge issued an injunction ending the refugee resettlement funding freeze, Rubio just started terminating all of the contracts. Judge Jamal Whitehead issues a follow-on injunction tonight ordering the terminated agreements reinstated unless Rubio actually follows the law.

A federal judge GRANTS a TRO barring the Trump admin from moving 12 incarcerated transgender women to men's prisons or disrupting their medical care.

The judge, Reagan-appointee Royce Lamberth, finds their lawsuit likely to win on Eighth Amendment grounds.
