Such a perfect example of Pundit Brain at work: Harper says he always knew Trump was lying about being the peace candidate β€” but still turned that into criticism of Harris.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth: "If there was ever a time for Republicans to find their spines, it's now, when the Commander in Chief readily admits that he is choosing to put our troops' lives at risk without a legitimate imminent threat to our homeland or our citizens."

While Americans are at imminent risk of being killed or injured because Trump decided to launch military strikes against Iran…

Pete Hegseth is focused on banning members of the military from attending Columbia, Yale, Brown and other universities because of β€œtoxic indoctrination.”

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

so great to live in a time when Republicans would rather allow a new and illegal war because they’re embarrassed to admit their President is a paedophile

I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost? If not, why the fuck do we have a congress? Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to all these assholes since they do absolutely NOTHING!

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

How to Film ICE Filming federal agents in public is legal, but avoiding a dangerousβ€”even deadlyβ€”confrontation isn’t guaranteed. Here’s how to record ICE and CBP agents as safely as possible and have an impact.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to harden up.

Pay attention to what steadies you β€” a quiet moment, a voice, a song β€” and keep those things close. They ain’t escapes; they’re anchors.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

ICE is a division of the Department of Homeland  Security. Much like DHS itself, it was spawned as a response to 9/11 and the Global War on Terror. ICE was created in a national security context, blending immigration enforcement with counterterrorism culture,  equipment, and mindset.

What we are seeing in the United States is the rise of the warrior cop. Masked federal agents donning multicam and plate carriers,  injected into civilian life with a GWOT mentality. This is no routine law enforcement. This is occupation-style policing.

Until recently, immigration enforcement was overwhelmingly a civil matter. Visa overstays, border crossings, and asylum claims were processed administratively rather than treated as battlefield threats.  Under the current administration, immigration is increasingly framed as criminality itself. So when the President says they are β€œgoing after criminals,” that definition quietly expands to include visa overstays, people in green card or asylum processing, and peaceful individuals caught in bureaucratic limbo. This framing becomes the justification for the police state.

The Department of Homeland Security has now taken the position, via internal guidance, that entering homes without a judicial warrant using administrative authority is lawful. This is an assertion by fiat,  not a principle recognized by the Constitution, statute, or the courts.  The Fourth Amendment does not bend to agency memos.

The militarization of domestic enforcement did not happen overnight. The surplus weapons, vehicles, and equipment from foreign wars were gradually brought home and distributed to federal agencies and police departments through long-standing programs that accelerated after 9/11. The tools of war have been normalized in civilian governance.

Now those weapons, systems, and intelligence apparatuses are being used against immigrants and citizens alike.

Soon, they will be used against you.

The technocratic police state is designed for mission creep.  Powers justified for one emergency expand to the next, until they are permanent, all-seeing, and unquestioned.

The left fights in the streets. The right cheers the legitimacy of the force used against them. Together, they move in a morbid waltz toward total technocratic control.

Do not be fooled. Every justification for state violence will be depersonalized, amplified, and systematized until it is a permanent feature of governance.

Abolish ICE. Reform the broken immigration system. Do not give the police state an inch.”
