I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Les Wexner is trying to downplay his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but we aren't buying it. Not only did Mr. Wexner give Epstein A TON of money, but he even signed the infamous "birthday book."

We won't stop until all of Epstein's co-conspirators are exposed.

A tariff β€œrefund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Just a reminder that TWO MONTHS have now gone by since the deadline for releasing ALL of the Epstein files.

Trump's corrupt DOJ has released less than half, and those that were released were illegally redacted to protect pedophiles and their enablers. (Victims names and images were exposed.)

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have?

β€’ She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall.
β€’ She’s deported fewer people than Obama.
β€’ She’s not helping any of these red-state governors with their disasters.

Why hasn’t he fired her?

If you’re seeing this photo around, the BBC found the original source and it’s AI generated with Gemini. The signs in the background with Hebrew writing don’t actually translate to anything.

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together β€” organizers, reporters, and those who care β€” and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a β€œriot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.

β€œIt just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

Graphic Text: The people ICE grabbed up, the people they shot, are not threats to you and me. They are not the violent criminals that Trump promised to go after. These are our neighbors, they are our friends, they are our colleagues. The people who treat us when we are sick.

No one is made safer by ICE snatching up our neighbors, our friends, or our colleagues.

DUCKWORTH: If it's true that we are not at war with Venezuela, will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act?

RUBIO: That was a mechanism to remove people from our country that present great danger

D: It's a wartime act. Are we currently at war?

R: No

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop?

Morale plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports While immigration officers support the Trump administration’s goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown β€˜disillusioned’ with leadership’s tactics, according to reports

Keep it up. Make sure they know they’re loathed.
