Arizona Police Agencies Were Once at the Forefront of Local Immigration Enforcement. Now Most Are Avoiding It. In January, the Trump administration launched a national recruitment campaign to deploy local officers as deportation agents. It has added more than 900 agencies, but only four in Arizona have signed ...

Arizona police agencies are largely rejecting an ICE program that lets officers act as deportation agents, citing the experience of the state’s largest sheriff’s office where the program ended after a federal judge found civil rights violations.

Trump and his sycophants are making poor people poorer, so that they become desperate enough to go take the place of immigrant labor, and work as slaves in their new company towns.

Activism is the body of justice. It invites you into embodied declarations of dignity and worth. As you participate in its body, you find yourself increasingly grounded in your own.

The latest report that “ICE accidentally hired criminals” also said that “nearly half of recruits failed open book written exams.” The only way someone could fail an open book test is if they don’t know how to read. 🤦‍♀️ This just confirms what we already knew - ICE are big fucking soulless losers.

From witnessing it while serving with and deploying with Marines.

For decades Marine Corps scout snipers have gotten the Nazi SS branded on them (yes branded), claiming it means “scout sniper”, so you’ll never convince me that Graham Platner and his buddies didn’t know they were getting a Nazi tattoo. Leadership knew. The crayon eater ranks are full of Nazis.

Let’s talk about how for decades the Marine Corps Scout Snipers have gotten the Nazi SS branded on them, claiming it stands for “scout sniper,” and leadership has known but looked the other way. Yes, branded, not tattooed.

Just got an email that my pet insurance is increasing 46% next year. Can’t wait to see how much my human insurance is increasing. 🥺😒😖😡

Trump suggests US will buy Argentinian beef to bring down prices for American consumers President Donald Trump says the United States could purchase Argentinian beef in an attempt to bring down prices for American consumers.

Bankrupted American farmers and ranchers, who sold off their herds, will love hearing this.

If you’re wondering why a four-star admiral in Southern Command is abruptly retiring, 3 years earlier than what was expected, this is why.

Anyone who thinks that Trump posting a video dropping feces on Americans is okay, needs to shut the fuck up about their opinion of Americans taking a knee during the national anthem, or burning the American flag.

DC J6: 1.500 arrests
DC No Kings: zero

Tell me again which side is violent?

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

The revelation that Capitalism has Americans in such a chokehold, when it’s becoming more apparent that the majority would rather submit to authoritarianism, than risk the potential of financial loss by joining the resistance and speaking out in protest against the atrocities that are occurring. 🥺

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say A decision is not expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

I seriously hope that our military leaders remember their oath, and call an emergency stand down across all bases, to brief and reiterate what that entails to their junior service members.

Swear her in.

This is what happens when you won't exercise the 25th Amendment on a President with advanced elderly dementia. Stephen Miller is lying to him to get him to deploy troops and Trump has no idea how to tell reality from fantasy.

If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.

“Hi, my name is real life consequences” is now my favorite tv show of 2025. “Cardi Tries Law” was bumped from the top spot.

Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon says white Christian parents need to have "the talk" with their children about avoiding black people: "It is actually a failure of your parental duty ... if you lie to them and you say all people and all races of people in our country are the same."

Will We Have a Democracy in Our Future? Make every single act of authoritarian control require physical enforcement, then make that enforcement impossibly expensive and difficult.

“I spent weeks researching for any time in history where people successfully stopped fascists after they started winning elections. Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever.”

Trump, Shapiro square off over talk of National Guard fighting crime in American cities President Donald Trump faces yet another contentious court case if he attempts to order the National Guard to combat crime in Pennsylvania, an unprecedented...

“Trump would be out of bounds if he sought to send another state’s National Guard forces to Pennsylvania. “Under the Constitution, states are sovereign entities [with regard to] one another,” Ms. Goitein said. “That means one state cannot invade another, even at the president’s request.””

Space Command is moving to Huntsville, Aabama. Did you know its moving to REDSTONE ARSENAL, which is an EPA Superfund site due to the toxic waste and groundwater contamination that they're STILL dealing with? This will be another health disaster for the people stationed there like Camp Lejeune.
