In ICE’s Own Words, It’s “Wartime” in America ICE just launched a “wartime recruitment” campaign and seeks agents who want to “defend” their “culture.” There will be more Renee Goods.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

Today, we're learning why DOJ didn't release the redacted files last March. Because the multitude of redactions exposes how much they're covering up.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

We have long possessed the ability to have everyone fed, clothed and housed and have chosen not to do so. Now, this regime demands the power to commit more aggravated impoverishment.

Trump's Four Freedoms:

Freedom from shame. Freedom from accountability. Freedom from responsibility. Freedom from empathy.

This whole stupid, destructive mess is about being freed from the obligations of reasonable, kind, responsible adulthood.

After the Minnesota shooting Senior DOJ officials started weighing proposals to limit transgender people's right to possess firearms.

After the Kirk shooting, I look forward to the DOJ's proposal to limit white men's ability to possess firearms.

Wait, what do you mean that's not how it works???🤔

This can’t be accurate because Trump said we took in like $17 trillion in tariffs.

Trump shelved his plans to target Chicago as the next city for his domestic crime push after advisers warned him that sending in troops to help with local law enforcement (without buy-in from the state’s governor) could create legal headaches they want to avoid, sources familiar with the matter told CNN

Now he’s going to Memphis

It absolutely matters here that Pritzker was effective at sounding the alarm and plainly stating this would be unconstitutional in a profoundly radical and fundamental way, and showing he could rally practical popular opposition, which then gets spun as backing out over "legal headaches."

Even the Wall Street Journal says Republicans are in the “political danger zone.”
The truth is breaking through. Don’t take your foot off the gas.

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.

RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

Today is the 5th anniversary of the death of John Lewis. As he said from his deathbed, "Now it's your turn to let freedom ring." We must heed his charge & we must prevail.

'A Slap in the Face': Missouri's GOP Governor Repeals Voter-Approved Paid Sick Leave | Common Dreams "The governor's action today demonstrates the absolute disdain Republicans have for working Missourians."

Last year, a majority of voters in Missouri passed a ballot initiative enacting paid sick leave.

Yesterday, Missouri's Republican governor signed legislation repealing it.

Do Republicans ever listen to the will of their voters? https://www.commondreams.org/news/missouri-paid-sick-leave

We the People will not bow down to tyrants. We will respond by getting in good trouble instead.

On July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities are coming together.

Because #GoodTroubleLivesOn. See you in the streets 📣

Don Bongino desperately misses the attention that comes with being an online shitposter and is bored to death having a real job. If he resigns, that's why.
