"If Hispanic voters are no longer in the GOP fold after watching Trump’s ceaseless, country-wide violence against immigrants, the administration’s solution is to make sure they can’t cast a ballot."

Justice Kavanaugh: "and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States."

These kids!!!

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody, advocates say The ACLU and other groups are pressing for ICE to identify and release all pregnant women in custody and to stop detaining anyone known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing.

New York Times: Scott Perry Says Democrats ‘Hate the Military,’ Echoing Trump’s attacks. The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

What is this No Kings Day all about? It’s about loving the America that Trump is trying to destroy

What is this No Kings Day all about? www.headsupnews.org/p/what-is-th... NEW from Heads Up News.

Important: this is exactly how propagandists operate.

No Fear, No Kings Why you need to come out to your local protest this weekend.

Jack has been running on cutting healthcare & pensions since the very first day he started trying to be governor nearly 10 years ago.

Northwest Chicago Suburb: ICE Agents Rip 15-Year-Old Girl from Car, Slam Her to Ground She Screams “I’m 15!” as Man Kneels on Her Neck

We are seeing dozens of these videos every day. It's happening all over the ocuntry. I know many people are outraged but it's just continuing unabated.

This feeling of impotence is devastating. How does it end? With the country emptied of brown people and dissidents in jail?

Love this…

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

One of the facts that should be mentioned is immigrants in the US without legal status still pay taxes in all sorts of ways, including the Medicare payroll tax, so it wouldn’t be “free health care.”

I just saw One Battle After Another, and I wonder: 1) if anyone could even make that movie today and 2) when does the revolution begin? Because, despite the ravings of Stephen Miller, it hasn't yet. And it's time. Also the movie is incredible.

The Attack on Chicago People need to look at these pictures and ask, is this America?

You can feel the bloodlust in every cinematic scene. The full-metal gear. The racing cars. The roar of the Black Hawks. The drawn guns aimed at their targets. Doors blasted open. The residents zip-tied and put into vans. The performative humiliation.

Amazing that the GOP is simultaneously always in lockstep on Trump messaging, but always seems to miss the latest speech or Truth Social post when it suits them.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
