Ethnic Cleansing in Ohio? Nazi Lies in Vance's America

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

We oppose the ICE funding bill.

We call for a full and transparent investigation with state officials.

And we call on our Republican colleagues to stand up. They know this is wrong.

Videos verified by The New York Times show the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday was holding a phone, not a gun, before the agents took him to the ground and shot him. At least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Gun Activists Bridle at Suggestion That Pistol Justified Killing The National Rifle Association and others have argued citizens need guns to fend off government. The killing of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, who carried a pistol, set off debate.

Some high-profile gun rights activists and groups bristled at government officials’ claims that federal agents may have been justified in killing Alex Jeffrey Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday because he was carrying a pistol. "Carrying a gun is not a crime," said the head of one advocacy company.

The Pretti family’s heartbreaking request to all of us: get the truth out about our son.

Alex was an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA whose last act was to protect the woman next to him. We will not let this Administration spread lies.

January 24, 2026 This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

Noem:

"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."

Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.

Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

National Park Service will void passes with stickers over Trump's face The use of an image of Trump on the 2026 pass — rather than the usual picture of nature — has sparked a backlash, sticker protests, and a lawsuit from a conservation group.

NEW DATA: in November, the unemployment rate rose to the highest level since September 2021. That’s Trump’s economy.

Paramount-owned CBS abruptly canceled a story exposing the Trump administration's brutal deportations.

The reporter called it a "political decision."

Paramount needs Trump’s backing to buy Warner Bros. — including CNN.

Is that just a coincidence?

This looks like corruption.

Nearly all the staff in the Office of Special Education have been fired as part of Trump’s sweeping layoffs.

These are the people responsible for protecting the civil rights of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive an equal education.

More needless cruelty on display.

Nothing boosts morale quite like being accidentally fired.

Smithsonian closes as government shut down continues The Smithsonian's museums and zoo are now closed due to the government shut down. Tours of historic Washington, D.C. sites have been suspended and the National Gallery of Art is also closed.

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back.

Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Thanks to Republicans, some Americans will pay $22,000/year to keep their health insurance.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.

$22,000.

That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.

No Hulu for me until this gets fixed.

There goes the First Amendment.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.
