Exclusive: US Marines carry out first known detention of civilian in Los Angeles, video shows Marines deployed to Los Angeles carried out the detention of a civilian on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by President Donald Trump.

The 250th anniversary of the Army is marked by it turning on its own people.

America has a long, long way to come back from all this.

Authoritarian dictatorship & fascism. Unfolding right in front of our eyes.

Southern Baptists vote to seek repeal of historic same-sex marriage ruling The Southern Baptist Convention is the nation's largest Protestant denomination and is holding its annual meeting in Dallas.

First, they came for Roe v Wade
Now, as predicted, they're coming for Obergefell v. Hodges
Ask me again why we need Pride month!

REP. MIKE JOHNSON (12/3/26, Breitbart interview): β€œI support President Trump’s decision to cancel last month’s elections unreservedly. Until the Radical Left ends these protests, it’s just not safe to hold an election. The President is well within his authority.”

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

The Memes You Need, Vol. 14: Trump-Musk Civil War Edition The Trump-Musk Civil Warβ€”the first digital nuclear warβ€”may be over now.... or half over, or not even close to over... anyway, we’ll always have the memes. The memes... good Lord, the memes! The memes!

Yesterday was a historic day in meme history. If you’re worried that no one captured all the memes and key tweets from Day 1 of the Trump-Musk Civil War, don’t worryβ€”as ever, RETRO has you covered.

Strap in, because this meme archive is hugeβ€”and it gets pretty wild and woolly. (Some of it R-rated.)

I just hate when a couple puts all their dirty laundry on social media.

I mean, yes, I understand that he told you to leave because he's moved on.

And I know he is telling everyone about the time you went to Epstein island.

I understand neither of you wants custody of Big Balls.

I'm beginning to think electing a sexist egotistical lying hypocritical bigot to the Presidency and in turn having him give a ketamine addicted toddler access to the country's most sensitive data wasn't a great idea.

I saw a post earlier where a man said he called to report his parents because of the circumcision he had 57 years ago. Apparently, the FBI agent/rep told him to please not call with that kind of reason as they had been getting calls about that all day.

Data harvesting and collection is what tech oligarchs were always after. They had no intention of saving money or reducing U.S. debt.

Veteran's daughter living in US 48 years locked up by ICE Certain legal provisions allow for extending citizenship to family members of individuals who have served in the U.S. military.

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War.

This is fascism, plain and simple.
