I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.

Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.

Let people find joy where they can, please.

'An urgent issue': Hundreds of Georgia foster kids may have been sex trafficked, report says A new report shows that hundreds of children have likely been sex trafficked while in Georgia’s foster care system.

Project 2025 calls for the removal of kids from poor single parent households to be placed with “proper” parents.

With SNAP being cut, the judgement on low income families is only increasing.

Meanwhile 1,790 kids went missing from Georgia foster care. Many of them were likely sex trafficked

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

it's jarring to think about how much federal funding used to go to stuff like cancer research, food safety, public health, science grants, and USAID and now it's private planes for ICE, $40 billion to Argentina and a ballroom where the East Wing of the White House used to be

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Imagine you’re driving a loved one to the hospital ER to find ICE blocking the entry and then drags them out of your car or off the hospital grounds.

ICE ran an operation outside Rush-Copley Hospital in Aurora, Illinois.

They even blocked an ambulance.

My dad, explaining AI to my mom: “It doesn’t think. It copies stuff wrong.”

I passed this idea on to someone I know in the Democratic party in Illinois. If it gains traction, I'll let you know.

You can volunteer anytime for your local dem party affiliation.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

VIDEO: FBI Agents Visit Anti-ICE Protester “Your name was brought up.”

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

🚨 oh look! Jack Smith is calling Marsha Blackburn’s bluff. Surely she should want him to testify publicly if she isn’t entirely full of 💩, right? Right??

I’ve voted in every election since age 18. But I absolutely could not envision this. And I think we have to be clear about it. This is what the GOP voted for. Every bit of it. All the people we think they hate, they actually hate. They are simply upset that it appears to be backfiring on them.

The Federal Government was preparing to “surge” San Francisco, California, on Saturday, but friends of mine who live in the area called last night to ask me not to go forward with the surge in that the Mayor, Daniel Lurie, was making substantial progress. I spoke to Mayor Lurie last night and he asked, very nicely, that I give him a chance to see if he can turn it around. I told him I think he is making a mistake, because we can do it much faster, and remove the criminals that the Law does not permit him to remove. I told him, “It’s an easier process if we do it, faster, stronger, and safer but, let’s see how you do?” The people of San Francisco have come together on fighting Crime, especially since we began to take charge of that very nasty subject. Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, and others have called saying that the future of San Francisco is great. They want to give it a “shot.” Therefore, we will not surge San Francisco on Saturday. Stay tuned!

How gracious of the king: "I spoke to Mayor Lurie last night and he asked, very nicely, that I give him a chance to see if he can turn it around ... Therefore, we will not surge San Francisco on Saturday. Stay tuned!"

Only one of these images of the White House is real...

Supreme Court Shadow Docket Tracker — Challenges to Trump Administration Actions The Court is ruling on challenges to government actions on its emergency docket, often without explaining its decisions or providing guidance to lower courts.

In a major break from the past, the Supreme Court is frequently using its emergency docket to rule on challenges to government actions — almost always in favor of the Trump administration and without explanation. bit.ly/4nXIr2p

Children Zip-Tied During ICE Raid on Family Event in Idaho The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Newsweek that ICE arrested 105 migrants without legal status during the operation.

🚨WTF: WHY IS NOBODY REPORTING ON THIS? Children were reportedly ZIP-TIED during a multi-agency law enforcement raid in Wilder, Idaho, as 100s of people were detained and police FIRED RUBBER BULLETS.

Not a basketball court or a bowling alley.

Republicans sound ridiculous making that comparison.

This isn’t an “upgrade” to the White House, it’s a monument to himself. Trump has no intention of ever leaving — he’s building his own palace and tearing down the entire East Wing to make it happen.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The provision of law barring ICE from turning away members of Congress is part of the annual appropriations bill. With the FY25 bill now expired and the government shut down, ICE is now saying they are no longer obligated to allow members entry; and their congressional visit process isn’t funded.
