🚨Graphic🚨 The 🧊 SS who punches this man and drags his face across the asphalt could be recognized by a former victim in his life. All of these people are on the wrong side of a cell door. These are not LEO’s. They are perps.

🚨The woman being assaulted by ICE, in front of her 16 y/o daughter, IS here legally. She just got her SSN and was scared. She could not remember the number to repeat it. The child screaming in horror will NEVER be the same after today. 1/2

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.

It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

This statement by JD Vance is no different from the people who claimed it’s “totally reasonable and acceptable” for white folks to not want Black people in their neighborhoods

Or to enact covenants which exclude Jews and Italians

It’s blatant racism-coming from the very top of the US government

Randall Gamboa in Nazi Noem custody for 8 months then died when deported back to Costa Rica.

Randall Gamboa in Nazi Noem custody for 8 months then died when deported back to Costa Rica.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US.

Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight.

He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.

That brings the running tally up to:
- 2nd CS gas / chemical weapons attack *this morning*
- 4th consecutive day of ICE / CBP tear gassing a Chicago neighborhood
- 7th neighborhood attack since a federal judge issued a ban on them doing so
- 9th neighborhood attack since the start of October

US ‘on a trajectory’ toward authoritarian rule, ex-officials warn A network of former intelligence and security officers says democratic decline is accelerating under Trump’s rule

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:

Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

Frightening face carved into a turnip to place a candle in

"In 1943 the National Museum of Ireland received a turnip lantern from a schoolteacher, Rois Ní Braonáin who was teaching near Fintown, Co. Donegal. She stated that it was the type that was always made in that locality around 1900. This plaster-cast model was created and painted by the museum artist, Eileen Barnes.

Candles were placed inside the turnips and they were used to frighten people on the night of 31 October. The pumpkin that is prevalent today is an American development of this Irish tradition." https://www.museum.ie/en-IE/Collections-Research/Collection/Top-things-to-see-in-the-Irish-Folklife-Collection/Artefact/Ghost-turnip/b202e8ea-0728-4b3d-b0f1-82660fe45ce9
