As American Views of ICE Dim, Warehouses Become a Symbol of Resistance

“John T. Bell, the Chester village mayor, sent a four-page letter to ICE citing zoning and sewer restrictions that prohibit the agency from putting 1,500 people in the Pep Boys building, which was designed to hold 150. He also criticized ICE for failing to share its plan with local officials”

The President, Vice President, Congress, Supreme Court and the Military have all taken an Oath to PROTECT and DEFEND the Constitution. Where are the Protectors? Where are the Defenders? I am a Veteran and I hold that Oath near and dear to my heart. Those who stomp on it are Terrorist and Criminals.

Pardoned J6ers continue their crime sprees across America.

Russia continues to answer diplomacy with missiles.
We are determined to make that choice painfully expensive.

Today, we present our 20th sanctions package.

Sanctions severely hurt Russia’s economy.
And every sanction chips away at its capacity for war. (1/9)

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country.

But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things.

I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers.

Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now:

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Greetings from Kyiv, where candles are the last option during wartime blackouts The fourth winter of Russia's war on Ukraine has been the most brutal in recent times, with heat and electricity blackouts lasting for days as Russia repeatedly attacks Ukraine's energy grid.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

❗️❗️Within the next 48 hours, Russia may strike a massive attack, probably on the energy infrastructure of Kyiv and the region, — ERadar

▪️Right now, several Tu-95MS aircraft have taken off from the Far East and are heading to the Engels airfield to be equipped with cruise missiles;

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Emails indicate Melania & convicted pedoophile Ghislaine Maxwell had pet names for one another

Melania called her "G"

And she called Melania
"Sweetpea"

Does this sound like people who barely know one another?

It has been reported that Epstein trafficked Melania to Trump.

“NATO is trying to swallow Ukraine and turn it into a launchpad against Russia”

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead.

He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

🤬 Since morning, Russians have been attacking Kropyvnytskyi with missiles and drones. Jet Shaheds, winged Kh-59s and Kinzhals.

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?
