Not only did they bring a small private army, but among the waste of taxpayer money was BRINGING A FULL PLANE OF FOOD.

Opinion | ICE and Minnesota Have Pushed the U.S. Closer to Autocracy Measuring America’s slide toward democratic erosion.

The 12-axis graph is the best I’ve seen for tracking our descent from democracy to autocracy

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...

After ICE release St. Paul woman, she says agents keep returning to her home Thi Dua Vang legally came to the U.S. two years ago. So when ICE showed up, she thought it must have been a mistake.

Perfect

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

New Trump admin slogan just dropped

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

This is delicious, especially the last para. The judge pretty much flays Secretary Noem.

Judge Fred Biery: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled
power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency."

Kudos to Judge Biery 👊 Not everyone is a coward. Read the whole order.

Incinerators?

Cruelty is big business

Anne Frank died of typhus she contracted in Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp. Not the gas chambers.

Dilley Concentration Camp currently has a measles outbreak. It's full of women and children.

Abolish ICE. Dismantle DHS. End the Holocaust Republicans are beginning against immigrants.

we assume that US justice has always been asymmetrical--favoring the rich & influential; but never have so many criminals been involved in something like a secret patriarchal community headed by one singular individual who was evidently videotaping & photographing them for purposes of blackmail.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it.

Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

He took over the Kennedy Center and the brilliant talent said "fuck you" and walked. So he's shuttering it for two years.

Notice how he's always destroying things while claiming to make it better? This is a dodge he's used his whole life.

Two wildly different standards for two wildly different parties:

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in NY. Epstein raped her too.

For anyone wondering why the victim dropped the case…

‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company $500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.
