We have a saying: If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they're not a nice person.

2026 says: If someone is nice to you & also nice to nazis, they're not a nice person.

Stop defending your "nice MAGA neighbor" who's ok with ICE Schutzstaffel kidnapping people from the streets. Enough.

ICE’s Warrantless Home Entry Policy Violates the Fourth Amendment Text SIGN PGJEEK to 50409 — Recent reporting has revealed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a secret internal memo dated May 12, 2025, authorizing agents to forcibly enter private homes without a judicial warrant, relying instead on administrative warrants issued within the executive branch. This policy violates the Fourth Amendment. For more than four decades, Supreme Court precedent has drawn a “firm line at the entrance to the house.” In Payton v. New York, the Court held that law enforcement may not enter a home to make an arrest without a warrant issued by a neutral and detached judicial officer, absent narrow, case-specific exceptions such as consent or true exigent circumstances. Administrative convenience, internal authorization, or asserted probable cause by officers in the field are not sufficient. ICE’s reported guidance attempts to erase that constitutional line by substituting executive-branch paperwork for judicial authorization. Administrative warrants—signed by immigration officers who are employees of the enforcing agency—are not judicial warrants. They do not satisfy the Fourth Amendment requirement that a judge independently assess probable cause before the government crosses the threshold of a home. The memo itself reportedly acknowledges that the Department of Homeland Security “has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone” to enter residences. Nevertheless, it asserts that DHS lawyers now believe the Constitution does not prohibit such entries. That claim directly contradicts controlling Supreme Court law, including Payton and Steagald v. United States, which makes clear that even a valid arrest warrant does not grant law enforcement a general license to enter homes without judicial authorization. Equally troubling is how this policy was handled. According to whistleblower disclosures, the memo was not formally distributed, was conveyed largely through verbal briefings, and agents were instructed to read and return the document. This extraordinary secrecy raises serious concerns about whether ICE leadership understood the guidance would not withstand judicial or congressional scrutiny. Exceptions to the warrant requirement—such as consent or exigent circumstances—are narrow, fact-specific doctrines. They cannot be transformed into a standing policy authorizing forced home entry as a routine enforcement practice. An emergency cannot be declared by memo, and necessity cannot be institutionalized to bypass constitutional limits. If allowed to stand, this policy would normalize warrantless home entry by federal agents and undermine one of the Constitution’s most fundamental protections. Once the Fourth Amendment’s protections at the home’s threshold are weakened, the damage will not be confined to immigration enforcement. Congress has both the authority and the obligation to act. We urge you to: 1. Publicly repudiate ICE’s reliance on administrative warrants for home entry as inconsistent with the Fourth Amendment. 2. Conduct immediate oversight and investigation into the drafting, legal review, approval, dissemination, and implementation of the May 12, 2025 memo, including holding responsible officials accountable through removal from leadership roles, disciplinary action, and referral for appropriate consequences where warranted. 3. Enact statutory safeguards explicitly prohibiting ICE and DHS from entering homes without a judicial warrant. 4. Use Congress’s power of the purse to condition funding on full compliance with Fourth Amendment requirements. 5. Replace and reform ICE to ensure constitutional limits are respected, enforced, and institutionalized. The Fourth Amendment is not optional. It cannot be rewritten by internal memoranda or displaced by administrative forms. Congress must act now to stop an unconstitutional practice before it becomes entrenched as standard operating procedure.

Tesla Q1 Earnings Miss Expectations with Steep Drop in Auto Revenue More bad news for Elon Musk

NEWS: Tesla’s net income in Q1 plunges 71% as global backlash against Elon Musk takes its toll — and without selling $595 million in regulatory credits, the company would’ve posted a loss.

Brutal.

The ball is in Trump's court, so why no news from Washington? Dickenson and Buchanan Counties are still waiting for an answer, Kentucky has already received approval. So, what is going on?

We are deeply concerned about the current state of our country. As civil servants, we are doing everything in our power to resist, even if it costs us our jobs. We are proud to be Americans, but what is happening right now does not reflect the values we, as Americans, stand for!

The propaganda of political division gives the illusion that it’s possible to punish the opposite party and not your own. As if there are two Americas and we can target our enemies to hurt only them. It’s a damn shame it will take Trump hurting all of America for some to find out we were never separate groups in the first place. Quote by Melissa Nadia Viviana

We have to stop dividing our problems into “left and right" and start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.”

737 billionaires in the U.S. have a combined wealth of 5.5 trillion. And they funneled it out of the middle class.

Then Trump keeps us fighting with each other while they steal more.

People who are silent about their politics are silent because their political views harm others.

They harm others but they still want access to our spaces.

They still want access to you despite voting to directly harm you.

Make no mistake, your silence on political issues is LOUD & CLEAR.
