Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office.
How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

My statement on Cleveland Clinic’s decision to deny preventive care to patients who are unable to pay their copay upfront ⬇️

And as soon as Democrats stopped flying to the gulag and everyone stopped talking about it, Trump’s immigration numbers started climbing back up

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

The Mob doesn't divest. Or resign.

Sometimes the Mob goes to prison.

Let's get #WokePope trending. It will infuriate all the right people.

There should be a Surgeon General's warning on Bobby Kennedy Jr. The damage he's doing to America can only be measured in corpses.

Here's the perfect link to share with your normie non-news-addicted loved ones who may not yet be properly concerned about the sadism of this man serving as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

No plea. No grand jury. No investigation. No discovery. No trial. No conviction by a jury. But the unemployed scooter wanker says you're done as a judge. GFY scott

They'll be dropped because there is no jury that would convict. All bluster, no substance. Damaging AF nonetheless.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

If the Supreme Court - especially THIS Supreme Court - no longer takes DHS at its word, corporate media probably shouldn’t either. Just sayin.

Two-year-old US citizen appears to have been deported 'with no meaningful process' The Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen "with no meaningful process," a federal judge said on Friday, as the child's father sought to have her returned to the United States.

It doesn't matter what the rest of the sentence says, the opening 10 words in themselves are the scandal:

"President Trump on Thursday directed the Justice Department to investigate ... "

This seems ominous.

Though Lewandowski had initially wanted to serve as Noem’s chief of staff, President Trump and his top advisers were uncomfortable with Lewandowski in that role, owing to tabloid reports of a romantic relationship between Lewandowski and Noem over the years, according to people familiar with the president’s thinking. Lewandowski and Noem, who are both married, have publicly denied the reports of the affair. Trump and Lewandowski settled on the special government employee job, according to people familiar with the discussions. Lewandowski denied he was having an affair with Noem, and the spokesperson for DHS said the department “doesn’t waste time with salacious, baseless gossip.”

A line graph of estimated AIDS-related deaths from 2025 through 2040 in 55 PEPFAR-supported countries. The Y axis is estimated number of deaths and ranges from 200,000 to 2 million. The X axis is years and ranges from 2010 to 2040. There is a black line labeled “historical trend” from 2010 to 2025 showing a decrease in deaths from 1.2 million to ~420,000. Then in 2025 the black line splits into three scenarios: 1) a dashed green line showing deaths if USAID were to increase, 2) a dashed blue line showing deaths if USAID remained at 2024 levels, and 3) a dashed red line showing deaths if USAID stopped and was not replaced. In scenario 1 (funding increased) deaths continue to decrease from ~420,000 to 200,000. In scenario 2 (funding stays the same) deaths stay the same at 420,000. In scenario 3 (funding cut and not replaced) deaths increase from ~420,000 to 1.7 million.

A Lancet preprint estimates that if US funding is cut and not replaced, from 2025-2040 there will be 15.2 mil add'l AIDS deaths, 2.2 mil add'l TB deaths, 7.9 mil add'l child deaths from other causes, and 40-55 mil add'l unplanned pregnancies.

FDA making plans to end its routine food safety inspections, sources say Food safety inspections would be left to state and local authorities under the plan being developed by the FDA.

Can states withhold the tax revenue we would otherwise send to the feds so we can inspect our own goddamned food? www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

I'm going to memorize this thread.
