For the record, mockery is a perfectly effective form of resistance against ICE.
They want us to be violent so they can put pictures on Facebook and justify a forceful response with their base. They can't do that with an inflatable unicorn costume.
They suck, it has become the Trump Times. Maggie Haberman helped get him elected by killing stories to ensure the public didn't hear about how awful he is. Now they expect us to think she is objective? Never gonna happen.

But this is how they roll: they did this with climate science & deniers, vaccines & anti-vaxxers, BLM & racists.

Here's the deal:
Democrats want to extend credits for the Affordable Health Care insurance program and make them permanent.
Republicans do not!
Why?
They want to privatize the insurance market to make billionaires money.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.
MAGA can take their βAmerica Firstβ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

A practice that would have been unthinkable under past administrations is becoming normalized: Sending ICE detainees, without due process, to far-flung prisons.
@nlanard.bsky.social takes us inside the "legal black hole" in Eswatini, where Trump is sending detainees.
Important info about the hypocrisy of our "justice" systems and those that spout off the loudest.
