More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. Theyโ€™ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally โ€” almost certainly incomplete โ€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

Theyโ€™ve had their necks kneeled on.

Theyโ€™ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

Whatโ€™s its key example? Wait for it . . . Itโ€™s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Finally, this is what Iโ€™ve been saying for years too.
First increase all of the rents, mortgages and food.
Destroy all renewable energy and then make electricity so expensive it will be the final realisation that we are indeed all slaves to the system.

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.'

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting.

As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.

โ€œIt was so offensive to what weโ€™re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,โ€ one official involved said.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to โ€œweather the stormโ€ after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

It's a revealing moment...

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.

The inconsistency reveals this isnโ€™t about economics.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon Iโ€™ve given and itโ€™s while Iโ€™m being arrested. Itโ€™s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. Iโ€™m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Trump just isn't in the Epstein files. He's absolutely everywhere all over them. And we're only scratching the surface!! www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
