ICE is still a HUGE story and active in Minneapolis and elsewhere. Detention centers are being built everywhere. How can they be stopped?? Minneapolis showed such unity and strength in numbers (and courage).

I believe in giving credit where it’s due. Hang the entire Gorsuch concurrence in the Louvre.

Master class in telling your colleagues they’ve lost their fucking minds.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

"Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, has been—and still is—under a paramilitary occupation in which the federal government is at war with the population. 'War' is the operative word here."

@jvl.bsky.social on what he saw in Minneapolis: lnk.thebulwark.com/46kVMuT

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

Months before they murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti, ICE shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez

Kicking off an era of rampant, unchecked lawlessness by Trump’s DHS agents

A kind of sick practice run for Minnesota, if you will

And-for nearly a year-Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi covered it all up

We all know that Trump explodes any time someone mentions Epstein

So you have to think that all the information coming out which repeatedly ties Lutnick to the sex trafficker will ultimately force him to leave the cabinet, one way or another

NEWS: Dozens of Companies Sue Trump to Get Tariff Refunds as DOJ Caught Trying to Scrub Epstein Files that Could be Used as Blackmail Against Trump Good morning and happy Saturday, everyone.

Major news: Dozens of companies line up to sue Trump to get tariff refunds as he continues to lash out on Truth Social.

Trump eliminates the de minimums exemption and reimposes 10% tariffs across the board.

The DOJ was caught trying to scrub Epstein files that could be used to blackmail Trump.

Texas U.S. citizen was fatally shot by an immigration agent last year during a stop, new records show The death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, would mark the earliest of at least six deadly shootings by federal officers since the start of the Trump administration's nationwide immigration crackdown.

Our government shot & killed an American citizen during a stop last year. We’re only finding out about it now. Where’s the outrage ⁦‪from Senators Cornyn‬⁩ & ⁦‪Cruz‬⁩ ? This is their constituent.

I sure love your analogies !

The world is watching!

When a nation cages children, strips rights, silences dissent & weaponizes poverty, the world doesn’t call it leadership!

It calls it Crimes Against Humanity!

Survivors demand Justice! Children deserve to be Safe!

The allegations include making sexist jokes about a transgender panelist, leering at a 19-year-old's outfit, and telling a staffer he understood why companies avoid hiring women of childbearing age.

Krauss, a prominent scientist and outspoken liberal, chose to confide in Epstein about his own misconduct, proving the predator network was a safe space for abusers of all stripes.

Summary of current events:

The US had an Iran strike package teed up and ready to launch in mid-late January.

Bibi told Trump his plans weren’t big enough.

Now we’re sending everything with wings to the Middle East.

This is what I’ve been talking about for weeks now.

There’s still a potential (read: very very small) for an off-ramp, but they aren’t sending all this hardware into the region for nothing.

Trump is very underwater on immigration.

There is no reason for Dems to cave on ICE funding.

The good news is, on earth 2 we used the gazillion dollars we collected in tariffs to pay off the debt in full.

Lindsey Graham is a haggard old alcoholic who sold his soul on the golf course after Trump told him he also knew about the worst kept secret on Capitol Hill (nice work, Jared). Having him insult our allies while in a blackout is not what our forefathers envisioned. Retire, lush.

As tax filing season starts, remember that Trump made filing harder and more expensive.

He slashed IRS staff and reduced its budget.

He canceled Direct File, which let you file your taxes for free.

Trump wants the IRS to work for billionaires and giant tax prep companies, not you.

Human rights violation.

An outline of the Calender Girl auctions.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

I dealt with my three week old being hospitalized with an infection. The idea of being jailed and deported during that horrible experience, when you’re already terrified for your vulnerable baby…I feel like I can’t breathe when I think about it

“Lorth Sim, a Cambodian national, died in ICE custody on Monday, the seventh since the start of the year and nearly the 40th since Trump took office. ICE has not updated its website to reflect this latest detainee death as of the time of this writing.”

I think it’s pretty clear this is all extremely intentional.

The media has refused to cover Trump as he actually is for 10 years: a corrupt, racist imbecile.

It’s intentional.

These way out of proportion attacks on AOC, smarter than Trump in every way, are intentional.

It’s in an offshore acct

Meta does NOT like the Epstein files!

I cross-post on many social media accounts. Threads has now suspended two of my accounts (@tomwellborn3rd and @tomwellborn33, 34k followers and 18k followers) for posting Epstein information right from the DOJ.

For those unaware, a quick primer on perhaps the most dangerous of the oligarchs.

Peter Thiel.

That’s my concern. They aren’t building all these detention centers just for immigrants, I fear.

I don’t think that’s going to work out the way they want it to, though.

As far as to what end, the cruelty is always the point with these people.
