Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Republicans:

Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers”

Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.

The most disheartening thing about America’s descent into fascism has been the abject cowardice of virtually all the people and institutions that could have stood up and refused to comply.

Beyond the 60 Minutes payoff & Colbert cancelation, an unprecedented capitulation: as part of merger agreement, new parent company agrees to install an official to "monitor bias" at CBS’s news division. CBS news will essentially be state controlled media.

Prime Minister of the UK, Keir Starmer:

"The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible."

You know who’s not in the Epstein files? These guys.

The Cover-up Congress goes on recess.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

He’s just stating the facts…

Congress has decided to claw back previously approved funding for public media.

This decision hurts people in communities across the country, but it has only strengthened our resolve to keep Americans informed and connected. (1/2)

Alligator Alcatraz isn’t meant for minors. A 15 year old ended up there anyway “Immediate action was taken to separate and remove the detainee in accordance with federal protocols,” said Stephanie Hartman, a spokeswoman for the Florida Division of Emergency Management, which ove...

As @MarshaBlackburn & @RepTimBurchett try to gaslight you into believing Trump’s Trillions Transfer helps regular people, the reality:

Guardian headline: How Trump’s bill will supercharge mass deportations by funneling $170bn to Ice By Lauren Gambino Image of protesters against ICE

The Big Ugly Bill...ionaire Tax Break Bill also supercharges ICE which already receives "... about 36 times the IRS’s budget for tax enforcement, 21 times the firearms enforcement budget, 13 times the drug enforcement budget and eight times more than the FBI’s."

Multiply that by 7x if this passes.

There's a lot to despise in this Republican megabill, but I don't think enough attention has been paid to how it supercharges ICE, hastening the MAGA march toward a police state.

Riley: Don’t tell me you give a shit about the middle class when all you are doing is shitting on the middle class

Almost as if economists predicted this would happen.

AOC: Trump has insisted that this bill does not cut Medicaid. He has also said he doesn’t think I’m a smart person. It doesn’t take a smart person to know when you are being lied to. President Trump, you are either being lied to, or you are lying to the American people.

Concentration camps on American soil. Masked agents terrorizing our neighbors and abducting people off the streets to fill them.

As if that weren’t horrific enough—some so-called “Christians” are cheering it on like it’s some kind of twisted, dehumanization porn.

What the hell have we become?

So, we have concentration camps in America, and some who identify as "Christians" can hardly contain their glee.

What a sad day in America.
