Angry old man weighs in from his Palm Beach country club.

Across the country, ICE raids are being carried out with excessive force, little transparency, and devastating consequences for families. When enforcement looks like a military operation and accountability is absent, people get hurt and trust in law enforcement breaks down.

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY 💯% TRUE.

The regime moves to make journalism a crime But try as they might, they won't silence the voices of dissent.

New in PN: The regime moves to make journalism a crime

"The way he’s targeting the press isn’t just about quieting criticism so he doesn’t have to hear people being mean to him. It’s the same impulse we see on the streets of Mpls: He wants to dominate those who oppose him and force them to submit."

White and beautiful with all the snow, but completely lacking in color. I miss the colors at this time of year. Both photos were taken in color, and the picture of the house is just to show that there actually are some colors too.

Wishing you all a wonderful new week and a happy Monday!

This 16-year-old boy was beaten bloody & given a serious head injury by ICE for merely video taping!

I'm sure just like in the story below about Alberto Mondragon who's skull they fractured in 8 places & Alex Pretti who they shot in cold blood, they will lie about this, too!

ABOLISH ICE!

Everyone despise Melania and Trump why would any sane person would want to pay to see her in a documentary?! To paraphrase her “who gives a f*ck about her?”

Buttigieg on Fox News: "Seeing an American taken to the ground, having his gun removed, being shot in the back 10 times, then having the govt say he was a terrorist all along based on no evidence.. those are kinds of things that as painful as they are, can actually bring together a lot of Americans"
