TACO Trump Chickens Out on Major Immigration Flip Donald Trump has decided he’s OK with hurting farmers, actually.

The Department of Homeland Security is reversing guidance sparing farms, hotels, and restaurants from immigration raids, less than a week after Donald Trump admitted just how destructive his sweeping deportation efforts were to those industries.

Trump’s parade isn’t what he was hoping for. It was a disappointing, sad affair | Moira Donegan

"The uniformed soldiers marched irregularly, slightly off beat; the turnout was small and the crowd seemed defeated, low-energy, a bit wilted and unenthused after spending hours in DC’s brutal summer humidity. It rained," writes Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan.

This is what authentic patriotism looks like.

There are a lot of folks like me who feel pretty proud of "liberty and justice for all" and view the current administration as a destructive occupation. That's why we have a 1st amendment.

A LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house" The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”

β€œThis is a chilling statement. Even if it were a joke, it was clearly designed to make the public afraid to exercise its First Amendment rights to protest and to hold government officials, including LAPD officers, accountable for their actions.”
