The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Did you see this today?

Anti #ICE protesters carried a MASSIVE U.S.
Constitution through the streets of Minneapolis.
Not a flag.
Not a slogan.
The Constitution.
Thousands marched, demanding accountability and asking whether federal enforcement is aligning with the rights written on those pages.

Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

Hussam Qassem made a drum set from plastic, wood, and metal scraps.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

That’s the spirit guiding EU officials as they fine-tune a plan to bring Ukraine into the bloc by the end of next year.

But why the hurry?

As American Views of ICE Dim, Warehouses Become a Symbol of Resistance

The federal government has a plan to convert a warehouse located in Chester, NY into an ICE detention facility.

But despite the frigid temperatures, New Yorkers have turned out in droves to make their voices heard: We don't want mass detention camps in our communities. ICE has no place in New York.

This is promising news, but her case is still ongoing in federal court. We’ll keep fighting until she's free for good.

If you go to Whipple and see ribbons tied to the fenceβ€”they were from the really beautiful rally today led by Indigenous people. The ties are prayers and a symbol for the people held inside the building to know that they haven’t been forgotten

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) β€” Alberto CastaΓ±eda MondragΓ³n says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man β€œpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
