Personally I'd like to see him kept around for study, in a psych ward, perhaps. He's a very sick man, and dangerous, obviously, maybe close to nature death according to some people.

"In this week’s House hearings, it was clear Dem lawmakers, like the rest of us, had reached the famed point in '54’s McCarthy hearings when J. Welch, at the limit of his tolerance for McCarthy’s lies and cruelty exclaimed, '“Have you no sense of decency, sir?'" www.commondreams.org/further/on-f...

A few months ago, we counted at least 170 Americans detained.

They were *almost all Latino.*

Trumpy is likely doing the same thing.

Isn't this the same playbook Putin and his Russian sympathizers/aggitators inside Ukraine used prior to invading?

Taking a stand for democracy and decent government in Edwarsville, Illinois on Feb. 13, and against the horrific abuses of the current administration. More than 200 patriots and good people who care about others and love their country.

What kinds of leaders kill their own citizens, for any reason? There is no justification.

I choose to be on the side that cares about the innate value and worth of human beings, not the side that demonizes them from the moment of birth and demands absolute obedience, or else.

Howard Lutnick faces bipartisan calls to resign over latest Epstein revelations Recently disclosed records suggest a closer relationship than the Commerce secretary previously indicated.

Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein.

Now we learned that they were in business together.

He has no business being our Commerce Secretary.

He should resign.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón 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 “purposefully 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.

208. The Fifth Circuit Jumps the Immigration Detention Shark Late Friday, two of the nation's most right-wing circuit judges adopted an odious legal claim that district court judges from across the country (and ideological spectrum) have overwhelmingly rejected

“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”

. . . This administration gives no time for people to adjust to change, on purpose probably, no matter how brutal or different -- like an electric shock attack, or perpetual shock-and-awe campaign.

What kind of a human thinks shooting a young mother like Renee Goode in the face, whose last words were conciliatory, is good LE? What kind of a belief system justifies shooting a man like Alex Pretti, all 147 pounds of him, multiple times in the back while laying motionless on the ground?

. . . and citizens have a fundamental right to demand basic human respect from those who enforce our laws, of which no one is above

You can take in all the news from the last week and become justifiably angry at the degradation and death, or you can avoid reality and pretend average Americans are 'terrorists,' thinking it's okay to treat people and protestors like animals. As for law enforcement, they work for us . . .

When she brings the dog she brutally shot and killed back to life, I'll respect her, not before.

How does identifying the problem amount to fearmongering if a solution isn't offered? Some problems are complex and big and take time, and not every solution is easily identifiable. I know when my car has a problem, but I'm not fearmongering anyone if I tell them I don't know how to fix it.

He should be calling for her prosecution not just for her firing.

Read this. Reread it. Reread it until it sinks in.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

the entire political party is rotten to the core, stabbed the country in the back

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

I grew up when Evangelicals and conservative Christians were holding revival services, alter services, appealing to people to come to Christ and be saved on a personal and friendly level. Now Christian Nationalists and conservative Christians just want to threaten you, or put a gun to your head.

A Pastor's Warning: We're Not in a Civil War, But a Christian Nationalist Holy War—And They Must Not Win. I’m not sure Americans really understand what we’re facing right now.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Inhumane, murderous, unconscionable acts and crimes against humanity. The perpetrators who killed good, decent, legal Americans this past week will be held accountable, I don't care how far they run or hide, or how many years go by, justice will be done.

You can’t just say “Abolish ICE”. You also have to say “Abolish ICE and throw every person working in the agency into federal prison for crimes against humanity”.

Opinion | Tim Walz: The Un-American Assault on Minnesota Federal officials are lying. My state’s Corrections Department honors all immigration detainers.

I spoke to the President earlier. We had a productive conversation and I explained to him that his staff doesn’t have their facts straight about Minnesota. My thoughts in the Wall Street Journal:

TikTok misusing our personal data was bad.

TikTok now being partly controlled by a Trump-aligned billionaire family and one of his biggest political donors who also owns other major media outlets is even worse.
