South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now itโ€™s commonplace.

Thatโ€™s not making America great again.

This post does not take into account that Kimmel and Colbert before him absolutely protested through comedy everything that you are staying here.

Help me figure out what to do. Is there a way to boycott all these oligarchs who are shutting down free speech? Is there a website somewhere or a place to go to figure out how to stop subscribing to things that are funding this? I'm scared and at a loss. #Kimmel #Colbert #FreeSpeech

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesnโ€™t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Feel like Iโ€™m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Instead of the mediaโ€™s lazy posthumous takes, I am in favor of Kirkโ€™s actual words being spread far and wide.

Donald Trump will go to the ends of the Earth to make life easier for billionaire CEOs but doesnโ€™t lose a night of sleep screwing over people with student debt.

NYT newsletter's top headline on Iran. It reads, "Trump will decide on Iran attack 'within the next two weeks,' White House says."

There's a subtle asymmetry between the times when access journalism outlets claim something is newsworthy bc Trump SAID something, and when they report something he said as if it were true.

Attention protesters: If you want to avoid being arrested, simply wave a Confederate flag. You might even get VIP treatment.

Dear Canada-
Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever.

Americans sour on Trump's handling of the economy, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds Americans elected President Donald Trump in hopes that he would fight inflation and boost the U.S. economy, but as he approaches his 100th day in office they are giving the Republican poor marks for his handling of both, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows.

Trump's approval rating on the economy plunges. Is that why he caved in to China on tariffs today?

Just 37% approve of Trump's handling of the economy, amid concerns over recession, stock market volatility due to tariffs, and threats against Fed Chair Powell.

So Yes, not the same.

I work at FDA April 1. Stopped after passing through security and badge in for a security officer to call my name that I can work. Many of my colleagues out the door on this blustery morning. Some finding out they were RIFed. Sad day at White Oak Silver Spring MD. This is not ok.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.

Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.
