I don't think we give enough credit to Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney for creating the Department of Homeland Security, using 9/11 as an excuse.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

Body cams for government thugs are a joke obviously but here's my compromise idea: shock collars for government thugs

The idea of sanctioning a country for the misdeeds of its leader is so barbaric. Is it to make the population suffer so much that they depose their leader? When has this happened? Why not impose restrictions that affect the leader directly? Warrants, denial of access to airports, and other actions.

Although #AlexPretti is no longer with us, “We, the People of the #UNITEDStates," will honor his name as we resist & defeat the tyranny of racist "Above the Law" wannabe King #Trump, his corrupt Administration, & prosecute & ABOLISH ICE. May he #RestInPeace. TYVM @everystate.org #BlueCrew

The Trump regime is smearing this man - Alex Pretti - as a “domestic terrorist.” We can’t let them get away with it. Alex Pretti was a patriotic American - far more so than the ICE agent who murdered him on the streets of Minneapolis today. Far more so than Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of them.

I was clicking on stories from The Intercept often enough that I should be paying them. I went to sign up and was confronted with evidence showing that, according to this 'Independent Media', the United States does not have Territories; yet it is a required field to subscribe. Sorry Intercept.

An 11:00 pleasant surprise. St. Thomas, VI, the Atlantic side.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

One step at a time. But if that happens- we refuse to pay federal taxes across the country. They are able to operate because we fund them. They aren’t going to empty their accounts if they aren’t getting something in return. It’s pretty simply…do not comply! Just say no!

There's nothing you can do to convince veterans who support Trump they're not supporting their oath. However, you could go a LONG WAY by not criticizing, shitsplaining, or tone policing those of us who are and will. With our lives if necessary. Taking lives if necessary.

The classy move would have been to give Machado the FIFA Peace Prize in return.

My grandfather gave me his bowling trophy, and now I'm the league champion.

I honestly thought the war against Denmark would come before the war against Minnesota

HW Bush told the people of Iraq that he was going to Baghdad and for them to rise up. They did, and Bush stopped short of Baghdad. All those who rose up were killed or imprisoned. This is going to happen to Iran. Rise up, we'll help! The opposition will be executed, and power will be cemented.

oh :(

BREAKING: Fox News has confirmed the death toll from the Iran riots is now 27 million and 451% of the victims were babies who were beheaded while crying for Trump to come and liberate them.

Why can't the citizens, who feel stressed and angered by the US government violating the law right before our eyes, be recognized as a Class, and file the largest class action suit in history? I'm not a lawyer.

You know you're getting old when you have to turn your music down to park your car.

They call us Violent Protesters, if we're so damn Violent, why are we the ones being Murdered?

If Democratic voters want a Democratic Party that fights, some are going to have to vote against their current representatives during the primaries. Don’t expect a leopard to change its spots. Look at who their funders are and act accordingly.

Can you see it? #photography #garden #alligatorlizard #wildlife #lizard #plants

Just so I'm understanding this right if Iran shoots protesters our country will have a military response. But when OUR government shoots protesters it's okay and the people deserve it .

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Iran in turmoil, do you think this is spontaneous? More like US CIA involvement. The ugly Americans agitating in other countries politics. It’s even worse when they are attacking its on citizens.

They have still not captured Diosdado Cabello in Venezuela. They have now mobilized police and the military to many of the small, peaceful towns and villages, because Cabello is responsible for organizing protests against the US and the government officials. He did more damage than Maduro.

My new quantum computer is almost working, but every time I get it to solve an equation, it collapses when I try to look at the results.

While baking a cast-iron, habanero, and cheese cornbread, I read the label on my Clabber Girl baking soda, which I have used for years, and saw that it contained bioengineered food. Assuming it's the cornstarch, it's an example of corporate avarice. How much would it cost to use non-GMO cornstarch?

At the US's direction, the Venezuelan government is releasing all political prisoners from the Helicoide. There are still paramilitary and wanted government officials on the loose, and they decided to stir even more shit in the mix. I am happy they are free, but free for what? More chaos.

Keep an eye on the 'colectivos'. A Venezuelan paramilitary group that Maduro has used to suppress protests in the past attempted a coup in Caracas last night. Miraflores had gunfights. The factions in the government are attacking each other. The people are not rising; they are afraid.

The idea in Venezuela is to further starve the Venezuelan people until they agree to do what? Overturn the existing regime? The people did that, and the government chose to ignore the results. The US is ignoring the results because they don't like who was elected. What will satisfy Stephen Miller?

If our leaders can ignore the law, and are paid by the people, why are we forced to obey any laws. Personal income tax needs to be filed by April 15 and they have changed the rules to make it easier for the IRS to penalize us. We should add on the time it takes for the Epstein files to be released.

It's always kind of a crapshoot once the NFL playoffs start. I think this year might be even more interesting because IMO there aren't any super-dominant teams. Virtually every team has flaws.

Diosdado Cabello Remember the name. He's the man who controls Venezuela now. He controls the military. They did not capture him.

I am no longer able to reach friends in Venezuela using WhatsApp.

Take it from a Filipino, even if you despise the current rulers of your country, you will live to regret the day the United States comes in to remove them

TPS for Venezuelans has expired. It was announced as extended, but Kristy Noem cancelled the extension. Now that Maduro is gone, Trump and Miller won't face a fight for an extension.

Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.

'They must be held to account': Federal judge says there's 'substantial evidence' Kristi Noem promoted 'racist' theory to strip immigrants of protected status Source: Law & Crime share.newsbreak.com/gmkzb88y / of course she did

Post a book quote that you love. #booksky #bookchallenge #writers #authors #readers #booklovers

In January 2012, the Hovensa Oil (Hess-Venezuela) refinery closed, and Hovensa declared bankruptcy. Venezuela produces a crude that is described as 'sour/high sulfur'. Hovensa closed when oil was $85/barrel, due to losses. How is anyone going to make it work now? Nobody wants it.

No fentanyl from Venezuela, but it is coming from Iran! Jim Jordan: “Cozying up to China and Iran, which are part of that, certainly does!” No pushback for such bullshit? A year ago, a report deduced that Iran was making chemical weapons using Fentanyl. Next to the missing yellowcake? Abject fail.

But that's different 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 White people will literally do anything but hold white people accountable even when it's their damn job 🤍

The legal system is a Religion. Trying to decide how many devils can dance on the head of a pin. Reading from the exact text, twisting the tail on every word, and constantly narrowing the definition until we need new laws to protect us from the old ones, and High Priests to interpret them for us.

The Federal Court system is penalizing those who whistle-blow about child abuse. $400K for leaking that a pedophile was still around? A confidentiality agreement supersedes illegality and responsibility to warn your community of danger? It's why victims won't name names. youtu.be/iyXB87hSyOI?...
