They're fucking pedophiles ICE

They defied congressional subpoenas and suffered zero consequences.

"An agent came to my side and said, "You are under arrest." I just held my hands in the air and I waited for instruction... At one point, one said to my friend: “You need to stop. You need to stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead.” www.wired.com/story/how-ic...

Why are US debt securities suddenly collapsing? Around the world people are coming to grips with the fact that the man vested with dictatorial and absolute power in America is criminally insane.

What's remarkable is not just that Trump is so loathsome and narcissistic that he doesn't care when an innocent woman is killed in a protest unless and until he finds out that her dad was a fan of his ... it's that he's so disregulated he *can't help but say so out loud*.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

A “peace board” where nations must pay $1B for a seat isn’t diplomacy — it’s extortion dressed up as foreign policy. Turning global stability into a pay‑to‑play scheme is reckless, corrupt, and dangerous.

Just in case someone doesn’t know it, Greg Bovino has major short man syndrome. This wonderful resister gives him shit for being a little shit in Minnesota. Great job! #FuckICE #FuckGregBovino #Minnesota

They nearly killed this woman. Then they went on national TV and tried to smear her.

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

#Pinks #ProudBlue The trump Regime’s new Nazi slogan. “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage.” I don’t care who thinks I’m being dramatic! Trump is America’s Hitler! Are the Republicans in Congress okay with this?!? Wtf!! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Newly available videos and existing footage synchronized and assessed by The New York Times provide a millisecond-by-millisecond look at the killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Watch our visual investigation.

abolish ice accept no substitute

This is not the language of the government of a free country.

They know they are producing these images and want to be. Again, either they want to escalate violence or they do not understand humans or both.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

Not sure but ICE might have killed someone else just now

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

This happened, and I missed it. These two kids were pulled over and ‘detained,’ and after proving they were citizens, ICE assaulted them after discovering they were being recorded. #Pinks #FuckICE #ProudBlue #Resist

“Grok is generating at least one non-consensual sexual image every minute”

Sickening — the White House has put up a site about 1/6 painting himself as a hero and Pelosi, The Capitol Police, and Mike Pence as the villains. An attempt to rewrite history before our eyes. www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

Five years ago.

To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead. --Thomas Paine Just like arguing with a Republican who still supports Trump.

Netanyahu moves forward with plans to annex all of Gaza. “Culture Minister Miki Zohar, of the ruling Likud party, says Gaza belongs to Israel, and that Palestinians in the territory are 'guests' whom Israel is merely allowing to live there for now” but may well expel.

• He deported immigrants to a UN-human rights- condemned El Salvador’s CECOT state-sponsored prison without due process. No consequences • He had ripped healthcare away from millions. No consequences • He is responsible for the longest government shutdown in history. No consequences

This is what happens when the useful idiot becomes president.

Both of the homes Trump claimed as principal residences in the ’90s were used as investment properties and rented out, according to an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario he’s pointed to as evidence of fraud.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

And here I thought it was the government was supposed to “perform for all people.”

Don't forget the best part...

And 1000’s of pages of financial documents

NEW: Jan 6 police heroes file new motion defending their lawsuit which seeks court order for Architect of Capitol to finally hang the January 6th plaque honoring officers Law required plaque to be hung by 2023 It hasn't been GOP leaders won't see if/when it'll happen (MORE)

Shout out to Ron Wydn. Thank you. Yrump being chummy w Russia and ignoring our allies is making mor and more sense now. Impeach Donald J. Trump.

Hello? This is the SAME event, just a different photo from different angle! Look at lights, clothes, positions.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Pediatric phalloplasty is something that takes place when there is severe genital injury or a congenital condition. I have not been able to find a single report of phalloplasty performed on a transgender minor. This is grotesque fear-mongering.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

DonOLD Trump may fall asleep while spewing his usual hate and bigotry tonight. According to one source, Thom Hartmann, it is suggested he has early Alzheimer’s Disease, did his brain MRI show anything like brain damage. #SleepyTrump #TrumpIsBrainDamaged #DV1 #ProudBlue

"I defected from a totalitarian regime, and like hell am I going to be cowed again," & "I'm pissed off as hell about people capitulating to Trump" She warns that people voting for such leaders are choosing "the same ball of wax" she fled, where figures dictate life, rights, & feelings. Thread 1/5🧵

Books about “Asian wife sharing.” Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving “ladyboys.” That’s what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth. What came next was even wilder.
