Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing. Politicians who talk about "maintaining order" are complicit in this campaign of terror. It's up to us. Just us.

The first crack in the wall: An ICE agent just quit.

If you’re surprised that NBC edited out the Olympic crowds boos of JD Vance, you don’t know NBC. At all.

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense.

Here's Maja T.'s statement to the court in Budapest before being sentenced to 8 years in prison on flimsy evidence of attacking nazis. It's a heartfelt statement on the importance of solidarity from a gentle fighter. Some very powerful moments here. medium.com/@joseph-k/no...

“I have to wonder what it means when peaceful demonstrations are banned, but not the demonstrations of fascists who pelt us with feces; when the basic idea of a democratic capacity for self-defense is censored and defamed and finds itself on the terror list”
