Important news, ICUMI. Stay informed.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

Clarence Thomas likens old rulings that protect our rights to trains driven by monkeys.

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals." 1/3

Any man who does this to a woman, has done it many, many times before. Guaranteed. Is sadistic personality disorder a requirement for ICE? Sadism never exists in isolation. It's *always* accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

JUST IN: A federal judge in Vermont has ordered the release of a woman in the US illegally who has applied for a visa as a survivor of human trafficking. She was arrested by ICE on her way to a mandatory "biometrics" appointment as part of that process. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Donald Trump is weaponizing the DOJ against his political opponents. Meanwhile, he's gutting the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section which assists U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country with investigating crooked government officials. "Drain the swamp."

This is what Ice is doing in front of the cameras, imagine what they’re doing when no one is filming

A S.D. professor has now been reinstated-temporarily-after losing his job over a Facebook post about Charlie Kirk. A federal judge ruled his off-campus speech is likely protected by the 1st Amendment. Whether we agree, or don't, with what he said. It doesn't matter. He had a right to express it.

As soon as the governor signs this illegal bill, Missouri will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

. From what I understand, Squad Company 1 was first on the scene at the World Trade Center Towers on 9/11/01. They lost 12 of 27 squad members when the towers collapsed on that day. Brooklyn, New York (Park Slope). #EastCoastKin #photography #NineEleven #SeptemberEleven

The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.

What a day yesterday.Trying to fit too many errands while in town. Another unsettling news cycle. Rushing to make calls from parking lots. The decision to loop by the ponds outside of town was the best. Sandhill Cranes staging for migration. Calmed by the melody of soft purrs and rattling bugles.

Charlie Kirk wasn't killed by political violence. Charlie Kirk was killed by *gun* violence.

Been working on a couple of 'expose the perps' projects - not on here as much as politi-kat-srq for a bit. The Russians are overwhelming...😶 So much of what is pushed by the fool ties directly into his connections.

The Trump Administration is once again failing to do its job — and California is cleaning up their mess. We're deploying state resources to protect the 2,000-year old sequoias on FEDERAL LANDS from the wildfires the federal administration are supposed to handle.

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK

Every blue state needs to immediately pass a law that says law enforcement officers, including ICE, cannot wear masks to hide their faces, and cannot interfere with anyone filming them.

That slimy, disgusting fucker drew a young teen girl. Not a woman. But a teen girl. Maybe a pre-teen. I can't wrap my head around that. He intentionally drew a sexual figure of a child and sent it to his pedophile friend as a little jokey joke for his birthday. It's impossible to comprehend.

An Old Man’s tale! Woods smell after days of near solid rain, Heavenly! Evening, sky opened, sunset in bright oranges, drifting into dark pastels. Morn’ clear, crisp, swirly cirrus. Trees filled, calls, feeding. Osprey fishing! 57ºF headed to 67. Y’all be careful out there!

Trump clearly got booed during the national anthem at the U.S. Open, but ABC “conveniently” cut to commercial when he hit the scoreboard. And why does he salute the anthem like a dictator instead of putting his hand over his chest like every other American?

Once Donald Trump gets the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law – what comes next?
