A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Open letter to our Senators: Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow. We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

If they are truly "only after dangerous criminals" ICE should not be able to lay a hand on ANYONE unless they have a warrant for that person. Random abductions of US citizens should be punishable. ICE should be held accountable for bodily injury, damage to property and loss of life. ICE OUT NOW!

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

How on earth did this uncouth buffoon ever make it to the White House? More baffling, how on earth is he still allowed to continue wrecking the country; economically, socially and politically? The U.S. is sadly unrecognisable!

On this day in 1894, a French Jewish woman was born. She was interned in Drancy with her husband from where, on the 30 May 1944, they were deported to Auschwitz where they perished. One child perished in the Shoah & one survived. Her name was Jeanne Cain Support @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to elect the dumbest, greediest, vindictive person in the world as President.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Wild that there are laws against convicted felons voting for President but not against convicted felons running for President or serving as President.

LOL so DOJ is refusing to release about half of the Epstein documents it has. What an absolute joke.

I will never in my life understand why people think it's acceptable for people to be locked up, maimed, tortured, and possibly killed all because they crossed the border without filling out the appropriate forms or have the right paperwork... That's what it boils down to.

“It was never about immigration…”

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

The Whitehouse.......

#GVerse Yesterday in Chicago, federal agents violently forced a U.S. citizen to the ground and zip-tied her hands after alleging a “threat” witnesses say never happened. This is the violence the #Dems are refusing to fund. Hold the line. No blank checks for abuse. #ICEoffOurStreets

Ilhan Omar: “Nobody should ever have hired Stephen Miller who basically is a copycat of the Nazis, that’s kind of the cruelty that he wants to inflict on people — he should definitely be out for his part in this, definitely should be prosecuted”

Donald Trump has apparently added a framed photo of himself standing with Vladimir Putin to the White House decor, prompting criticism from a senator, members of the media and beyond. What more do Americans need to know to convince them he's not American!

THIS 👇 TOO.......

I keep hearing the same argument from MAGA: "What about all the citizens murdered by illegals". Then get a warrant and go arrest them! Don't patrol the streets terrorizing everyone, arresting children at schools and US citizens because you don't know who to arrest. See the difference?

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

No sitting president should be able to sue the federal government for any financial reason.

With everything going on it’s hard for me NOT to remember the only campaign promise Trump made that he’s trying to keep. “Vote for me and you’ll never have to vote again.”- DJT

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant. The agents committed murder. It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

Just a friendly reminder that this creature was dubbed a hero by republicans after showing up to a protest like this…

Sitting President attempts to steal $10 BILLION from taxpayers. The most corrupt regime of our lifetimes. With no close second. And the Hunter hunters are silent. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

It is day 900 of winter. I am such a wuss and can’t take it. My privilege allows me to whine but seriously don’t think I could make it through the cold if my life was different. I need to stop whining.

ICE murdered Good and Pretti it’s time we refuse to bankroll the system that executed them. Two U.S. citizens were shot and killed by federal immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis this month first Renee Good, and then ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

ALEX PRETTI’S PARENTS: “He was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street — he knew it was wrong. He loved this country." (H/T @katiecouric.bsky.social )

. The people that currently constitute the Democrat Party are incapable of action this harsh. Witness Garland's reluctance, if not refusal to deal with trump and Biden's silence on the subject - all that counts are their lack of results! .

Edith Clarke, the first female electrical engineer in the US, invented a calculator (the Clarke calculator) to solve electric power transmission problems, a precursor to modern smart grid technology. It was patented in 1925. #WomenInSTEM It's International Day of #CleanEnergy!

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

This Board of Peace organization that he purposed at The World Economic Forum is nothing more than an organization to which he will lead to replace the United Nations. He will be the sole leader, controlling the $, and selecting a successor, which will be a family member. Wake up people‼️

Spread the word! ✊

😕

It turns out that when the good guys do have guns they still get shot in the back by Federal thugs.

After a certain point, it's irresponsible to just report what the administration is saying without pointing out that it's a blatant lie. I'm seeing lots of news channels just airing press conferences. Congratulations, you're a disinformation outlet now.

So the right is now saying that carrying a hidden gun legally is justification for the state removing that gun and killing you. After decades of using the opposite argument to support their very existence?

Two former presidents felt compelled to comment publicly

It is almost 1/26/26 and I can’t take the snow or cold anymore. Not sure how I am going to make it two more months!

Hey NRA, are you good with this? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
