Peaceful area. ICE comes in. Their presence attracts protests. ICE reacts violently. Administration cites violence as the justification to send in more troops.

Imagine if we were sincerely trying to address the immigration system legally, humanely, calmly, non-violently. Wow, what a concept.

And started one in HIS OWN COUNTRY‼️

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Push back. Way back.

What an exciting opportunity to learn Spanish before Superbowl. I've seen a few clips from last night's episode of SNL. Good for them, and all they do. I'm glad they are back! There's so much material 😉

No Guard, No Golf, No Excuses—Trump’s Shutdown Implodes As Dems Deliver For Workers, Demand Accountability, and Build Momentum In Virginia open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/...

I'm glad she is dissenting. I'd like it more if it actually made a difference.

Overall, this morning's essay is pretty disgusting in its warm description of "Trump, the sports fan" "Spectator in chief" By Evan Gorelick

The NYT can't even bring itself to say "he cheats" when there is video proof and witness testimony from other players. "Trump considers himself a sportsman. He’s a good golfer — even if he fudges the rules..."

Burning flags isn't the problem. Burning the Constitution is the problem.

The women are living, breathing witnesses. They ARE the files. They ARE the list. Why do we need documents when they are right there, unless you aren't believing them. Listen to them. Hear them. Believe them. Act.

A Chicago citizen confronts the hypocrisy of a fellow Hispanic man working for ICE, shaming him and making a powerful point by asking how his family ended up in the United States.

Are people stunned, numbed, in denial or disbelief?

Donnie now will run to the "Supreme" Court for an "emergency" ruling.

Trying to imagine how fixing the immigration system would work if everybody just operated legally and behaved humanely, calmly and peacefully. The only need I see for agents behaving the way I do is their own personal, sociopathic need to exert power painfully over others.

Love. This.

Pardon power = extortion = silence, $$$, loyalty

The cruelty of this administration continues unabated.

Noem brings war to peace-torn Portland. ICE shows up. People show up to protest ICE. ICE turns things violent. GOP shows video of violence to justify sending more troops.

She is going to be seriously disappointed when the Rapture pulls her downward instead of up.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people. To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

"We had no choice but to open fire on the unarmed woman," said one of the 50 fully armed men covered in masks and tactical gear who nevertheless felt threatened by the individual. "It was her or us. How else could we have solved the situation?"

Because there was no other way to handle the children, right?

Great news, but the chyron at the bottom spells "Oregon" "Oregan."

Trump appears to be creating his own list.

Kindness is something you can teach

Flagrantly breaking the law. Who are the real criminals here?

Chicken suit guy, well done (seriously) www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Lukewarm is better than tepid, right?

The more they ignore him, the more his powerlessness becomes apparent. Keep pushing back.

I find it amusing that anytime I hear someone say "MAGA" I think they're saying "maggot."

He ran his businesses the same way, chaotically, indiscriminately, with shoot-from-the-hip decisions based on who last spoke to him, convinced in his own mind that he was a genius making genius moves.

His stupidity is taking the country down.

We are fast approaching this.

No empathy. No humanity. No remorse. These fuckers are cruel and evil.

Let's see some proof, some evidence of this, "very simple and clear issue" Herr Miller.

It must be so frustrating being an ICE agent. All that disrespect, just because you're violently and indiscriminately throwing people to the ground. No wonder they're mad.

"Left wing" is two words, hyphenated when used as a modifier. "Left-wing terrorists" for example. Others examples would be "gestapo-like", "crazy-ass" or "shit-for-brains" when modifying "Stephen Miller."

I'm against Trump because I'm a human being.

Yes.

🚨🚨🚨 Mamdami is not afraid to face the oppressors despite having been threatened to be deported. Where the hell are our elected leaders?!? People are throwing fits for vet (who have already sacrificed themselves, their families, and their health) to fight for the flag. I expect courage from Dems!

Becoming a *shithole country* was a long-game projection of Trump's.
