Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

He’s just awful

Nobody is eating the Dogs !!! Funny how all of Trumps scare tactics always fall silent and then just fade away.

It was really just a concept of a parade

Julie is the epitome of the “British” term “twat”

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.

Good questions!

I'm outraged. Are you outraged?

Nice job!

Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler is demanding a congressional investigation after an aide at his Manhattan office was handcuffed and detained by Department of Homeland Security officers in an outrageous incident last week.

ITS A SAD TIME IN THE UNITED STATES RIGHT NOW!

Not been well this week & have been thinking about my value as a disabled (autism+ADHD+PMDD) human & been comparing myself to others (never good). When I feel low I make miniature posies. I’ve been mocked for them before but they lift my mood-I hope this one lifts yours. Maybe a small life is ok…

There’s zero evidence that prayer in schools improves grades, but one study found that kids who were fed in schools scored 17.5% higher test scores on math tests. Make it make sense GOP liars and deceivers with your evil budget. #FoodForThought

Everyone needs to think harder about how to drive attention to this giant Medicaid cut bill Republicans are on the verge of passing — it’s very unpopular, all factions of Democrats oppose it, and yet it’s barely present in the discourse.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

Sunset on Friday 18th December 1908. I have cleaned-up this astounding autochrome photograph of twilight 117 years ago, taken in colour by Julien Gérardin. It is an original colour plate, not colourised.

If only the GOP could read

Lesbian teen brutally beaten unconscious & robbed at McDonalds - LGBTQ Nation ...again...a lesbian attacked for using the women's restroom. It's a huge mistake for anyone to abandon our transgender siblings. The entire LGBTQ+ community is under attack. We're all in this together.

No bailouts for farmers Let them go bankrupt

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states. When we fight, we win.

Now you know he has no respect whatsoever for the military or the veterans who fought for freedom. It will always be about him.

MAKE IT.. MAKE SENSE PLEASE Approved 99 million dollars for a parade. Approved O dollars for for towns leveled by tornados & flooding out

So we’ve got $90 million to throw the parade he wanted, but we don’t have the money to fix North Carolina. Got it!
