Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama) Feels pretty relevant in this moment.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

It should tell us something that OTHER federal law enforcement are now opening their interactions with the public by saying, “I’m not ICE!” In case you were wondering how toxic ICE has become….

Trump thinks he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize anntelnaes.substack.com/p/most-deser...

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

🗣️9 YEAR OLD: “What Trump is doing is frightening — unlike some people we know the meaning of the Declaration of Independence.”

It is without question that Donald J. Trump will be the stupidest person in history to decide whether or not to kill other humans in a new war.

A Native American woman to Border Patrol agents questioning her U.S. citizenship: “We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us!”

1/ 2 Two days ago, a sitting US Senator—who is on Immig subcomm (so DHS sec should have recognized him), who called out his name and ID (so thugs should have backed off), who was in his home state & city, who is son of Mex immigs and is MIT grad—was forced to ground by brownshirts and handcuffed.

“We found this individual possessed a second, far more lethal string of words locked and loaded, and I’m terrified to think how the situation would have shaken out if he’d been able to say even one of them aloud,” said Kristi Noem theonion.com/kristi-...

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

Yeah, shouldn't they be rising up against the national guard taking over the states?

New figures from CBO about how Americans at different income levels are affected by the GOP's Big Beautiful Bill. Topline finding: Richest decile gets about 2% richer. Poorest decile gets about 4% poorer. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

Rep. Lynch: “Trump deported a 10-year-old girl, a U.S. citizen who was recovering from brain cancer…Trump deported another U.S. citizen, a two-year-old toddler, from Fort Lauderdale…Are cities safer now that this ten-year-old girl and this two-year-old toddler are gone?”

What a rotten reality to have a White House occupant who hates so many Americans and hates everything our democratic nation stands for.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

The money being spent on Trump’s ego parade could feed every single homeless veteran in America for more than four months.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

We honor the bravery of those who risked everything on D-Day—and remember why they did. Freedom demands vigilance, then and now. “I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory.”

The Trump regime wants us to believe there’s an emergency that justifies ignoring due process to rid the country of undesirables. The only emergency is their disgraceful, illegal violation of due process and the rule of law.

If you are familiar with any non-profit that does charitable work in Africa, you know this is not an exaggeration.

🚨 DOGE is gutting the VA right in front of us. Thousands of jobs gone. Mental health care slashed. Claims delayed. Vets left waiting—or left behind. This isn’t a budget decision. It’s a betrayal of the people who served. If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.

It really is amazing how bad Trump has been at everything he's ever tried.
