I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

ICE agents also take an Oath to the Constitution and they aren’t following it.

I think there should be a special prosecutor for the 2024 election results. States that overwhelmingly voted for Dem senators but only two votes for Kamala makes zero sense. Am I right?

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

The state of Georgia is as sick as they come forcing a family to keep a dead woman on life support to deliver a baby that may or may not survive at 1 lb. Jesus Christ what is wrong with people?!?

Why can’t countries stay in their own borders and worry about making their citizens happy instead of going after countries they want to control? Jesus, it can’t be that hard.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

I hope the good people of Utah fire him in 2028 - though he should resign now.

When the Trump assassination attempts happened, Democrats were among the first to call out the political violence. But now, that seems to only run one way. That’s how badly Trump has damaged the soul of the Republican Party. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I think Tim Walz should sue this woman and Mike Lee into oblivion. Ruin their lives and take everything they have ever plundered from their constituents

Illegals can’t vote! The gaslighting continues. I’ve been working the polls for 15 years and I’ve never once had an illegal vote. Not once. Ever. Because they can’t.

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.“ —the ever-quotable Constitution in Article II Section 4

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Article II Section IV of the Constitution states: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. We could impeach them all at the same time.

We have plenty of reasons to be in the streets today. But one big one is we’re marching because Rep. Melissa Hortman can’t. We’re sending love to her family, and we’re sending rage toward Washington, D.C.

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!
