A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.

“Under the Biden administration, ICE primarily focused on detaining public safety & nat’l security threats. As long as they did not have criminal records, Cubans with I-220As were not taken into custody. That appears to have changed” www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

DOJ now needs an attorney willing to show up in court tomorrow to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. I suggest anyone who asked to do so, respond: "I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."

If you consider the fact that Drumpf killed the immigration/border bill, the “tariffs are to address the border/fentanyl” problem doesn’t hold water. What’s the real motivation?

MAGA may not have ever received the Epstein files, but the Trump administration did just put the prosecutor who prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell on leave!

This is a lie... First of all town halls aren't being held in "arenas" they are being held in churches, schools and community centers. Second, 90% of the time you have to be a resident who lives in the district to register to attend with a valid address.

Rodriguez: They're slashing staff, crushing unions, and selling out the VA for what? So billionaires can make more money while veterans sit on waitlists. Our president was asleep while Moscow was at the wheel. Veterans don't trust him. He’s not one of us.
