“Create problem, surrender… declare victory.”

This is how headlines should read if our news media was actually doing their job.

Nightmare blunt rotation.

Uni… are you really a cat?

FREE TO ALL READERS: State Rep. Betsy Fogle, a Democrat, will run for Springfield’s state Senate seat in 2026 when Republican Lincoln Hough terms out. Jack McGee has the scoop. Read it: sgfcitizen.org/government/m...

Betsy Fogle is running to fill SD 30 and I am overjoyed. She's deeply authentic and kind as well as an effective legislator in an era and place where that has become impossible. You can support her here. www.upballot.com/betsy-fogle?...

Iowa will have a Democratic Governor, Senator, and three Democratic Representatives after November of next year mark my words

Hey Iowa, I’m running to be your next Governor.

I’ve watched as Zooey has grown into the most incredible step mom and our son has grown so close to her - he’s like her shadow at times. I love my family so much on this Mother’s Day :)

These aren't law enforcement, these are unprecedented times when deputized militia thugs can kidnap someone like this and no one stops them Here are photos of actual ICE Agents: Often wearing blue, badges visual, consistency in uniforms and gear

Ice/ Police/ Proud Boy gang members? Great Barrington, M.A Last Tuesday. www.berkshireeagle.com/breaking/ice...

The first Democratic governor who sends their state troopers into an ICE field office to free someone ICE has kidnapped is going to be president in four years.

Networks must be more cautious when reporting Trump’s so-called “deals.” His announcements often follow a familiar, deceptive pattern: declare a major breakthrough, only for the details to later reveal that nothing has actually changed. 1/

This can't be legal. It has to stop!

This is authoritarianism

A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT JUST GAVE HIM A PLANE

This is nuts. Trump White House proclaimed on April 28 that it “achieved” “border security.” So there’s no invasion and no emergency. This is just a fascistic power grab.

*Open bribery *Masked armed officials arresting residents without warrants, citizens who try to intervene *Arrests for engaging in non-violent speech *Destruction of government capacities *Massive economic uncertainty and damage *Unprecedented targeting of government power against political enemies

This is not good. State trooper cars should be highly visible and marked. It’s not safe to have unmarked or low visibility vehicles pulling people over, especially in the age of ICE kidnappings. www.kctv5.com/2025/05/09/c...

This Mother’s Day, help mom keep her right to vote.

Remember that these members of Congress were not "protesting" when they were seeking to review the conditions at Delaney Hall They were there in their legal authority as members of Congress. And claiming they assaulted law enforcement and not the other way around is more fascist lies

Beyond the open bribery, it's insane to use a foreign gifted jet as Air Force One from a security standpoint alone.

abolish ice gets my democratic primary vote

Abolish ICE Then prosecute them

Abolish ICE.

This part

80-year-old Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman from the top belt

this guy ran for US Senate in Missouri and placed second to Josh Hawley

The Trump administration is threatening to arrest Congress members who were performing their oversight duties. Targeting elected officials for opposing the president's agenda is straight out of authoritarian playbooks. We won't allow Trump and DHS to intimidate us into submission.

At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE. This is appropriate levels of rage.

I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way. Record it and get in the way.

#IgnoredNoMore The individuals, organizations, & communities part of the People's Movement for Peace and Justice express our support for our sisters in the struggle, mothers searching for their disappeared sons and daughters in Mexico, who are marching this May 10th to demand truth and justice.

Eugenics list.

Eugenics

Rümeysa Öztürk, Tufts student held by Ice, released from Louisiana jail “She has been imprisoned [45] days for simply writing an op-ed that called for human rights and dignity for the people in Palestine.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

a side of the Show Me State the woke establishment deep state media doesn't want you to see:

I spoke at the St Francios Truman Dinner tonight held in Bonne Terre, MO — population 6K. This is the first dinner they have organized since 2018. Almost 100 attended. Rural Democrats are here. We’ve always been here.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Suspending habeas corpus should lead to armed resistance imo

Free Ras Baraka.

NEW: Chaos at the ICE detention centre in New Jersey. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested by the DOJ after Members of Congress (apparently being shoved by agents) attempted to include him on a visit. Baraka has opposed the facility, saying it opened without permits. (🎥 News 12 New Jersey)

Alina Habba tells Fox News that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and is being held in a secret location right now. Martha MacCallum: "Where is he being held?" Habba: 'I'm not going to speak to that right now. He's obviously in New Jersey."

🚨Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested for allegedly trespassing inside an ICE detention center: “Baraka committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings… No one is above the law,” said Alina Habba, the former Trump attorney recently appointed as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of NJ

I once met with a Missouri libertarian who was actively trying to defund public schools, and I asked how that would impact his own children. He has nine. He told me he homeschools them. I said you homeschool them? He said well, my wife… Yeah.
