I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

North Carolina’s Supreme Court allowed a GOP-backed law to take effect after a lower court said it’s “unconstitutional beyond a reasonable doubt.” The law strips the Democratic governor of power over elections and hands it over to a Republican. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

They are trying to force Harvard to admit more conservative students. Pardon me, but that sounds an awful lot like DEI, only DEI for stupid people.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

Watch this. ICE raided an LA elementary school graduation to disappear parents, who were forced to leave their kids behind because the parents didn't have papers but the kids do. Ask yourself what you will do when ICE descends on your community. Prepare for it NOW. No one deserves this.

Trump slashes funding for FEMA and other natural disaster relief programs just in time for things like hurricane season. Trump wants all Americans to suffer, regardless of party affiliation. Why? Because he doesn’t care about you. youtu.be/Y8PQn3OdRj8?...

Elon hitting Trump and the GOP where it hurts👇🏽 Anyone who wants to cut trillions in taxes for the rich while slashing trillions in health care and food assistance for the poor and exploding the deficit is: A) Cruel and B) unserious about caring about the national debt.
