“Ask your Supreme Court Justice which medical procedure is right for you.”

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

"THE END OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AS WE KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING NOW"

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Concerned citizens have turned to the Neighbors app, once used largely to look for lost deliveries, to make public service announcements about ICE raids in their communities.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

Instead of sending expensive American jets to bomb a far away country, can’t we just fix our airports. I am sitting on another delayed flight. But hey there’s always money for war. What a joke.

They are taking money from the poor to hand to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood politics. We must reject the “Big Beautiful” Bullshit.

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

This is quite amazing actually. That he is just unwilling to say "no" is chilling.

Schrödinger's felony.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

fact check.

Gov Gavin Newsom’s TikTok page is 🔥

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

This is how to do it -- highlight those who need the most help.

BREAKING DHS officers have arrested an individual in the allergy attack on Kristi Noem. Noem, apparently made contact with this person, and said she's "never heard of him, or knows nothing about him. DHS have released his name-- Bill O' Rights.

Cruz didn’t just forget Iran’s population. He confessed to a war crime on national TV. The U.S. is bombing Iran right now. No authorization. No oversight. This is how empires operate when accountability is dead.

If the president pisses on the Constitution and dares you to flinch, impeachment isn’t a debate. It’s a duty. Tyrants don’t stop. You remove them—before they finish the job.

Is Tucker actually practicing journalism here? What's up is down these days... 🙄😳

"The People United, Will Never Be Defeated!" chant crowds as they welcome Mayoral Candidate Brad Lander after he was released from ICE custody with charges dismissed.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

That’s exactly what this is about. Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle

I am so disgusted by these fascist thugs in my country right now. How do we stop this?

Not good enough. He needs to resign or be expelled.

👇🏼💯

This is an insurrection.

Way to go Gov!

so like i know brad lander is a candidate for mayor but maybe the headlines should focus on the fact they arrested the guy CURRENTLY IN CHARGE OF NEW YORK CITY’S FINANCES

HAPPENING NOW: New Yorkers are protesting against ICE’s illegal arrest of NYC comptroller Brad Lander.

It sounds like a novel or a sitcom plot... but here we are. 🙄😳

LEOs need reasonable suspicion that a specific person committed a specific crime to detain them for investigation. They need probable cause of same to arrest them pending charges. When they take somebody into custody without either of these things, that’s called kidnapping, and it’s a felony.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

This should be a federal law.

G7 tactics

In case you still had any doubts about those claims of racism.

And we're being called criminals and animals

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.
