Trump at Ft. Bragg is one of the scariest things I have seen. And a sad and disgusting spectacle for the honorable 82nd Airborne. The commanders would do well to resign.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

Per Jose Olivares on X, here is a likely quid for the CECOT pro quo. Trump is dropping criminal charges against multiple serious MS-13 leaders we are currently trying to prosecute. Many of them are “inconvenient” to Bukele, as they previously admitted to working with him before the truce broke.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

This seems like kind of a big story and it's frustrating that we're still getting "it's time for liberals to consider the lab leak" think pieces. The two best pieces of "evidence" come directly from the Trump Administration and have completely fallen apart under scrutiny!

What the hell are you even doing CNN? Maybe start out with the fact that’s it’s absolutely wrong and an abuse of power beyond measure. The fact Trump even acts like he can, should immediately remove him from office. Start there.
