Turns out DOGE is more than just a fake agency, it’s cuts are fake too. A dog and pony show. Uncover the truth behind the fake ā€œsavingsā€ and the real cost to taxpayers… like… your information. Watch now: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-8YR...

Similarities between ICE & the Gestapo

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ā˜Žļø Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

After three months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, a Filipino green-card holder who had been arrested at Seattle-Tacoma Airport has finally gone home.

The Face of Death!

I always thought mic drops were supposed to happen when closing out a wicked argument, not in the opening paragraph. Today, I learned.

Looks like he's got some plans. Not good ones.

Homeless and living out of your car? Well, can't be that poor, you got a car. What more could someone need to survive?

Got em

Is this why we’ve been seeing so many masked, unidentified ICE agents? As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. DEMS: Hold hearings. Sanctioned or not, we need answers. ā˜Žļø Call your Senators and Reps now: (202) 224-3121

Homeland Security has gone full fascism. This is why also we are seeing them show up with ICE. DHS raided @nadler.house.gov office and arrested one of the aides.

Ok, ok. I fixed it. šŸ¤­šŸ˜…

Needs to be said: As of 2025, the 10 states with the highest poverty rates: 1. Mississippi– 19.3% 2.Louisiana–18.6% 3.New Mexico –18.1% 4.West Virginia–17.0% 5.Kentucky–15.9% 6.Arkansas–15.3% 7.Alabama–15.0% 8.Oklahoma– 14.5% 9.Tennessee–13.5% 10. South Carolina–13.5% Who’d they vote for?

First, mayors. Now, congressional staffers. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Reminder: Joni Ernst is up for reelection

The spurs don't fall far from the bones.

As a protester on January 14th.. never forget you have 2 things that protect you against federal officers injuring you Civil - Bivens Action criminal - 18 USC 242 If they kill or kidnap the penelity can be 20 years to DEATH youtu.be/wjNdaoA8puM?...

When you march for No Kings Day... keep this with you at all times 18 USC 242 is the criminal penelity for any federal official who takes your rights from you youtu.be/9SVjZnpgl5I

Just because they're not YOUR people Doesn't mean they're not PEOPLE

Remember the pandemic that Trump mismanaged? Kids in rural areas sat in fast food parking lots to get WiFi to attend school. Dems passed & Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act for reliable Internet access for everyone. On day one, Trump reversed it.

Reminder: Tesla is a company that has never once posted an organic profit. They are 100% dependent on government handouts to cover expanses and then pretend those public dollars are private profit. There is no investing in a profit less company. There is only gambling that a bigger fool exists.

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. A backdoor defund of public education masked as ā€œchoice.ā€ Hands Off Public Schools

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

I’m going to be super clear. No child should be zip tied. Ever! Fuck ICE for traumatizing children. This is child abuse. Every agent that abuses children this way belongs in prison. There’s no justification for this depraved behavior #UnmaskICE www.tpr.org/border-immig...

ā€œNo! Mis hijos estan en La escuela! (My kids are in school!) Por favor!ā€ Tennessee’s @davidwontshutup.bsky.social on a very difficult video to watch of ICE grabbing a mother outside immigration court in Texas.

In a nutshell:

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

So. . .Leon? Feel like they made this mistake before.
