As a veteran I know I’m a patriot, and don’t need to fly a flag in front of my house to prove it. Same goes for my veteran father, brother, and son.

🚨🚨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‼️

Hi, No news organizations should be calling these masked individuals “ICE Agents” until they are able to independently confirm that they are who they purport to be.

It’s heartbreaking to watch a nation that once inspired the world now struggles to hold itself together. This isn’t the America we believed in! As a neighbor, it’s painful to watch the fire spread from a home we once admired. The #DefendersOfDemocracy stands with our American brothers and sisters!

Bove’s confirmation hearing for the 3rd Circuit is on Wednesday. His own former DOJ colleagues say they don’t trust him to be impartial. Watch the video & insist that your senators do too before they vote.

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

So far it appears as if Irans response, similar to after solemani was killed, is an attempt To respond to save face but not escalate.

ICE took a mom of 2, including a breastfeeding infant, at a routine immigration appt. Her husband, a disabled vet, is left to care for their children alone, forced to drive hrs just to see his wife in detention 🤬 We are not deporting criminals 🤬 We are not more safe apnews.com/article/ice-...

We are now in the infamous "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" swaggering stage of successfully provoking a country in the Middle East to want to kill Americans.

I keep thinking about our armed service members who are now in a war, led by a Commander-in-Chief who will consider them “losers and suckers” should they become injured or, God forbid, lose their lives in the time ahead. The rest of us good Americans thank you for your service. Godspeed.

Beyond parody.

Well, it worked. The media has moved on.

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."

Exactly

THIS!!!

First Felon’s attack on Iran has pushed this horrid bill right off the news cycle. Just as he planned.

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

A brave 20 year old US citizen that stood up to ICE, Adrian Andrew Martinez, disappeared by the regime. His family currently unable to find him after being kidnapped by regime troopers. His mother: "I have no idea where he's at. I don't know if he's okay. I'm really worried right now." #StopICE

Congress appropriated the money for transportation projects. If Congress wanted to tie it to immigration for some reason they could have, but they didn’t. A Transportation Secretary is not Congress.

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists.

I really think Trump joined Israel’s war with Iran to deflect from the passage of the bill. He has some very strategic people helping him. Do not underestimate them. Stay vigilant and call your senators. They are looking at Tuesday to pass it.

Shumer will send a strongly worded letter.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.
