I'm a retired high school teacher who has always tried to keep informed. I think our nation is in peril and that we need to protect human rights everywhere in any way we can.

Thank you, Glenn. We are all well aware. 🤣😂

This betrayal of a bill will force the sale of millions of acres of public lands that we share — all to pay for a tax cut for billionaires. op: Martin Heinrich

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

come on, New York City, don't fuck this up

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

History will remember legacy media as the enablers are! They refused to call him out for lying even to this very day...

"According to figures shared with the Cato Institute, as of 6/14 ICE had booked 204,297 individuals into detention since the start of fiscal year 2025. 65% had no criminal record whatsoever. Even among the rest, more than 93% were not convicted of violent offenses." via @migrantinsider.bsky.social

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

This is like asking Jeffrey Epstein to investigate his own island. www.newsweek.com/pam-bondi-as...

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*"

Victor Avila, a 66-year-old legal assistant — and a green card holder for 58 years — was detained after visiting his son, who is a member of the U.S. Air Force.

Maybe if he has another parade it will scare the Iranians enough that we won't have to bomb them?

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

House Republicans voted to kick 16 MILLION people off their healthcare. Today, Senate Republicans proposed BIGGER CUTS to Medicaid, just to fund bigger tax cuts for giant corporations. Call your senator.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Something about a guy who lived, worked, made and lost many fortunes in New York City for 70 odd years trying to vilify cities seems SLIGHTLY opportunistic.

So, Trump's budget would kill more Americans than the Vietnam War. But for the cause of making the poorest poor and the richest slightly richest-er

From a miltiary post on Reddt..... 80 year old vet arrested at the capitol today for protesting against military force used on US citizens.

Seems like the US President would have more important things around the world to worry about right now militarily than a parade. 🤷 Does he know there’s a War in the Mideast? Iran has 90 million people, that’s the largest population being called to War since Russia/WW2. We need a real leader! 🤷 🌎

No tyrants especially cowards who are immoral morons

AOC: "They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding & ripping apart peaceful public spaces, and now they are tackling & arresting US sitting members of Congress, while going on the record & lying about what happened.

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

"A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order directing President Donald Trump to return control of the National Guard to California. The order takes effect at noon Friday. It says the deployment of the Guard was illegal and violated the 10th Amendment and exceeded Trump’s authority."

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out. The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday. Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America. My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/authoritar...

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

I wish whenever Democrats did the boilerplate "Of course I believe that violent or destructive protesters should be arrested," they'd add, "Unlike our president who pardons them if they are beating on cops for him."

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Substance aside, i have long been confused why Jake Tapper gets to be "an objective journalist but with opinions" while others don't. He is the "lead anchor" not an opinion show host. This has been true for years

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.
