Can't argue with this one.

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.

I’m pretty shocked that the ex-junkie who was cheating on his wife during last year’s presidential campaign lied about vaccines. It’s like you can’t trust anyone with a brain worm anymore.

This guy is honestly so frigging dumb. His brain is mush Wrf is a “friendly plane wave?” 4 year old toddler

Dear Donald: lithium isn’t just for batteries. Thank you for your attention to this matter!💊

He’s been completely manipulated and played, and it’s starting to sink into his deeply damaged brain.

Your country needs you to fight back—now more than ever. And you can do it by telling 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 story here: ofthebrave.org Follow us at @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social.

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

A Trump regime ICE trooper pulled a gun and threaten to kill US civilians in a car as he crossed the street. Meanwhile other regime thugs pepper sprayed and attacked civilians, during an ethnic cleansing operation, at Home Depot in Santa Ana, California. #StopICE

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

It’s okay. People only care about the price of eggs.

Come on, people. Have you no decency? Whose idea was it to glitter bomb ICE? ☠️ 😂

God is DONE with anyone who isn’t emphatically: 1. Anti-war 2. Against sexual harassment Can God get an amen?

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

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.

The United States should not wage war against Iran. Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war. This is a horrific war of choice.

Not “ICE” changing license plates in a back lot. They wouldn’t do that, would they? Maybe the authorities should look into this.

Pray for them. Pray for everyone.

That’s because there are words on it.

It’s the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon.

THOU SHALT IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP BEFORE HE GETS YOU ALL KILLED.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Impeach the motherfucker.

I can’t fucking believe we’re doing this.

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Trump during the Obama presidency: “He (Obama) will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” The guy who pulled us out of the Iran Nuclear Agreement in 2018 just activated every terrorist sleeper cell worldwide. Stay safe, Americans

We’re in another Middle East war. I’m reflecting on the fact that it’s easy to start a war, difficult to end it. There’s often war optimism, so it’s unlikely to end with bomb strikes today. Lastly, I’m troubled that Trump’s national security team is who we have running this war.

KTLA: “I have no doubt it’s racially motivated.” A US citizen in the parking lot of a Home Depot was tackled to the ground, detained, locked up for 24 hours for filming ICE smashing a man’s window. He plans to sue. (From @keithboykin)
