ICE is the American Gestapo except they don't even ask to see your papers they just grab you and disappear you off to places unknown 😡😢

Children in zip ties 🤨 governor Abbott is all in with Steven Miller's ICE and their UnAmerican cruelty👿👇🏼

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

Yes there are millions of people who buy in to white Christian nationalism and some have shown how to turn it into very profitable businesses, but at its core is ignorance, racism, fear, insecurity, and perversion of the teachings of Jesus.

Ok, now we know. 3% is egregious. (what an idiot)

Context is everything.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.  A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

Your secret is safe with me. 😉

what a joke

If someone shows up with no badge, no name, no ID, no warrant, and their fucking face covered that’s not law enforcement, that’s a goddamn kidnapping. It should be illegal, and the fact that it isn’t already is a terrifying failure of democracy and the law.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

They are arresting Americans in wheelchairs at the Capitol who are voicing support for Medicaid

norwegian tourist claims he was harassed and denied entry into the usa after immigration officers found a meme of jd vance on his phone

This is very, very good & I really should put together an article on it soon. Anything we can do to disentangle from the US is worth doing. This is in addition to agreements with the UK last week, ones that I suspect go much further on the intelligence & cyber fronts. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

In Europe, Donald Trump’s election as President “has been considered a bigger threat to our security than Putin’s invasion of Ukraine,” a former NATO secretary-general said. “That’s embarrassing.”

I know it is easy to get distracted with all the horrors going down every day, but don't forget that yesterday, the bribe-takin' US Supreme Court put its seal of approval on gratuitous human trafficking. These are evil times.

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

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

My sweet 94YO father-in-law fell and broke his hip on Friday. Nurses have taken such good care of him. But he spent 2 days in the ER before they could do surgery on Sunday. Now he is admitted with a bed, in the hallway, just like I was back in November. I wonder how long his hallway stay will be?

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

As a nation, 🇺🇸USA loves to bully others, especially when no American blood need be shed (more sacred than others’ blood). Just you watch them fall into line now behind their wartime President. Then watch them realize they’re maybe going to get more than they bargained for, and think better of it.

Forget about intelligence? Concentrate on stupidity and ignorance and insanity. Lead with losers. Lovely.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Besides everything else... this is an escalation of presidential powers; the attack is not covered by even a loose reading of the Authorization of Military Force after 911. Trump is truly a king.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders response to Trump’s attack on iran

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.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

The stupid convict that occupies the White House still doesn't know how NATO works. It's not a damn Country Club. You don't pay dues. The United States doesn't pay for other countries. A large part of our economy is built around war. We choose to prioritize weapons over food, shelter & healthcare

🤦‍♀️☮️💙✌🏼🌊🐕‍🦺

One of the greatest Canadians ever. The man who started the ball rolling to give us our universal healthcare, although we just call it free healthcare whenever the fuck we need it. He had a thing or two to say on other subjects as well.

Sadly, the weak, compliant reporters in the mainstream media won’t stop. After all, they don’t want to lose “access.”

Since Trump removed MLK, Jr.'s bust from the oval office, this is timely and apropos. "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." – Martin Luther King Jr

I noticed the Confederate Battle Flag flying in front of a fire department in Georgia today. I was sickened by it. I am thinking about going back, taking pictures and sending them to the Governor of Georgia. This is unacceptable coming from public servants.

statement from the Hortmans' two children on how they would like their parents to be remembered:

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

President Obama spoke yesterday about the need for law firms to stand up to Trump. "Presumably, you went into the law because you believe in the law. If you are getting pressure from government saying ignore, fudge, or compromise that commitment. You have to push back."

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*"

It's not just New Brunswick, it's Canada wide. youtu.be/t2B3YLJH5l8?...
