One evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries consoles another evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries for not getting an award for which neither evil man is even remotely deserving.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

That the Nobel Peach Prize was *not* awarded to thirsty Donald Trump makes it wonderful. That it was awarded to a woman makes it even better. That she is from a country Trump slanders makes it even better. That it was awarded for promoting democracy, something Trump undermines, makes it perfection.

Any Trump supporter who still believes he’s “America First” is either very ignorant or in deep denial.

This is traitor s**t. He and Hegseth should be punished as such.

"CBS is no longer independent, but under the tutelage of a conservative billionaire who is putting more than his thumb on the scale."

Kudos to Dan Rather, a 44-year veteran of CBS News, for speaking truth to power.
