ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital.

"I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!"

The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck.

Houston, Texas.
Very shallow thinking. What has cost the Dems their “Brand” is their turning away from the economics and jobs of the working class, urban ultra elites like Schumer thinking they can win while ignoring the needs of rural Americans. So easy to say Dems are just to Woke.

Last night, I asked you to turn on your light if you’ve knocked on a door.

Now I’m asking you to sign up for a shift.

Take nothing for granted. We have a future to win.

Sen. Paul is right. These are murders.
Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."
Forest Park in Portland. It was a beautiful day for a run
If you can, buy your beef locally. In Portland we have some great little farms and it’s worth the 40 minutes each way to buy our beef.
"We wanted them to cut the waste, not our hospital," How Democrats handle this moment matters a lot. You can’t lose rural America and working class voters and hope to win elections.
He told us he could shoot someone on the street and no one would stop him. Then SCOTUS said nothing he does in office that he calls official business is illegal. Then he put thugs on the streets to brutalize people. Then he started killing people on the high seas with impunity
You’re a lot more hopeful than me that he and SCOTUS won’t fix it so that he’s still president in 2029
It’s like watching a horror movie. In your head, you’re screaming Don’t step outside! Don’t step outside!
Every governor needs to explicitly make it clear they’re states will do the same @tinakotek.bsky.social

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

This is over the top sadism. And sadism never exists in isolation – it's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

This is chilling. And it doesn't exist anymore except on the Internet.
Hopefully @repdexteror.bsky.social, @mayorkwilson.bsky.social are paying attention to this and will make sure the Proud Boys don’t turn #PeacefulPortland into a city of chaos and violence ravaged by right wing January 6 insurrectionists.
Yesterday, during a stream focused on Portland, host "PatriotRob" on a Proud Boys-affiliated podcast urged viewers to "stand with the fucking Proud Boys" & "beat the shit out of" certain protesters.
Veterans Day is just around the corner on November 11. No doubt Trump will make some show of this holiday. The media should ask him about these arrest.
Our veterans shouldn’t be met with force from their own government for exercising the very rights they risked their lives to protect. I stand with every single veteran standing up and speaking out against Trump's lawlessness.
