Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

“We have hope that he will come back home. We’re going to apply pressure from every single angle.”

For nearly three decades, Brother Marwan has been a constant presence in the community. Until ICE came.

Trump's ICE Has Arrested a Pillar of the Dallas Muslim Community. I Grew Up Hearing His Calls for Compassion.

When I heard Marwan Marouf had been swept up in connection with decades-old charitable donations, my mind went to his gentle voice we sometimes had to strain to hear at the mosque.

Elon Musk is the richest man in history. Isn't it weird there are no Elon Musk hospital wings. No Musk libraries. No Elon Musk Schools. Are there any philanthropic causes that have Elon Musk's name on
them? Has he ever helped another human being?
