This video of a 15 year old girl being violently detained by ICE made the rounds on Friday.

Many people, including DHS, tried to claim it wasn’t recent. It wasn’t ICE. She was a violent criminal.

Illinois Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi is demanding accountability.

I hope he gets it for her.

President Trump is meeting with the President of Argentina instead of meeting with Congressional leaders to end the shutdown and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing.

$20 billion for Argentina, but no $ for Americans' health care?

Trump presidency will be destroyed along with some other high profile Congress people and millionaires, billionaires etc.etc.etc. when the Epstein files are released. NO WAY will this administration release them, it will have to come from a private source if we want it done in a timely fashion.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Then Mamdani will hire better cops to replace the ones who make the choice to leave.

Peter @notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

She apparently has appointed herself THE person who is going to clean up our Constitutions so it aligns with her religious beliefs and the People of Praise, a charismatic Christian covenant community an offshoot of the Catholic Church. Not cool IMO

Pictured below is a little boy in a mans body that didn't get his needs met as a toddler so EQ is very very low:

EQ, or emotional quotient, is a measure of emotional intelligence, which is the ability to identify, understand, and manage your own emotions and those of others.

I think if more people knew what is being pumped out by the conspiracy peeps, their head would explode. Some of it is so out there that to see it as real has to include an insanity diagnosis, but the MAGA's are being consumed by it. There's no reaching them with facts.
