Abolish ICE.

Tweet by Robert Reich (@RBReich): “Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the ‘worst of the worst.’ But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.” Below is an image of a police officer on a bicycle overseeing a protest scene at night.

Don’t know who else needs to hear this but it would be good to have a strong showing of American Flags at the rallies on Saturday to combat the GOP talking points that it’s a “hate America” rally!!

Please repost and pass this on to as many as possible!!

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

How on earth are the Young Republicans surprised by this? Haven't they been listening to Trump and Co?

Spent 10 days in Palermo, Sicily. Now awake at 3 AM. Observations: 1) Italians are so helpful + friendly! They hate Trump, but don't blame us. Lots are worried for the US ("There will be civil war maybe, yes?")
2) Food and Wine really are that good!
3) Learned some new words. Trump's a bugiardo.

Fascinating to be in Italy. So far people from Italy, Scotland, Canada and France have expressed their horror, disgust and fear of Trump and the damage he is doing to the US and the world.

Oh, for gods sake.
I wouldn't accept this kind of mean behavior from a third grader.
What a little, pathetic man.

Nothing says "peace deal" like increasing the siege.
sigh
Netanyahu probably agreed to the deal because there are only 5 people alive in Gaza City.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Will the board of peace fall under the department of war?

I hope they turn it into a shelter for unhoused families, with spaces for classes to be held, for art to be made, and for counseling services to be offered.

momshieb.bsky.social @momshieb.bsky.social · 17d

Why?
Why do Trump's handlers let him speak in public?
This man is unfit to hold any public position.

momshieb.bsky.social @momshieb.bsky.social · 17d

Wow, imagine. The entire world begged Donald Trump to lead the Department of Peace to end the war in Gaza, and he humbly agreed, "even though I am very busy". So gracious. So lacking in ego. What would the world do without him?
And the people of Israel "like" Trump, "I don't know why, but they do."

Funny!
My Nana (sicilian) called it "ragu" whether or not there was meat it in. My Napolitano family called it sauce. So I do, too!

I'm so glad you didn't say gravy...
