Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Another devastating blow for the disability community as this administration cuts almost every employee responsible for administering funding & oversight for IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act).

Education should be a basic human right..and disabled kids are just as deserving.

Sen. Sanders: No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings rally on Oct. 18 is not a hate America rally. It’s a Love America Rally. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in our Constitution, in the American Freedom, and who’s not gonna let you or Trump turn this country into an authoritarian society.

At this point I have to wonder if this demented fucking lunatic actually believes that China pays for the tariffs he levies on them.
"over and above any tariff they are currently paying".

It wouldn't be hard for someone like miller to create that bullshit talking point and convince him it's reality

More tariff policy evolution — via one man’s whim.

Flock Safety and Texas Sheriff Claimed License Plate Search Was for a Missing Person. It Was an Abortion Investigation.

They searched 83,345 cameras to find the woman so they could arrest her and prosecute her self-managed abortion as a potential homicide.

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?!
