THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO IMMIGRATION HEARINGS!

Physician Women For Democratic Principles #PWDP @pwdp.bsky.social · Jun 28

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY. This is legit. And yes, ICE is abducting immigrants who are not criminals and are showing up for immigration hearings so they can obtain documentation.

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution”

THAT PART!

Thank you, Judge Perry.

“Hurry up, Lurch — I have to get to my cognitive exam. I was up all night studying.”

“I’m not Lurch, Dad. I’m Eric.”

“How’s your mother, Eric?”

“She’s dead.”

“You should have told me. I could have stuck her in the weeds — I can use the tax deduction.”

“You did that already.”

Pope Leo's first encyclical emphasizes defense of immigrants.

"The Church, like a mother, accompanies those who are walking...She knows that in every rejected migrant, it is Christ himself who knocks at the door of the community."

This is as succinct a statement about the decision our citizens will need to make in the coming 9 days. Many of us are already on record. How many are still convinced or perhaps unaware of what’s happening in the country?
Which side are you on?

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Disrespectful? I would counter that actually busting down a door the way ICE agents do, smashing a car window, or zip-tying children is a lot more "disrespectful" than some guy singing about it.

Sean Duffy says he'll fire the air traffic controllers that call in sick.

Does Sean think there's a pool of fully trained but unemployed controllers ready and eager to fill those seats?

Plugging the vacancies in control towers with Proud Boys ain't gonna solve the problem, Sean.

Racist dog murderer Kristi Noem knows how to expertly humiliate herself daily. It’s pretty clear why the hateful ridiculous piece of shit was banned from all 9 Native American tribes in South Dakota from entering their lands. She should be in jail, not playing cosplay at DHS.

Important discovery fight taking shape in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case.

The question: Can the government assert privilege to avoid handing over documents that may be relevant to a defendant's vindictive prosecution claim?

Abrego's counsel says no.

Here’s a small list of everyone. Trump considers less important than protecting Epstein and his pedophile posse.

All government workers
