Trump and Nazi Noem are not tracking how often their ICE thugs grab US citizens.

ProPublica did.

More than 170 US citizens.

Their tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer.

And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Actor Robert De Niro: “I like what Letitia James is doing. She’s fighting back. She’s saying fuck you. I’m sorry, this is where we are. She’s saying this is it. I will not be taken down by this person. I am not afraid of him. God bless her for that.”

A court ruled in our favor and upheld New York's commonsense gun law requiring background checks on ammunition sales.

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their community. My office will continue to defend our laws and keep New Yorkers safe.

Background check law for ammo will remain in NY state

But I will note that on the bus getting there, there were lots of black folks. They all looked like they were going to or from work out taking the kids somewhere. I always think of Maslow's pyramid - if you're just trying to get by, protesting, and politics in general, do not get to rise to the top.

Chris M. Hughes, MD @cmhughesmd.bsky.social · 1d

There were some, but less than I had hoped. Many more brown people than black.

But, of course, clueless buffoon that he is, he completely misses the metaphor of him dumping s*** on Americans.

The three largest protests in American history all happened under Trump:

No Kings – October 18, 2025
No Kings – June 14, 2025
Women’s March – January 21, 2017

Now, more than ever, the Declaration of Independence is putting us to the test.

Banks is well aware that Trump was president in 2020.
He's counting on the American electorate, half of whom are as dumb as rocks or sound asleep under one to not know or not care.

@SenatorBanks
The 2020 Census was a fraud. The Biden
admin used a shady "privacy" formula that
scrambled the data and miscounted 14
states. It included illegal immigrants and
handed Democrats extra seats. Americans
deserve a fair count and I'm fighting to fix it.

Donald Trump was the President in 2020.

The Berlin, Germany No Kings is over. Word is it was 2-3 times the size of the one in June. Because they know better than anyone how quickly a demented fascist can destroy a country.

Trump's latest moves are looking AWFUL for him as his approval rating NOSEDIVES with low-income voters while at the SAME TIME that rating is RISING for the WEALTHIEST voters, revealing how his economic scam is getting SHATTERED. #JohnIadarola and #JayarJackson break it down
