Currently just one of the other 99% living in MO. Worked for DHS until retiring. Made aluminum cans for 30 years prior to that. Slava Ukrainiane🇺🇦 We must stand firmly together to have any chance of our grandchildren growing up in a democracy …
One thing I’ll remember most about this time in history is that it could’ve all been stopped, but members of Congress were too fucking spineless to do it

ICE is saying they can enter your home without a warrant.

Just a reminder that the 4th amendment says you can use the 2nd amendment to stop that from happening.

So when ATF asserts the power some day to enter homes to look for illegal firearms you’ll be fine with that too I guess?
Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.

Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.

Grow a spine and vote no.

What are they Hiding?

Everyone needs to start seriously looking at the secrecy of these ICE Detainment Centers. Chris Murphy was just denied access to the center in Tx. At this time they are really starting to look a lot like the concentration camps of old.

Take a minute to watch this. Ask yourself…Is this the America I want my grandchildren to inherit?
I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

The problem isn't Trump. The problem is the US.

When the outside world observes Trump's insane behaviour and his threats against allies, and we at the same time observe that there is no real action from the US public, Congress, the US Supreme Court, or the US. 1/2

Republicans on the Oversight Committee just voted NO on holding Pam Bondi and the DOJ in contempt of Congress for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

So they’re not “protecting kids.” They’re protecting the cover-up.

Wonder how many people that work at Palantir are immigrants. Since the company is based in Europe, are the Americans “really immigrants” ?
“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, esp. those with vocational training,” said Karp. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”

Conservatives don’t react with outrage when Christian immigrants are abused by ICE.

The “back the blue” crowd doesn’t react with outrage when off-duty police officers are racially profiled and abused by ICE.

Sounds about white.

🧵 The "master dealmaker" admin now specializes in legislative self-sabotage—holding government hostage to avoid helping farmers.

Trump said that without U.S. consumers buying their goods, most other countries’ economies would crash. But if those countries dump U.S. dollars, their own consumers would be able to afford those goods. Empty shelves and sky-high prices and interest rates would crash our economy.

In 2025, 32 people died in the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). That figure was the largest in more than 2 decades and tied for the highest number of deaths among ICE’s detainee population ever.

2026 is only 3 weeks old, and at least 6 people have died in ICE custody.

Americans may try to calm themselves today by pretending that the big takeaway from Davos was that Trump ruled out an invasion of Greenland. I doubt the Europeans will be so silly.

They will not be able to unsee the spectacle at Davos.

ICE laughed in his face when he begged them to call his wife to come pick up his 6-year-old little girl.

THEY LEFT HER WANDERING THE STREET, crying out for him: "WHERE'S PAPI?:

His name is Adonay Rodriguez. Adonay is Hebrew for the lord: אֲדֹנָי

Imagine going to court to cover up evidence that you'd tried to overturn democracy

while also covering up the murder of a US citizen in MN

while also breaking the law every day for the last month to cover up child rape.

Entire Democratic congress needs to take this position
This bill does nothing to lower health care costs.

This bill doesn't restrict Trump’s military adventurism in Venezuela and Greenland.

This bill doesn't halt ICE’s dangerous abuses of power and prevent ICE’s chaos in every American city.

I will vote NO on this budget deal.

This is rejection. And you can’t spin numbers this bad.

But Trump isn’t on the ballot in 2026, so Dems need to hang his policies around every Republican’s neck and make them own every single one.
