Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

If you need a break from the daily horrorshow (and it's okay if you do, we will need a break now and then) this is a good place to start

Trump is dying & he knows it but refuses to accept it. Trump cannot comprehend a world without Trump. He has become Ahab, pursing the white whale of his mortality, trying to destroy it before it destroys him. He is out of his mind and will only get worse...

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

1/ The stock market is way overvalued right now and we are approaching the burst of the AI bubble. At this point, the Federal Reserve and the US government are committed to stepping in when things go south (see the 2008 recession)
