These *men* showed up at this market and grabbed the owner for no reason dressed in plain clothes with no identification.

They threw him to the ground as a Combat Vet shopping there calls the police on them! There was no warrant and he was a citizen.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Our health insurance premiums are going to go up so high, a lot of people will have to drop their insurance.

ICE is shooting and murdering people. With real bullets. From real guns. If you think they only use rubber bullets or paintballs, no—they are using real guns with real bullets #DefundICE #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

Brett Kavanaugh assures me this is the sort of minor inconvenience that shouldn't disturb anyone.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Local clinics and health care advocates warned that Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act would trigger cuts and closures for Wyoming's rural health care. Barrasso, Lummis, and Hageman voted for it anyway.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

If you believe that teaching about God in public schools will improve people's morality, you first need to explain why it doesn't work in churches.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.

When I was little, probably about the time of this photo, my siblings said I was an ape that they found in the woods. I couldn't have been prouder. Thanks Jane Goodall for showing us how to treat our sibling species and the planet.
