ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

We are sorely mistaken if we think a majority of Supreme Court justices care more about the rule of law & democracy than their own egos and interests. That's why they'll cede power to an autocrat, to keep all the trappings & prestige of the office. After all, they never pick country over themselves.

This BTW, is not a good answer, b/c Farage is most definitely not describing CRT. Don't let these people get away with their race-baiting frameworks.

There are two very different plans for public schools in New Jersey. One puts students and educators first. The other takes New Jersey backward.

Mikie Sherrill took Jack Ciattarelli to the woodshed in the #NJGov debate tonight (his face says it all).

I had no idea about Ciattarelli’s role in getting people addicted to opioids.

I know it now.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”

Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

Fox News is straight up garbage. Every cable system should allow customers to opt out of paying for this trash.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Brandi Kruse at today's "antifa violence roundtable" at the White House: "This is one of the reasons I recovered from it. By the way, it’s much better to not have TDS. I’m happier, healthier, more successful. I even think I got a little more attractive after I got rid of my Trump Derangement System"
