Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

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...

I dont think enough Americans realize Republicans are gearing up for permanent rule. I dont know if we will get to midterm elections. Even if we do, with gerrymandering, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and violent intimidation, they'll rig the elections for minority rule.

All hands on deck.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

In another step towards fully transforming into MAGA state media, NBC News has officially terminated all of their teams that were specifically dedicated on covering issues that involve LGBTQ+, Black, Latino and Asian Americans.

This isn’t journalism, it’s fascism dipped in hate.

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Illinois is being invaded by Texas.
It’s an act of civil war.

I don’t know any other way to frame this. It’s simply what’s happening.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 18d

I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

The solution to homelessness is not forced institutionalizations.

It’s social supports. Healthcare. Housing. Education. Harm reduction. A universal basic income.

Anyone can become homeless at any time. It’s not a personal failing.

We must fix it together.

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.
