I saw people dunking on ICE for posting that they found one single supporter in Portland, but she is also missing an arm and apparently standing in front of the letters AI

someone should tell Trump they don't give the Peace Prize to people who blow up boats and murder those on high seas nor to those who deploy military against their own people. NEVER.

People compare the United States' fascism today to Germany's fascism in the 1930s, but it's actually far more shameless and stupid.

The Justice Department won an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James Thursday.

The indictment makes James the second of President Trump’s political foes to be charged in the Eastern District of Virginia.

How much does Fox News pay if you go on one of their shows and claim to be a "Former ANTIFA Member"?

Because I'm ready to spill tea on the Real-Housewives-level shenanigans that go down in the 72-story ANTIFA corporate headquarters. Especially by the lab assistants on the Molotov Cocktail floor.

Premiering now! "Standing Room Only" this week is about how Marjorie Taylor Greene is becoming a major headache for the GOP.

She sucks! We're not confused about that. But Laura Bassett and I have our popcorn out as we cover why this is happening.

Be nice if any single national Democrat promised to hold these fuckwads accountable for malicious prosecution should the wheel ever turn around.

But, whatever. Everybody who opposes Trump will just have to weather this bullshit.

This cannot be allowed to be normalized. The president demanding his perceived opponents be indicted and using his power to ensure it happens is deeply dangerous.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Right before this photo was taken I told Tish James that she was a fucking badass.
Because it’s true.
And it’s also true that Donald Trump is a fucking pussy.

“Though Trump claimed the military was needed to combat daily violence against fed immigration officials, Immergut, a Trump appointee, concluded that Trump’s assessment was “untethered to facts” and failed to satisfy the legal basis to federalize the state’s Natl Guard troops.” RE: OR case, Politico

ICE. IS. ALWAYS. LYING.

Bodycam footage shows ICE agent taunting Marimar Martinez before shooting her 5x in Chicago’s Brighton Park, contradicting federal claims that she drove toward officers.

The footage blows apart DHS’s fabricated story about the shooting.

Perry is now taking on the idea that Trump's decision is not subject to judicial review.

She says 10 USC 12406 permits federalization of guard troops in three instances, "not whenever he determines when one of them is met," Perry says.
