Under a new bill introduced in California’s legislature this week, ICE-Gestapo killers would be banned from working in California law as well as inside the public school system.

Hell yes, I’m all for it, now expand that to all industries.

A man assaulted Representative Ilhan Omar at her town hall, but she responded by dropping an f-bomb. Both sides need to tone things down.

Coming tomorrow, by someone who thinks of themself as a serious person.

"But what can I do? I'm just one person against all of this."

You do one small thing.

Then, you do another small thing...

then another small thing...

and another small thing...

and another...

This is how we win.

Anyone who follows Constitutional due process, or questions tax-financed ICE/CBP to hold them accountable, risks being pushed out.

An FBI agent in MN investigating a civil-rights inquiry into the shooting of #ReneeGood by Jonathan Ross has resigned under pressure.

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"
Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

This can't be "reformed"

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) is planning to fly to Minneapolis tomorrow. Ro Khanna flew in today.

We've been telling Dems to do this last week. You have to be in Minnesota. You have to be with the people. You have to stand next to Walz and Frey.

Coordinated effort, leadership, and pushback.

You won't find @tomsuozzi.bsky.social statement on BS. He has an acct he just prefers X. Do NOT believe his lies. He knew what he was doing. Like many, he thought he could make blueMAGA Dems happy which is his base. Or he thought. He doesn't get to take back his vote, don't take back your opinions.

I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911!

“I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me:
