When is corporate media going to start acknowledging that the Trump regime immigration agenda, which is *entirely unlike* what he actually campaigned on in 2024, is nothing more than the *war crime* of collective punishment against U.S. citizens who didn't vote for him that year?

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

And in this moment, this beautiful child would be falling into his mother for comfort but she has been taken.
We are raising a generation of children who are being traumatized by the state, and some of them will grow up angry because their parents were ripped away by force.

Karoline Leavett in her sadistic reading of the Renee Good killing told a reporter:
"You’re pretending like you’re a journalist, but you’re a left-wing activist".
Yeah, and you are pretending to be a press secretary, but you are a propagandist for a fascist regime.
Just end the "briefings".

ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!
ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then detain workers
“Would your mama be proud of you right now?” a bystander said as agents returned at closing time to nab the workers.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.
In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.
