In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

I published a short and quick primer on how local law enforcement, mostly sheriffs, can collaborate with ICE. I hope it's useful -- I also would love to know what people are seeing in their community.

Like I said last night, most Americans are not already for the full weight of the American government as a fully fascist entity at all.
BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.

Q:  "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"

Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."

He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

We are seeing a new terrifying reality on a daily basis. Trump's DHS mob are killing US citizens, kidnapping kids from their schools and terrorizing hard working immigrants. Call your Senators TODAY and tell them don't fund ICEs terror campaign!

Read this - @normeisen.bsky.social and Tianna Mays’s team is going to depose Elon Musk over his unconstitutional actions.

With the winter Olympics starting today in Italy, US athletes are being asked (by foreign journalists) how they feel about what ICE is doing.

Short answer, they are not happy and are ashamed as we are.

The White House that put Tulsi Gabbard in charge of national intelligence and hired a recent college grad to run counterterrorism has issues with staff vetting, you say? Shiver me timbers and blow me down!
After huffily defending Trump for posting the racist apes video, the White House is now blaming it on an unnamed staffer.

“A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down,” a White House official told Zeteo.
BREAKING: Madman President Promotes Racist Video of the Obamas as Apes

Trump’s policies and actions are fueled by explicit racism and election denial. The Obama-ape video encompasses both, writes @swin24.bsky.social.

This is the end goal of anyone who wants to eliminate "politics" from discourse where they don't deem it "appropriate."

Erasure of history, erasure of current facts.
I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Amid the flagrant ethics violations among SCOTUS justices, a U.S. senator is demanding Justice Jackson be investigated for attending the Grammies. In a year in which she was nominated for one.

To be fair, Blackburn is really dumb. And hyper partisan. And rarely acts in good faith.

Impossible to respect people that allow themselves to be openly robbed on this level. From Congress to the courts to ordinary voters, Americans have become slow, stupid and pathetic -- a citizenry incapable of operating our once-promising experiment with self-governance.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

Haven't seen this angle mentioned, but it's an extraordinary national security risk to have an anonymous "staffer" impersonating the president of the United States, posting racist memes, from his personal accounts, at 10 PM.
