It’s obvious that only the most despicable, immoral people are applying for jobs in ICE.

We have lost $$$$ in Nevada County because of a President who hates California and other Democratic states. Next time there is a fire or earthquake and there is no FEMA and no help save you, your family and your house, just remember how you voted. I vote yes on 50!

Wait til Trump finds out how many people that voted for him are marching in the protest. Journalists do your job.

Two years ago, victory could have been achieved through much less catastrophic means. Victory now means Netanyahu at The Hague.

Netanyahu is the definition of arrogance. In a speech to the Israeli people he claims to have “ achieved victory”. What is his idea of victory? Genocide? Completely demolishing the infrastructure of a community? Leaving a starving people in the rubble?

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” is not law—it’s authoritarianism by stealth. When even Reagan’s judges call it a “war zone,” the veil has torn. Power now hides in the dark, unsigned and unaccountable. Democracy doesn’t die in daylight—it’s smothered at midnight. #JudicialCoup #EndTheShadowCourt
