An ICE agent has been arrested for putting a woman in a chokehold and causing “serious physical harm”

Police said they had been called to the residence 22 times

It’s time we talk about what kind of men are attracted to being ICE agents

Hint: It’s men who would strangle a woman
ICE agent arrested, held on ‘no bond’ order at prosecutor’s request
Samuel Saxon is charged with felonious assault, strangulation and domestic violence.He pleaded not guilty to all counts.

SCOTUS is taking this case. I do think Melania, Ivanka, Eric, Don jnr and Baron should go first.

Trump and his crowd played on the emotions of many women when they promised free universal IVF. Of course it was a lie. Of course they betrayed them. www.ms.now/news/mike-jo...
Mike Johnson works in secret to strip IVF health coverage from defense bill
The speaker is working behind closed doors to remove a provision from the National Defense Authorization Act that would mandate health coverage for in vitro fertilization for all active duty military.

I consider anyone who does this an obvious criminal. If you're turning a security camera away and you don't own it, that feels like an admission of guilt.
WATCH: An ICE agent pushes away a home security camera as she approaches a house.

This is what a police state looks like.

"Organizers hoped the event would show congregants it’s OK to be near the ICE facility, to stand alongside protestors and bear witness. For many of the vigil attendees, the service was their first time at the facility during active protesting..."

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Marjorie Taylor Greene told me to go back to my country and kicked our then-18-year-old communications director.

And then sent an army of trolls and death threats my way when I called her out.

She doesn’t get to play victim now.
Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she shared with Trump death threat she received that he incited, and his response was "extremely unkind"

Brutally murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary school.

Marjorie Taylor Greene called it fake, for personal political gain.

First time Moms and Dads were broken, there are no words.

There is no forgive and forget here.

The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.

It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.

The Republican Party really only has one core principle now: Everything the government does must either benefit Donald Trump and his allies or punish his enemies.

How were they an immediate threat in attacking the US?

It is a war crime and those men were murdered.
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >
