Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

The refusal to honor the will of the people in Arizona is another example of treason committed by the Republican Party.

Speaker Mike Johnson must immediately confirm Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva so the world finally knows who is in the Epstein files, regardless of who they are!

Playing this on repeat to get us through.

Hours after Trump’s FBI opened an investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James, she appeared at a town hall with a powerful message for the resistance.

Perry cites other fed prosecutions/lawsuits in Chicago and says "in the last 48 hours, in four separate unrelated legal decision from different neutral parties, they all cast significant doubt on DHS' credibility and assessment of what is happening on the streets of Chicago."

Popped over to Instagram and came across this Friar/clergyman and I’m little taken aback by his response just because I’ve never seen so many seminaries speak out so clearly and publicly against anyone in government. He calls TFG out on most every thing leaving with “God help us all”

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Early this year, President Trump signed executive orders withdrawing the U.S. from the WHO, the Paris climate accord, and international tax agreements. These decisions reflect a shift away from multilateral engagement and stand in contrast to Alfred Nobel’s vision.

Why Trump Is Unlikely to Win the Nobel Peace Prize

The reason is not political bias. His record is a mixed and complex picture, writes Nina Græger of the Peace Research Institute Oslo.
