At the Munich Security Conference this weekend, I told a hard truth. There is no ceasefire in Gaza. The assault continues. Palestinians continue to die. And Trump is issuing glossy brochures about fake future Gaza real estate deals instead of working to end the war.

MAGA man pretending to be an ICE thug assaults a McDonald’s manager. Racists are now cosplaying as ICE thugs and harming innocent people, emboldened by the racist and xenophobic agenda of Donald Trump and his puppy killah.

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

This is going to go viral. And look at that badass woman holding her ground. What a kickass chick.
ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.
Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called
"less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched.
Like how we have tens of thousands of kids who have survived school shootings, and a whole generation shaped by active shooter drills.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet
