happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

“The reason that ICE agents wear masks is to protect their own identities and protect their own families,” Mr. Johnson said on “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “And in some circumstances, they’ve had a price put on their heads effectively by local officials.”

I need a Top Ten once a day to see what I should be raging about. Nationalizing elections under Trump's regime would make today's list.

Congress — including Susan Collins — can't keep kicking the can down the road on holding ICE accountable for their terrorization of our communities. We need action now.

ICE will rough and terrorize more white people and Trump voters.

This won't go well for Republicans.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

Oz's only real goal is to go after the Armenian community. This regime is all about the perpetuation of violence by majorities against minorities anywhere in the world.

Damn who would have thought that Dr. Oz, an Armenian Genocide denier, would immediately start targeting Armenians once he was given a slice of power.

Oz always sidesteps questions about the Armenian Genocide in Turkey. He's still a citizen there. Now he's starting a propaganda war against Armenians in the US. I guess it's fight or flight now.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.
