If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

This statement from our government is deeply disturbing. Homan said 158 people were arrested during the protests and added, “I said if the hateful rhetoric did not stop, there would be bloodshed and there was.”

There better not be one damn penny of taxpayer dollars spent on Erika Kirk’s show via DOD, nor should the US military be used to promote a partisan political event.

Pam Bondi is extorting the State of Minnesota. She made a threat (ICE will stay) "unless" the State of Minnesota gives her something that she is not legally owed (state voting records).
That's extortion.
Congress is doing nothing. We need to somehow transport these large protest crowds to DC.

This is absurd to put all of those CBP agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti back onto the streets already.
They pose a very real, proven danger to the community.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

A new, activist twist on neighborhood watch is taking shape in Minneapolis and other cities under occupation by federal immigration agents: ICE Watch.
These ICE watchers are passionate, determined, and just about everywhere—and ICE is getting frustrated.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
