ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

People still underestimate the war in Ukraine.
In Mariupol alone, in just three months, the death toll may have exceeded all deaths in Gaza across the entire war — with a far smaller population.
That isn’t war.
That’s genocide.

Russia has effectively annexed Belarus, and is using it in hybrid warfare against NATO.

As Putin pushes boundaries and tests EU resolve, expect to see bigger provocations towards Poland and the Baltic states.

And remember, the attack on Kyiv 4 years ago started from Belarus.

A lot of it is gender. Most of them are men, and most of us sounding the alarm early were women. We were derided as hysterical, crazy, unserious, and lacking the capacity for reason.
It's not just that these professional politics observers somehow failed to spot the obvious rise of American nativist thuggery.

It's how much energy they devoted to arguing the real problem was the volume, tone, and vocabulary of those raising the alarm about it.

“Don’t call us the Gestapo or we’ll have to summarily execute people.”
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."
