AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Jesus placed a child in the midst of his disciples, took him in his arms, and stated, "Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me."
But ICE? kidnapping children.
What is happening right now is demonic. This is evil.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

206 House Democrats voted to shut down DHS today. 7 Democrats voted to fund it.
That’s like 3% of democrats. Easily fixable. No need to abandon the party over 3%.
However, 100% of ICE sucks. Abolish ICE.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Not So Secular Sweden
Sweden used to be one of the most secular countries on earth. But over the past decade things have changed, and Enlightenment rationality seems to be on its way out.

When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"

‘A coup is happening’: A new warning against Trump’s authoritarian slide
In a stark warning, Dr. Jason Stanley says America is entering a dangerous period with President Trump’s growing rhetoric against the so-called “radical left” and “domestic terrorists.” “I think we are facing the moment in which a coup is happening,” Stanley warns. “This is the moment,” he says, and adds that what’s needed now is full-scale, nonviolent resistance.
