MTG is sooo close. She misses that she and the GOP did this with their Big F'd Up Bill, and can readily undo it. It means rolling back handouts to billionaires and devoting those funds to everyday Americans.

Illegal arrest from the git go. The drivers license as a Real ID is proof of citizenship. Even if SCOTUS motion of racial profiling as ok for initial encounter, that dissipated upon showing the ID. No basis to "seize" the licence or detain further.

It is pretty clear that is a big reason that they are masked - to remain unidentified. J6'rs and felon, racist right wing militia members trading in bedsheets for fatigues.

How many felons do you think are working for ICE at this point? I definitely think it's a a non-zero number. If they weren't a felon when they started, I suspect many of them are...now.

It is getting to be about time for the combined forces of the CA, OR and IL Natl Guard to be sent to Austin TX to patrol the TX capitol and protect the TX people from the criminal gangsters also known as GOP.

Especially around the Texas Capital. Apparently permission from Texas's governor is not needed.

Stephen Miller is a corrupt loser with a microphone and a Napoleon complex. He’s also basically running the government.

So this guy is basically a Nazi influencer.

So let us be very clear. Trump and his Terrible Toadies bring in fascist influencers to brief Trump on why people who are against fascism are to be treated as terrorists and enemies of the state. This means Trump is fine with a fascist state as the standard. Antifa = anti fascist. Period.

It already crossed that line. The only question remaining is how much worse it can get and how much more it will turn to the autocratic theocracy end of the spectrum. They have sounded like the Oklahoma Board of Education of late.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

Defense attorneys periodically have bona fide crazy clients who demand without any case related connection to "subpoena the president!". For once, there is a case where that subpoena may well make sense: US v. James Comey.

Lincoln was seeking the emancipation of POC. Trump is seeking to imprison POC.

"For the first time since the civil rights era, the president of the United States is sending in troops over the objection of a local state. The big difference between now and the civil rights era is that the president is doing that based on their desire for power only."
