"As ICE officers continue to arrest the most violent criminals nationwide"
Any news article, that uses these words isn't a serious news source.
They are arresting innocent people left and right to meet quotas, and they are getting violent ones by accident.
Re-read that last line twice.

This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. 🙃 It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline. COMFORT READ

I fear the next generation of oligarchs are watching this and planning the same thing.
My biggest fear is a Trump who’s not mentally diseased, smart and methodical.

By declaring everything to be an “emergency” Trump and his flying monkeys tap powers available to the presidency in legitimate crises. Normally Congress and SCOTUS would check this overreach but instead they’re complicit in literal war crimes and civil rights violations at an unprecedented scale.
There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.
They are lawless bestial scum.

Good question.
Will someone please ask the 89 million Americans who didn't vote in the last election if they are being affected by anything this administration is doing to the other Americans?

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line:
"and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country..."
No one is safe when a bully is in charge.

Research suggests pesticides are harmful to gut microbes - UPI.com
Pesticides used on commercial farms, and even your backyard flower bed, could be harming the healthy bacteria that live in your gut, researchers said.

It is an article of faith among MAGA that anyone in need is inherently undeserving unless it’s them personally.
About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

This assessment of a leadership style that defers is similar to Chuck Schumer (imo) and can also explain his own abdication of responsibility. It is reflective of the DNC broadly as a reactive rather than proactive party, that even with individual Dems taking a stand the party as a whole doesn't
