I will not vote to fund DHS & ICE while they are putting Americans in danger, recklessly violating laws and decency, and refusing to be held accountable for or allow any oversight of their actions.

Congress must provide checks and balances to an Administration out of control.

I've increasingly come to view cynicism as the seedbed of totalitarianism, both because it can paralyze the opposition and because it implicitly validates the might-makes-right ethic of the authoritarian.
i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

AFP: "Nothing's changed' in Gaza. Though Israeli strikes have been less intense since the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, bombs still fall every day."

Life is hell for Gazans. Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can take care of her children. And others. ❤️

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.
He’s turned the presidency into the world’s largest ATM machine.

Every bully needs a victim, and the bullies are running the place
At its core, ICE, and really this entire government, are simply Losers Who Are Bothering You

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

ICE: Nah...
The ICE agents literally are accessories to murder.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce.

As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies.

This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

cold-blooded murder by the state.
Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

'She also revealed that Israeli prisons hold a large number of abducted little girls who were kidnapped over social media posts related to Gaza during the genocide.

She said these girls suffer severely inside detention centres.'

Sweet! I love Jorge R. Gutiérrez's work! And Speedy is an icon among hispanic people (he is my PFP after all), so having such a legend direct a movie centered on such an iconic character is a match made in heaven.

Now I am curious, are we having Gabriel Iglesias back as Speedy or someone else?
A Speedy Gonzales animated movie is in the works at Warner Bros

Jorge R. Gutiérrez (‘The Book of Life’) is set to direct.
