It's all well and good for Pope Leo to make statements from the Vatican, but man, imagine the power he could wield if he traveled to Chicago and showed the whole world exactly what ICE is doing there... You're the leader of the Catholic church. Go do what Christ would have done.

ICE agents are the scum of the Earth. And since they want to hide their faces, it seems only appropriate to hold each and every one of them accountable for all actions taken by the worst of them.

Acting as judge, jury, and executioner against civilian vessels would lead to war crimes charges with nearly any other country’s leader.

New reporting from the Hill per OMB, furloughed federal workers might NOT receive backpay after this shutdown. The Trump administration is considering withholding all pay for federal employees (except those in Congress and the Whitehouse.)

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

I meant to type specialized forces and it autocorrected. I only meant to say that airborne forces are not typically used for on-the-ground homeland security operations.

A left-leaning judge's home was firebombed in South Carolina yesterday after she ruled against the Trump administration. Not one word about toning down violent rhetoric from Trump or the Whitehouse today. They haven't even mentioned the incident.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Being reported by @hcrichardson.bsky.social. If Trump authorizes special forces to act against the American people, that's game over for this administration.
