Trump praised Hitler, has operated concentration camps, is engaged in ethnic cleansing of America, is using troops against innocent citizens, is invading U.S. states, is committing mass murders and acts of war and is overthrowing foreign countries. We know where this is going.

schumer laser-focused on ignoring the softball pitch heading for his bat
Just got this forwarded. Here are the talking points Schumer's team just emailed out to their allies TODAY - this afternoon.
The words "Minnesota" or "ICE" don't appear anywhere here.

The ironic thing here is that they're using the effect from the series finale of Lower Decks where the Cerritos keeps changing classes forms in the anomaly and they exclude the Cerritos!
Here's the new #StarTrek 60th anniversary bumper video that will play before every new episode of the franchise in 2026, beginning with today's #StarfleetAcademy series debut

We recently tested ~ a dozen public statements from a diverse set of Democratic elected officials on the murder of Renee Good and this was the top testing one
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Schumer is worse than fucking useless. We need to primary him and get him out of the Senate (and get rid of Gillibrand in 2030, if the country is still here by then)..
Schumer as a major American metro is being brutally occupied by Trump goons: "The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that's what the American people are demanding"

Yes, voting against ICE funding is the morally right thing to do. But you can be the most heartless political consultant bastard out there - cutting ICE is still the smart play. That Schumer/Jeffries are silent right now is political malpractice (and morally reprehensible, if you care about that).
New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

If you’re worried that “protesters getting out of hand” will give the President a reason to implement martial law in an American city, what do you think is happening now? They’re kidnapping and murdering people and the cops are being sent in to arrest people for noise complaints?

I’m surprised telling them to leave didn’t work but certainly putting residents behind bars like they’re deodorant at the drugstore will surely deflate their spirits

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

Horrible. I can only imagine what they do to Palestinians if they did this to a German woman.
“We were transferred from one prison to another, and during the strip searches I was raped.”
That’s what German journalist Anna Liedtke, who was abducted by Israel from the freedom flotilla boat Conscience, says Israeli soldiers did to her while she was being held in captivity.

The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

These are the last words of the American president who challenged us to go to the Moon. John F. Kennedy was murdered on November 22, 1963. This is the conclusion of the speech he had planned to deliver that evening.
