“YES: Residents of Takoma Park, Maryland, noticed ICE cars lurking every day in a parking lot. So they showed up early to occupy the space, with coffee, music, conversation, knitting... not leaving ICE a single parking space. ICE stopped coming.” I. S. Democratic Socialists

Why is it always the “radical left”? it’s really the Rational Progressives, but I guess that’s not scary enough.
If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

Regarding Trump's disgusting comments about Rob Reiner. Trump is mad because he knows people will not be sad about his death. It will be like the other stock trader’s reaction to Scrooge’s death. There will not be any tenderness regarding his death like there was for Tiny Tim and Rob Reiner.

Apparently it wasn’t ISIS but actually one of Abu Mohammad al-Julani’s own HTS fighters. Yes, he’s the terrorist recently welcomed into the White House. Don’t worry they’ll bomb Syria anyway, why stop now.

How convenient. The gunman was killed.
Breaking : Three U.S. military personnel — two Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter — were killed on Saturday by a suspected Islamic State attacker in Syria.
CENTCOM says 'ambush' carried out by a 'lone ISIS gunman' who was killed in the incident.

It is not certain if the gunman acted on behalf of ISIS or on orders from Syrian authorities. Many Syrian security forces are “former” ISIS fighters. The US will not stop to worry about the nuance and just use it as an excuse to start another war.
"The attack occurred as the soldiers were conducting a key leader engagement."

Military sources in Palmyra tell me: during the lunch meeting,

A member of the internal security service, a former ISIS member (or apparently not former), shot them.

My heart breaks for Brown University. Students should only have to worry about studying for finals right now, not hiding from gunfire.
We’re monitoring a shooting at Brown University, which comes on the second day of final exams. Students, faculty, and staff are living in fear tonight as yet another act of gun violence shakes our communities.

This is part of this administration’s pattern. Eliminate oversight so it can break laws with impunity. They did this with the DoD firing JAGs and elsewhere reducing IGs. Plus skipping oversight entirely to demolish the East Wing.
DHS oversight offices have gone from over 150 employees to 9. For #ICE civil rights abuses, "The main avenue of resort now is public protest and legal action." Our efforts are vital. bit.ly/4or5UbI

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

An unearthed video shows Former Defense Secretary Esper saying #Shit4Brains wanted to shoot protesters. “Can’t you just shoot them?” This is why our military needs the reminder about unlawful orders.

Share this widely.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
