Sen. BLUMENTHAL: This report ought to shock America’s conscience. At least 22 American citizens were treated in a way we would not tolerate for anyone. Our fellow citizens are being abused and mistreated by ICE agents and the United States government.

This DHS post in a fashy font features the sizzle reel of the raid on the Chicago apartment building, set to a cover of “Jesus Walks,” a song by Ye…an artist originally from Chicago who is now best known for his “Christian,” pro-Hitler stance. Very subtle.

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.

Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

Be a housing fan.

Trump says he's expanding the travel ban to 30+ countries, & if a country doesn't have a "stable government," it's on the list. I'm willing to bet all 30+ nations are:
1. Black or brown majority
2. Nations USA has intervened to destabilize their Govt

White supremacy continues to thrive in 2025 USA.

Something very interesting about the Book of Revelations is that in its description of the Four Horsemen, it directly posits that Famine is not some monstrous disease that kills crops or drought or anything, but a merchant overcharging for life's necessities during crisis.

The recent shooting in Washington, D.C., “was horrific, and the perpetrator should be punished to the full extent of the law,” Amanda Frost writes in a guest essay. “But collective punishment is just the sort of bigotry that the nation rejected decades ago.”

Why is it that some medicre white dude like the Nazi tattoo bearing Graham Platner who has NEVER held public office or done anything to show he knows how to govern, a man with a history of sexist & bigoted comments in contention for a Senate seat?

Why does the press give him a pass?

Makes me sad.

For those who thankfully have left Twitter, just know the site under Musk now fully belongs to Nazis and white nationalists.

This the present and future of the GOP btw. White supremacy, misogyny, cruelty & a delight in violence.

It's going to be an ugly rough road ahead but we have the majority.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Someone gave them orders.

Sickening.
There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.

ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.

Why is ICE harassing women?

The thing to notice about the blatant racism amongst Reform people is that it’s from many who have climbed their way to the top positions. It’s candidates and council *leaders*, not just the foot soldiers.

Being a racist is how you succeed in Reform.

A new report from Amnesty International, found that the Everglades detention facility known as Alligator Alcatraz punished detainees in "The Box"—a 2x2 foot outdoor cage where victims are shackled, exposed to sweltering heat and swarms of insects, and denied water in a calculated act of torture.

What it's really about: 300 billion barrels

Venezuela has roughly 17% of the world's known oil reserves, more than 300B barrels, according to the Oil & Gas Journal.
In other words, that's how much oil experts believe could be extracted from the country's territory.

And Trump wants it.
