Americans—and even many Republicans in Congress—don’t like it when an unelected bureaucrat makes huge cuts to the government. But the administration is already repeating its mistake of giving free rein to a nihilist.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

With all the caveats about anonymous posters, this is still staggering, a revelation of what a sliver we see reported across mainstream & alt media combined; and this itself is obviously just a sliver. www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/...

"I will be president for all Americans."

What he was really thinking:

"Unless you live in big cities. You didn't vote for me so fuck off. And Black people? I got nothin' for you, that's for sure. As for Latinos, you have no idea what I have planned for you."

Hey Republicans and MAGA cult members….you’re supposed to be so high on religion…
Is this making us greater?
Is this a legitimate response from these fascist ICE goons?

Trump’s fascist ICE goons love terrorizing people and they are making a game of it and laughing about it

This is not America

Stephen Miller and the Trump regime are deliberately provoking violence in American cities so they can blame it on a vast terrorist conspiracy of “Antifa” and “radical left Democrats.”

The plan is clear—but is it a “false flag” if they tell you?

Is It a “False Flag” If They Tell You?

Historically, people who want to overthrow a government usually try to hide it.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.
