This song is about fighting fascism during the Spanish Civil War. It's an anthem for the times we're in.

I agree, a defining moment of our era. What is ICE? This is ICE.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Please don’t say he is not trained. Border Patrol agents do this on the border all the time. Agents at my station used to throw rocks into car windows that sometimes made them crash. They think it us funny. It’s not training in the academy, but in the field.

It’s nice to have an unofficial “Chief of Staff” who likes to travel everywhere with you to provide advice and counsel. bsky.app/profile/patr...

If that's "an army of antifa," you're a bigger snowflake than I thought, Benny!

The really bizarre thing is that this video is being promoted by right-wing operatives on X as an example of Noem supposedly being brave:

BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stares down army of Antifa and a guy in a chicken suit from the rooftop of the
ICE facility here in Portland.
Noem says:
"Hey; Guy in the chicken suit. You can do better. Too bad they are uneducated and ill-informed."
Noem isn't chicken: 🐥

Trump posts that Sen. Blumenthal “should be allowed to speak no longer”

Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” - And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD. The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!

Prosecution of Comey looks headed to a dead end.

"Federal prosecutors ... determined that a central witness in their probe would ... likely prevent them from establishing their case to a jury."

Central witness undermines case against James Comey, prosecutors concluded: Sources

Ex-FBI Director James Comey is set to be arraigned Wednesday, but prosecutors investigating him determined that a central witness would prove "problematic," sources say.

Jeffrey Epstein? Never heard of him.

Mike Johnson sent the GOP on vacation during a shutdown to avoid releasing the Epstein Files.

Now Donald Trump plays dumb (I think) about them.

The coverup is vast and deep.

Release ALL the files.
