Why do they always fall back on the same script “paid protesters,” then “Antifa”? It’s a familiar tactic to dismiss real dissent by pretending it’s manufactured. At least yesterday, Bondi finally acknowledged the resistance, something that actually exists in the real world.

The entry to the Mexican restaurant (Don Julio) in my hometown of Forest Lake MN that closed as a result of ICE has become a shrine. Two-thirds of voters in Forest Lake supported Trump in 2024.

GOP politics is decaying into mush along with Trump's brain. Republicans' frontal assault on healthcare affordability and access alone would likely have been enough to ensure a terrible midterm result in November. But this fake "Trump Plan" will be the basis for untold numbers of mocking D ads.
Q: Can you explain how your healthcare plan will affect premiums?
TRUMP: It's a tremendous thing. It's called the great healthcare plan. And we're gonna get tremendous, uh, reductions through, uh, if you look at prescription drugs, they're gonna come down by numbers that have never been seen before

Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia.
It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.

ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!

Yeah it’s well-documented ICE is doing this by now. I honestly had been waiting for them to try it with me. It’s illegal and they have to know they’re being filmed, but they feel like they have total impunity.
They’re doing this to other observers too. Have seen different vids.
The ICE guy I was tailing decided to show me he knows where I live. You can’t really see in the video, but as he drove past my place he reached out the window and pointed at my apartment. Real tough guy

No. The problem has been very specifically one thing: if they move in any kind of detectable force, they pick up a tail within minutes, and then it often grows and grows until you have a dozen cars following two ICE SUVs, making so much noise that the entire neighborhood knows they’re there.
Do you think the general strike announcement spooked their higher ups at all?

Trump left the Maduro regime in place in Venezuela. He has simply used military force to extract oil revenue. This has, by some accounts, been responsible for increasing political repression.
