These artists are taking certain financial losses and severe retribution from the Trump administration to take this noble stand

They are truly heroes who deserve our support
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

ICE raids appear to be 100% responsible for the current housing crunch in south Texas. Indeed, they have brought residential construction to an end.
South Texas homebuilders say ICE arrests have slowed work
More than 380 people attended an impromptu meeting that industry leaders in the Rio Grande Valley hosted to draw attention to the chilling effect ICE arrests have had on construction.

Yet another example of Trump’s “draining the swamp.”
So an ICE supervisor had previous domestic abuse convictions, yet still was a law enforcement officer?

Yet at the state level, a clean background check is mandatory for employment.

Trump emptied the jails straight into employment as his private army.

Of course!
Trump ordered airstrikes on ISIS targets in Nigeria, claiming it was about protecting Christians.

But people on the ground say that narrative doesn’t match reality.

“In Jabo, we see Christians as our brothers. We don’t have religious conflicts, so we weren’t expecting this.”

I think the ICE agents work hard and deserve a nice little Kavanaugh Snack, as a treat
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

🎄 I'm not a religious man, but am a fan of fellow liberal, Jesus Christ.

Dude advocated for the poor, and anybody who needed a hand up. He preached for social justice and equality, and against hypocrisy, greed, and abusive power.

So sure, keep Christ in Christmas & Republicans the hell out of it.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

Avoid driving through flooded roadways, as water depth may be difficult to judge. Mountain travelers should be prepared for chain controls, reduced visibility, and possible road closures. Consider delaying non-essential travel during peak impacts.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
