I acknowledge I have a social media near-addiction. I could quit, I'd just be bored and buy way more stuff from Amazon. And it's not like Bezos needs my money. So here I am, after leaving Twitter the day Musk bought it.
Again and again and again. Please help report this illegal Hatch Act post as well -

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

Many things can be true at once.

For example, fuck that guy; his poor kids; guns are the problem; escalating political violence is bad for all of us; kindness isn't niceness, remember that.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”

So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…

It was always a lie.

Over on CNN they are reporting on Trump’s ceasefire announcement as if it is a very serious and quite normal announcement rather than unintelligible gibberish.

Someone needs to stand up and say the Emperor has no clothes.

From Justice Sotomayor's dissent: Given its conduct
in these proceedings, the Government’s posture resembles
that of the arsonist who calls 911 to report firefighters for
violating a local noise ordinance

ICE isn't targeting criminals.

They’re arresting nonviolent, law-abiding mothers, fathers, and kids, tearing families apart.

Asylum is a legal path to immigration, but Trump is voiding asylum claims so masked ICE officers can meet mass deportation quotas.

This is not the America I know.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Tonight, many Americans rightfully are fearful about the possibility of escalation. Trump took this decision without consulting Congress or fully explaining to the American people. I worked in the Situation Room and warzones, and here are the questions we need answered. THREAD

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A.

After realizing he’s American, they just slink away.

Their only explanation: “Why were you running?”

Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

It was tense in Maywood and Bell as ICE/CBP and multiple local police agencies confronted protesters and local residents vocalizing their anger at ICE/CBP violently arresting individuals and a protester.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
