Thankyou for posting this article. The United States is under siege by our own president and his thugs, and nobody is stopping them. We need the world to know just how bad the situation with ICE has become. This is straight up terrorism, propelled and sanctioned by Trump. This is authoritarianism.

Trump should be charged next. He is also responsible for the deaths of many innocent humans, without due process as a result of his war on immigrants. Trump undoubtedly worships Duterte, as he loves a dictator.

Thankyou for commenting on this, all the way from Orkney. The democracy in the USA continues to fall, at the hands of the hard right.

You mean like Pam Bondi's hate speech? Trump's hate speech? JD Vance's hate speech? Charlie Kirk's hate speech? Or just everyone else's hate speech? Unfuckingbeliecable.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says DOJ will be 'targeting' people who use 'hate speech'

"There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech," the attorney general said in an interview on Katie Miller's podcast, which has received pushback from some on the right.

This is awesome. Breaking away from the incredibly inept, Trump-run, CDC policy of 'Making America Healthy Again,' brings me great hope. Canceling science at the expense of human lives, is it's own form of genocide. We will take care of each other, because we must!

States band together to issue public health guidance after ‘destruction’ of the CDC

By Brenda Goodman, CNN (CNN) — Pledging communication about vaccines that will be “grounded in science, not ideology,” the governors of California, Washington and Oregon announced Wednesday they will ...

OMG. Of all the atrocities that Trump's regime are waging against minorities in America, against any American citizen who won't bend a knee to this man-child, THIS is what conservatives are outraged by?? The logo at a fucking chicken joint?! Trump spoke, they caved.

The reversal by the country-themed restaurant chain comes a day after it tried to reassure customers that its values didn't change in the branding decision.

Kristi Noem is pushing for ICE to buy and operate a fleet of deportation planes, sources say

Former officials say that if ICE owned its own planes, it could double the number of people it deports each month. But it would be costly.

Effing idiots.

She is one gorgeous cat indeed, her whiskers are just stunning! She's also living the good life, with you, post rescue. Thankyou for taking her in off of the streets! I'm going to send this pic of Phoebe to my friend David in Tacoma. He'll be amazed at how much Phoebe & Missy resemble each other. :)

I love her little mustache, too! This is actually the mother of my cat, Miss Maisel, who I adopted from friends in Tacoma. Missy, this beautiful cat that looks so much like your lovely Phoebe, was rescued, pregnant, from the docks in Tacoma. Now she's living the good life. As is our Miss Maisel!
