If people started dressing up like ICE agents, the real ones would have to start showing their credentials, because that would cause a lot of confusion. I wonder where the nearest WHITE NATIONALIST clothing store is located?

It was very, very embarrassing. I love them both. Sabalenka put a sock in it.
I've watched a lot of tennis, played a lot of tennis and I gotta say Sabalenka's demeanor and just all around bad sportsmanship today was probably the worst I have ever seen. No excuse. Not the wind or some lame shit that Gauff hit shots off her rim. Own it honey, you lost despite the screaming.

Coco Gauff telling the ball kids “you guys are awesome!” and that of course they can touch the cup. There are different levels of winning; opening space to lift up others is the top.

Rump will always go where the camera's are. I have been saying this for months, he wants these visuals, and LA is chock full of cameras.
These idiots have grossly underestimated Los Angeles and California.
The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through
LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy.
Sorry, *was.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.
Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

he is a thug, and it is all a grift, all of it is theft
The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

AMAZING! As a Jewish person, I 100% SUPPORT this!
But as a New Yorker this also reminds me how TACKY & GAUDY Trump Tower is.

Hundreds of Jewish people and their and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting, “We want justice. You say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and, “Fight Nazis, not students!”
The ICE arrest of Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil has spawned this immediate and ongoing civil disobedience.
