This video from Minnesota shows an ICE agent drag a female detainee into a porta potty with him
He’s not helping her to the bathroom
He’s taking her somewhere private where there are no cameras
Ask yourselves why
These men sexually abuse, rape & kill
They’re never held responsible

Tim and I discuss the accelerationist authoritarianism of the Trump administration during the past week, from the attacks on the Fed, to Venezuela and Greenland, to the depredations of ICE.
Dems should realize we all need to be resistance liberals now.

I no longer want to hear how illegal or unconstitutional actions are. I don't want to hear how "Trump should stop ICE". I want to hear/read what is being done; how on a daily, even hourly, our legislators, state leaders are going on offense, setting up roadblocks, stopping this insanity.

Trump regime ICE thugs in North Carolina attacked two US citizens for recording them, they were illegally stopped based on the colour of their skin. The regime thugs assaulted them and attempted to steal their phones to erase the evidence.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Trump’s so-called "peace plan" is a blueprint for Russian victory. Forcing Ukraine to surrender any territory under threat is not diplomacy—it’s appeasement that guarantees future conflict. We must not reward Putin’s aggression with Ukrainian land.

Given that today is Veterans Day, I wonder how many families will soon grieve when the Trump regime illegally, and without provocation, attacks Venezuela. Certainly US service members lives will be at risk. What a tragedy that would be.

The MAGA Trump regime is like a kitchen renovation. You put in something cheap, then you realize the doors don't align, the countertop doesn't quite fit, but you make do. Living with it, you realize you just can't handle it anymore and you rip it out and start again, in a better way.
The future!

I get a kick out of the right wing media/Republicans using the term "woke" so freely. It appears they have no clue that it was a term long used within the Black community, originally in a 1930's song by the Folk/Blues artist Lead Belly, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.
