The American president ordering the invasion of American cities sounds like a civil war and treason to me, but what do I know.

What a penis. I always appreciated his low budget efforts because it made it feel like you can make a movie if you really really want to but to realize he was just being cheap sucks a fat one. Also of course people care, it's a whole discussion in the world, man.

Real quandary for Rubio: how do you pull your boss out of a meeting with Andy Ngo and other esteemed pro-fascist personages?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio whispers in the ear of President Donald Trump after handing him a note about a Middle East deal saying "Very close. We need you to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first"

Second time they’ve done it to him.

They were on the roof. How a he obstructing them? He wasn’t.

ICE lies every single time they open their mouths. Like the immigrant they murdered in Chicago and the unarmed woman they shot 5 times. The truth came out thanks to reporters.

ICE released a statement after an agent aimed a pepper ball at a priest’s head after he prayed and laughed when he was hit:

“If you are obstructing law enforcement, you can expect to be met with force.”

Jack Jenkins @jackjenkins.me · 1h

A lot going on here, but a religion note: DHS Assistant Sec. Tricia McLaughlin refers to Rev. Black as a "pastor" here — using quotation marks.

It's a notable slight against a faith leader's status, as Black is, in fact, an ordained minister of a church operating within the Presbytery of Chicago.

This footage is from almost a month ago. What this clipped video doesn’t show is that these agitators were blocking an ICE vehicle from leaving the federal facility—impeding operations.

Over and over again, law enforcement ordered these agitators to move off of federal property so the vehicle could move. Law enforcement verbally warned these agitators that they would use force if they did not move and stop impeding operations. They did not comply.

Shortly after, rioters began throwing rocks, bottles and launching fireworks at the law enforcement officers on the roof.

At the time of this incident, this facility held criminal illegal aliens including gang members, drug traffickers, and other violent criminals. Obstructing law enforcement puts officers, detainees and the public at risk. If you are obstructing law enforcement you can expect to be met with force.

And, as an aside, this is the same “pastor” who flipped
@Sec_Noem
and our team the bird when we were there last week.

maybe one of our ostensible news organizations could track down exactly what it is that he's seeing
