Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.
ICE must be abolished.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

In 2002, Jewish Women Watching sent over 3,000 Jewish community leaders a condom affixed to a postcard telling them to be careful about who they're getting in bed with.

Very suspicious timing between the false claims being made, leading to a devaluation of the brand, back peddling on those false claims, followed by a quick purchase at the lower price. Smells a lot like collusion and market manipulation.

Great column by Philly's own @willbunch.bsky.social
The 7 million Americans who took the streets for 'No Kings' made history, and they did something even more important
They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead
