South Portland residents are at their wits' end with helicopters circling over the ICE facility

For almost two weeks, helicopters have been circling over the South Waterfront ICE facility. It's gone beyond a mere nuisance for many residents.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

More than three hours in, Pam Bondi has repeatedly refused to answer questions about her involvement in and knowledge of the forced resignation of Erik Siebert, the former U.S. attorney in eastern Virginia.

Siebert was replaced after refusing to prosecute James Comey.

Claire McCaskill was aghast that no republican on the committee spoke up about her horrible behavior in the hearing.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Attention: The U.S. is no longer rated a “full democracy” by many indexes. It is often classified as a “flawed democracy” or “electoral democracy with deficits.”

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation
