Garcia: "Just last night we received about 95,000 photographs from the Epstein estate. We've gone through maybe about 25,000 of them so far ... we will continue to put out more photos in the days and weeks ahead."

β€œICE is just targeting brown people who have an accent, snatching people out of their cars”

Racial profiling is all they do

When the president of the United States says you’ve committed sedition and treason and amplified calls for your execution…

Impeachment now.

My state, Minnesota, is covering the cost of SNAP here because the fed won’t. We don’t want our citizens going hungry. Thank goodness we are a blue state with a Democratic governor.

I remember buying this CD the moment I heard this song in 2004. I was hoping we would learn something from the Bush II presidency, but alas, we jumped right back into the fire like we couldn’t get burned twice.

No fingerprint or DNA tests were conducted in Jeffrey Epstein's cell after his death. Sus AF.

Release the Epstein files. Now.

Echoes of a very dark past.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

WATCH β€” @drjessicaknurick.bsky.social : β€œHere’s a partial list of things Trump is choosing to no longer study β€” food insecurity, gun violence, toxic exposures etc… Just because you don't measure it doesn't mean the problem went away. Censoring science & data collection is scary in a democracy.”

The text states…
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors….

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

I understand, but sometimes those descendants are ashamed of their parent’s actions and help spread the word that their parent’s ideology is wrong (see Ronald Reagan jr.). Remember, some Jan. 6ers were caught because their kids turned them in.

Preserve (better yet improve) the healthcare system, save the CDC and NIH, stop bullying colleges, protect our private data, knock it off with the fascism, etc. . At this point, Trump and most of the administration have committed so many crimes they should all be jailed.

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.

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.

The Republicans want the shutdown so they can fire everyone. I think this goes to confirm that.

Sad times.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95%

So technically, yeah.

Technically kidnapping. In a functioning democracy he could press charges and be protected by the law. (And the first MAGA to show up with their twisted BS β€œwE’rE a REpUblic” gets laughed at and called names - no character space to educate the semi-illiterate)

Not when it’s grape (not an unintentional spelling error).

I noticed. I hated Reagan in real time, not just after it became popular.
