We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.

Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.

One day I hope this will feel outdated.

We’re nowhere near there yet.

I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here:

Let God get this straight.

- In 2019 the Trump admin created a press release for Epstein’s death the day before he died.
- He allegedly died the next day.
- In 2026 the Trump admin released this info from the Epstein files.

Could it be any more obvious?

Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

They want to do everything they can to make sure they never lose power. They're frightened, but not nearly frightened enough. We need to put the true fear of a free people into them as strongly as we can.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Screenshot of an X.com post by Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) quoting an exchange: β€œReporter: The president called you a loser.” It attributes a response to Republican Senator Thom Tillis: β€œI am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.” Below is a CNN hallway scrum video thumbnail of Tillis speaking to reporters. A lower-third reads β€œDEVELOPING STORY” and β€œGOP SEN. TILLIS: β€˜I DON’T HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE’ IN NOEM,” with β€œLIVE” and CNN branding.

After Donations, Trump Administration Revoked Rule Requiring More Nursing Home Staff

SCOOP: Nursing home companies donated $4.8M to Trump's super PAC in Aug-Sept.

Their executives landed a lunch in Aug. with Trump at his NoVa golf club where they asked him to revoke a rule to increase staffing to prevent patient neglect.

His administration revoked the rule a few months later.

ICE murdered RenΓ©e Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

If 2A gun owners don't protest over this murder in Minneapolis we know what their whole deal has always been...and it's not about gun rights.

I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.

I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.

Impeach and remove Trumpβ€”now.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. 

The thugs wrestled him to the ground.  They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times.  They murdered him.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Today, Jack Smith explained he had enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump tried to overturn the election illegally, tried to get fake electors, and in a separate case, stole classified documents and tried to hide them.

America has two major parties:

One party exists to serve the demented whims of our Nazi Pedophile Mad King.

One party isn’t sure whether to fund his lawless goons who are shooting legal observers in the face.

We need to end the two party system.

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency.

Any elected Democrat who wants ICE to exist is outside the mainstream of their party and the people they purport to represent.
