If you say there are 11m “illegals” in the US, DHS has deported 1.26%. There are 2.7m Federal Employees and this admin has fired 121,000 by their reckoning. 4.48%. They have fucked the lives of their own citizens at a rate 4x higher. (Plus downstream effects) And they are just warming up.
I’m all for deporting criminals who aren’t here legally. That isn’t the issue. The issue is the lack of due process which affects us all. The issue is a child with cancer was taken from their family, their home, and their healthcare. The issue is the glee with which they are doing this.
The top 1% own 40% of stocks, while the bottom 40% of Americans own almost none. Stop measuring the health of the economy by how well the stock market is doing, and start measuring it by how well working families can afford food, housing, healthcare and education.
Rachel Maddow's video of Alex Wagner in Hungary was incredible. The tenacity and enthusiasm of people in the streets is awe-inspiring. Listening to Hungarians implore US citizens to take to the streets and not allow what happened to them under Orban, happen to us under Trump. 🙌
Gerry Connolly announced he is stepping down as ranking member on the Oversight Committee. It's go time. @aoc.bsky.social HAS MORE THAN EARNED THAT SEAT. Democrats must allow the next generation to lead - I don't want to hear one more excuse about it. #TeamAOC

I feel so much better about social security in jeopardy and paying higher taxes and alienating our global allies and deporting citizen toddlers and a crashing stock market and a Chinese-American naval standoff and religious coup now that Donald Trump and Republicans have caught a dozen criminals.
In medieval times, monstrous tyrants would put the decapitated heads on their enemies on pikes. Today since they're being disappeared to die elsewhere, the same types of monsters put photos of them on the lawn of the White House. That's the framing the media should be doing for this.
Look I have a fever so I have no filter but maybe Americans should take a seat with begging Canada to get their shit together. Canada doesn’t need our unsolicited advice. The only thing Americans should be saying to Canada is I’m sorry. They’ve extended us enough patience.
This is a clear violation of The Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits using federal military personnel for civilian law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution. Also, this is your reminder that Republicans in Congress can stop this anytime they want
“We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or to a tyrant or dictator, and we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator We don’t take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we’re willing to die to protect it.”
I just heard about an Ontario couple who has been crossing the border at Buffalo for decades. The last time, CBP asked how they feel about the Trump admin. The wife made a joke about being glad he’s not their president. They are now both banned from coming into the US for three years.
For the third time, Mike Flynn skipped out on a deposition in his own lawsuit against me. I wrote about how it’s just part of the real “Russia hoax” to wage psychological and legal warfare on US citizens to benefit our enemies. Please subscribe. www.mind-war.com/p/russia-rus...
#BlueSkyVets Donald Trump repeatedly claimed he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours or before taking office, a promise he made at least 53 times. However, 100 days into his term, there's been no progress towards that goal. Surprise. Surprise. 🤬 #ProudBlueVets #DemsUnited #DemVoice1
