I just watched the 60 Minutes CECOT segment. The last time the United States was connected to torture of individuals and systemic prison abuse of this level was Abu Ghraib.
Border crossings may be down, but the end doesn’t justify the means. Someone will eventually be held accountable.
ICE...in its current form...is not a "law enforcement agency" that should exist in any country on earth. Everything about the way they are operating is light-years away from being consistent with what this country is about. We have seen evidence that many of the people employed by ICE are bad news.
As for Folgers Half Caff coffee 22.6 ounces price of 20.49
This is the current price at Harris Teeter. Last time I bought it was before the tariffs went into effect and I paid $11.99. No mater how hard we try, coffee cant be grown in the U.S.
“When Congress passed the Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930, we were told that it would protect America from foreign competition and save jobs in this country—the same line we hear today. The actual result was the Great Depression.”
–Ronald Reagan (1988)
Page 319 of Project 2025: Federal education policy and the Department of Education should be eliminated.
I started posting these on July 4 last year. Lots of other people did, too. We tried to warn of what would happen.
Now, Federal oversight and funding of special education for those children with challenges no longer exists.
Found out last night that the iPhone snooze time can be changed with iOS 26. It's the little things that make me happy.
Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Chicago over the years. This is the Chicago I know. It is NOT the hellhole Trump wants you to think it is.

The VEEP doesn’t give a shit about people killed with no due process, no proof. He doesn’t give a shit about the law. He doesn’t give a shit about life. The people running our country are thugs.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
Walk through any cemetery and you'll see a marked reduction in the number of children's headstones beginning around the 1960's. Why? VACCINES! Have your children vaccinated! Get your own vaccinations!
Two of the chief complaints in the Declaration of Independence were about the King unilaterally setting tariffs and stationing soldiers in American cities to prevent crime and quell protests.
That every American doesn’t know this is another example of the utter failure of our education system.
High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung. -Walter Scott, novelist and poet (15 Aug 1771-1832)
Jake Broe @RealJakeBroe Follow The reason we put high-fructose corn syrup in Coke here in America is to support American corn farmers. You know... farmers in red states that Trump won. Trump can force Coca-Cola to import sugar cane from the tropics to put in our soda, but that then hurts American farmers and helps farmers in Mexico and Brazil. This is the opposite of America First politics but whatever. Trump is desperate to distract you from Jeffrey Epstein. Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump + I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. l'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You'll see. It's just better!
• 1. With a quick Google search you can find that the records/list was sealed by a Judge until after Maxwell's trial. They were not unsealed until January 2024. 2. Biden unlike Trump did not have to control everything & everyone around him, so he was letting the DOJ do their job. 3. No Democrat ran on a platform stating they would release the Epstein files. Is that reasonable enough.
For those wondering why Biden didn’t release the Epstein files.
We have a pair of bats that come out every night at dusk. I so enjoy watching them fly all around the yard chasing their evening meal and taking care of business for us.
cindyh_286 59m Let's not forget that in 2022 Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, withdrew from public life and renounced his royal titles and stipends due to his entanglement in the Epstein Files. Why would he do that if those files didn't really exist?
When Democrats/Liberals regain control, the very first order of business needs to be removing the deadline for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment and immediate publication by the archivist.
The denial of due process by ICE is resulting in US citizens being denied constitutional rights. Dr. Jonathan Caravello was detained during the #Camarillo raids. His lawyer and fellow faculty members have been unable to find him. He is one of many U.S. citizens detained. THIS HAS TO STOP!
Graph showing Gallup has new polling on immigration. Topline findings: -Americans hate Trump's immigration policy (35% approve, 62% disapprove) -Share who say immigration is a "good thing" for the country just hit an all-time high (79%)
The majority of the coin does not support Trump on his immigration policy.
English Nursery Rhyme They hang the man and flog the woman That steal the goose from off the common, But the greater villain loose That steals the common from the goose. The law demands that we atone When we take things we do not own. But leaves the lords and ladies fine Who takes the things that are yours and mine. - circa 1764
The 13th Amendment permits enslavement “as punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.” Trump’s already discussing putting undocumented immigrant detainees in fields & businesses by putting them under the authority of those hiring them calling it owner responsibility.3/3
In the U.S., states control the police powers. However, the Constitution gives immigration powers to the federal government. The BBB includes $170 billion for ICE, more than the FBI, DEA, ATF, Marshal Service, and Bureau of Prisons combined. 2/3
Trumps idea of a “golden age” is a combination of Reconstruction era slave labor and unbridled Gilded Age wealth for him and his cronies. 1/3
In today's news of the ironic, Texas officials are blaming the National Weather Service for faulty forecasting. I couldn't make this up if I tried.
