The Trump regime is going to successfully turn so many red states blue. Will he occupy all of them with his Handmaids Getstapo?

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.
Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent โ and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesnโt like.
Gov. Pritzker is right, as per usual.
Every threat, every silenced host, every show pulled under pressure is another cut at the First Amendment.
We, the people, cannot bow to intimidation.
We must fight back with louder voices, bolder truths, and relentless rebellion.

But it didnโt matter. The government was angry, and wanted another liberal scalp.โ

An 82 year old man was taken by ICE at a green card replacement appointment. His family was never informed where he was or how to get ahold of him until he was in a foreign hospital... despite the fact that he was a permanent legal resident of the US. Luis Leon came to the US 38 years ago. He had been tortured in his native Chile by the administration of the dictator Augusto Pinochet. The US gave him political asylum and he came legally to the United States in 1987. Luis built a life here in the US. He worked at a leather manufacturing plant, raised four kids, and eventually retired. Heโs well-loved in his neighborhood in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He likes to garden and fish and do small repairs for the neighbors. In June he lost his wallet, which had his green card in it. No problem. Luis and his wife made an appointment to get it replaced. But when they arrived for the appointment, Luis was handcuffed and taken away, and his wife was held for ten hours until her granddaughter showed up to get her.
His family couldnโt find him for a full month. The immigration detention tracker never showed him as in ICE custody. Immigration officials had no answers they were willing to give, despite multiple calls. The family called local prisons and hospitals and even morgues but couldnโt find anyone who knew where Luis was. A relative in Chile called the family yesterday to let them know that 82-year-old Luis was now in a hospital in Guatemalaโฆ apparently deported to this country by the US government, though ICE still wonโt even confirm that Luis showed up for his green card replacement appointment, let alone that they had him in custody and deported him. Now that the family has found Luis, ICE says they are โinvestigatingโ what happened. Sometimes when I share these stories, people push back and say something like, โIf he was here for all these years, why didnโt he become a citizen.โ Itโs a really weird and ignorant question for a variety of reasons, but more importantly itโs off topic to this post. So before we change subjects to why someone might not get their US citizenship, let me pose a few counter questions: Do you think legal permanent resident of the US should be taken into custody at what should be a normal administrative appointment? Do you think people should be held with no access to lawyers or family? Should permanent legal residents be deported to a country other than their home country and put in a hospital without ever informing family or legal representation? Because thatโs what weโre talking about.
Meanwhile, we have no idea if ICE deported a legal, permanent resident of the United States on purpose or somehow โby accident.โ Certainly since ICEโs tripled quota for arrests theyโve had a lot more โmistakes.โ And Iโm not just talking about the more famous moments, like โadministrative errorsโ that involve illegally deporting someone to El Salvador. We also have things like: * A US marshal being mistakenly detained by ICE. * ICE apologized for detaining US citizens because it caught themโฆ speaking Spanish. * ICE claims assaults against agents had increased between 500-700% but then released statistics that showed โ despite the huge increase in ICE arresting people โ ICEโs own self-reported stats of assaults barely increased at all. Probably because theyโve been arresting people on bogus assault claims and then never charged any of them because it was just an excuse to put bystanders in handcuffs. * ICE accidentally sent a 15 year old to the Everglades Concentration Camp because they didnโt verify his age or identity. Meanwhile, Luis โ a permanent resident of the US who came here legally, had legal status and doesnโt have so much as a parking ticket โ has been taken from his family, kept from legal counsel, deported to a country he has never been from, and put in the hospital. Why? Because he lost his wallet.
PEOPLE OVER QUOTAS!!!!!!!

This is deeply disturbing. These incidents are escalating beyond control, and the brutality of this regime has reached unimaginable levels. It must be stopped.
If you remain indifferent or supportive, you are complicit in the injustice.
Everything Trump touches is a calamity
History will not be kind to so many that bent the knee. The beat downs of others will continue
He even fights with other villains like McConnell Musk and now Rupert Murdoch
Not sure where this all leaves us as a Country but it feels like not a good place
Righties are all "but what if BILL CLINTON was on the island, checkmate" and truly. Y'all. If he is likely guilty of a crime then prosecute his ass. We are not like you
4 seconds in, youโll know where this is headed.๐คฃ
I can confirm the PBS Passport is a very good deal for $5/month or $2.50/month if you do yearly.
Thousands of hours of top notch content. NOVA is great. The new Ken Burns doc on Leonardo da Vinci is excellent.

"The Department of Justice is no longer in the business of justice at all, and has squandered the presumption of regularity it once enjoyed with judges. One of the bulwarks of American civil society is functionally MIA โ a massive blow to state capacity."
