Apparently the Emperor in Chief is also the "setter" for this team.

The most “screaming internally” messages I get from Republicans are about things like this. Yikes.

It’s not just bad optics, it’s bad photography!

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Letter from the Editor: Readers asked for women’s sports coverage. We listened — and need your help As Portland positions itself as a women's sports capital, we're adding a reporter to cover its cultural and economic impact through a Report for America partnership.

They mean to say, "Looking for journalist to cover women's sports in Portland, Oregon."

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Yes, that does say it all.

‘We have to show up’: Outraged Portlanders gather in the hundreds to protest Border Patrol shootings, immigration enforcement From a downtown march to a last-minute town hall, throngs of people gathered Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

AOC excoriated Vance here.

Let’s see how the American public responds to Vance's “we believe young mothers should be shot in the street” political slogan.

After this week, that line will forever and always be JD's rallying cry.

Thank you to all who are protesting today in memory of #ReneeGood In Newton, there were more than 300 folks, including a good sized contingent from our congregation, the First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton, #MA

He’s right

More than 5,000 people here in Powderhorn Park protesting ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis.

DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.

10 Companies Have Already Made $1 Million as ICE Bounty Hunters. We Found Them. And they stand to make millions more in cash bonuses for surveilling and tracking immigrants in service of ICE’s deporta

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

Renee Good should still be here.

She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth.

She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.

US Border Agents Intentionally Stepped in Front of Moving Vehicles to Justify Shooting at Them An internal review of the US Border Patrol raises serious questions about the agency’s use-of-force policy.
