I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.
We call for a deescalation of tensions from both sides, the murderers and the people being murdered
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Screenshot of post reading: These are not rogue agents. This is an all out assault on American life. ICE is a criminal organization that is entering homes without judicial warrants, detaining witnesses, and killing people. All at the direction of Trump. We must stop funding DHS. There is no other path forward. Responding to post reading: The Tribune also says ICE has transported several witnesses into detention.
We must stop funding DHS.

Abolish or get out of the way.
Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.
If a federal agent tries to assault you, just scream "JOE BIDEN STOLE THE 2020 ELECTION"
It's apparently like an Uno Reverse card. Now *you* get to assault the cops without any penalty. Beat them with a flagpole, use mace or bear spray on them, whatever.
I'm sure the lawyers here will back me up.
As a conservative, I believe in a small, limited federal government that will murder you in cold blood and call you a terrorist if you don't do exactly what they say.
Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP.
They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election.
And now they're all donors to Trump's White House ballroom.
Funny how that works, huh? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbf6BJzpk1E
Please. They'll both get their own shows on CNN.
The fact that not a single member of the Senate Dem caucus has called for Schumer to be replaced shows you how deep the rot is. This includes Sanders and Warren.
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
All Democrats who must acknowledge this reality
US army rolling the red carpet to murderer’s plane. I will never forget this image.
We must as Americans stop arming Israel. And Israelis must bring down Netanyahu. May the memory of Anas Al Sharif and the memories of all who died on October 7 and beyond be for more than a blessing. May their memories pressure us to move beyond the horror of the present to end this war and rebuild
Amen.
We have to keep these Christians away from our children.
Writers: “To make it really clear who the bad guys are, we’re going to make them nazis AND pedophiles.”
Producer: “Is it not enough that they’re nazis?”
Writers: “No.”
I wish I had a child sex trafficking ring to cover up. I'd love a six week vacation.
Anyone wearing a cowboy hat is lying to you.
The NYT should be razed into oblivion.
CBS/Paramount openly bribe Trump because they know that when the political tide turns, current Democratic leadership will do nothing.
A lightly blurred, rainy, nighttime city scene with a dark beige background. In the right foreground is a silhouette of a lone figure in a long coat, underneath an open umbrella. The figure stands at a street corner underneath the stoplight, which is showing a green light in one direction and a red light toward the other. Two dark cars approach the foreground with headlights. No outlines of structures are visible in background, just the lights of a handful of windows and some parking and café signage. Two street lamps. An abstract row of a mass of pedestrians in the background, with just enough detail to suggest they are human figures. The foreground elements are reflected in the rain on the street. Artist name printed in lower left, all caps.

I am the people—the mob—the crowd—the mass.
Do you know that all the great work of the world is done through me?
I am the workingman, the inventor, the maker of the world’s food and clothes.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
Another Parker Pile!
