Our Low-IQ President Did an Oopsie You won’t believe Trump’s dumbest Iran mistake.

"Six months ago the Navy decommissioned its four Avenger-class minesweepers that had been stationed in Bahrain precisely to deal with Iranian mines.

It gets dumber: Those four final American minesweepers left the theater in mid-January."

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

not getting shot in the face by a government thug after dropping your kid off at a school is a kitchen table issue, probably the most talked about issue at kitchen tables right now honestly

This Minneapolis ICE shooting video has become a political Rorschach test: Some people see a peaceful protester getting murdered, and other people are fascists

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

An anonymous officer was caught on video throwing a woman to the ground during a peaceful protest outside the ICE field office in Durango.

Dozens of protesters remained Tuesday after demonstrating through the night over the detainment of two children and their father on the way to school.

I found this a really illuminating thread on what demonstrations do and why they matter.

October 2, 2025 At about 1:00 on Tuesday morning, federal agents from Border Patrol, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) raided an apartment b...

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

ABOLISH ICE.

What more do Americans need to see?

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding? A.R. Moxon

Our protest at ICE’s Broadview facility last Friday was one of the most harrowing experiences of my life. That’s why we’ll be back this week, too.
