They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Now do Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s families

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

NEWS: LA Lakers Co-Owner’s Firm Linked to Proposed $80 Million ICE Warehouse Deal in Texas — a massive facility that could detain up to 9,500 people.

The silence from the game broadcast crew when they returned was cowardly and very, very rude. They didn’t even acknowledge the show or the artist. #NFLhalftime

Schultz: We hear over and over again, “Make America Great Again.” They haven’t even tried to make America good.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

OMG!!! Nithya is who we want to be mayor of Los Angeles. I've worked with her personally through @hofoco.org. She's a progressive who actually gives a shit about helping people, not enriching herself. THE DREAM CANDIDATE: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Could they get any worse? They’ll destroy this person and waste the amazing gift of an organ that he was given.

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Measles cases are rising. A newborn baby died from listeria infection. The mother drank raw milk. Listeria can cause miscarriages & still births. Pasteurization was invented for a reason. Misinformation is expensive. MAHA is making us sicker. #ImpeachRFKJr 🧪 www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/new...

This is so upsetting!

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

i forget where i read it but someone suggested that the pool of SC justices should rotate, and be *drawn from the federal judiciary on rotating terms*, with panels chosen at random, rather than permanents seats on the one main high court.

Quote from Trump just minutes ago: "The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting." In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

This is sickening.

Dozens of migrants on Omni ICE flights may have been shackled for more than 73 hours in October and more than 80 hours in December, leaving some elderly deportees too weak to walk. Flight data backs this up. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“People are being told that their names are going on a list, that their personal information is going into a domestic terrorism database, or they’re creating a file on them, all sorts of things that smack of authoritarian regimes that we don’t typically try to emulate,’’ Heiden said Boston Globe

“Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse which is to say he was a healer. He saw someone in danger and ran toward the danger. I can think of no greater honor.”

Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history. “There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.” My latest: www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...

The wrecking ball DOGE swung at the Social Security Administration has now resulted in the data of over 340 million Americans being compromised.

Hours after the Minneapolis shooting, Tim Cook was schmoozing with Trump at the White House—showing that the titans of Silicon Valley are still not distancing themselves from the president, argues Lila Shroff.

An extraordinary paragraph. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

“Even if they showed this on a plane, people would still walk out.”

Republican ex-congressman Trey Gowdy: “Kyle Rittenhouse was made a hero on the right… Alex Pretti’s gun was lawfully being carried. He never brandished it. And we certainly should not be labeling him a domestic terrorist who was going to execute cops.”

trump wants to kill you. whether it’s an ICE agent shooting you, a cancer drug trial being defunded, increased air pollution, or defunding safe streets funding, the one universal thread in all of their policies is that they think the very idea of making the world a better place is a liberal hoax

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I am okay. Thank you for all the well wishes. We are in scary times. Please stay safe and do not let these people silence you. Onwards.

There needs to be bigger punishment than this, but it’s a start

This is how we should honor #AlexPretti … by sharing this video of him with a veteran who had died at the VA Hospital where he worked… @katiecouric.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @rbreich.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/tCa-r...

Huge vigil for Alex Pretti in south Minneapolis right now. Thousands calling for ICE to leave the city. “This is not another damn vigil yall. This is a turning point.”

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.
