Thanks for bringing those tragic stories to life. Not enough of them see the light of day on corporate, fascist leaning media.

Bottom line is trump and republicans find joy in putting children's lives at risk, they cheer the competent person that they lay off as trump the incompetent felon plays golf most days and thinks he is pope material. trump and GOP applaud the jailing of innocent people in concentration camps. trump revels in the destruction of small businesses as long as bezos kisses his ass daily. It is all grotesque, disgusting, deranged, and dystopian, and it is all trump and maga need in order to live. Without inflicting pain, trump and GOP would not be able to exist. And the worst is yet to come. The people are not prepared and the damage will continue to be be horrendous. trump bragged he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose a vote. Now he can send children to their death using illegal actions and not lose a vote in GOP held congress.

Keep being loud!

Use this spreadsheet to call/email/write any of our representatives as often as possible. Not just your own state reps, reach out to those in other states. Be as loud as you can and share this. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

Talk about the mom in Oklahoma who was home alone with her 3 daughters. American citizens whose home was busted into by ICE ( did not identify themselves) busted up the place, trashed everything, took their phones, computers, and all the cash they had. Made them all stand outside in the rain in their nightclothes and underwear. ICE had the wrong people. These citizens did nothing wrong and they tried to tell ICE and they wouldn’t listen. This administration is a Nazi regime. And we should be going after them every day and night, not with letters, but with everything we have to destroy them.

Infuriating to be subjected to the most ignorant group of "humans" on the planet. They resist the Constitution like nobody's business.

They apparently feel entitled to prevent fulfilment of the Constitution, In this, and many other cases, involves the police powers:

The division of police power in the United States is delineated in the Tenth Amendment , which states that “[t]he powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” That is, in the United States, the federal government does not hold a general police power but may only act where the Constitution enumerates a power. It is the states, then, who hold the general police power. This is a central tenet to the system of federalism , which the U.S. Constitution embodies.

Felon 47 and his adherents are committed to violating the 10th amendment, which is part of our Bill of Rights.

I believe that citizens do not need to understand the intricacies of US law. But I would hope they will be motivated to learn the basics, like the Bill of Rights.

Can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.

What was the alternative? A senile old puppet with auto signature in the hands of the unknown?

It’s impossible to take this buffoon seriously as the president, he’s not there to be the president,”paid for” by weirdos like Elmo and Thiel, he’s in place to steal from Americans, enrich family and “fiends” and to aid and abet billionaires in stealing our country. America isn’t FELON-47’s to “give” to a bunch of bizarre broligarchs to strip and plunder and use as they please!

Not me personally but this raid of I believe they said 20 ICE, HLS & FBI thugs crashed their cowardly bodies thru a door in Oklahoma. A woman & her 3 daughters ordered outside in their underwear while these cruel beasts trashed their home, took everything including their documents & cash. WTF?? Now all 3 of these institutions claim they don’t know anything about this? Actually Kristi didn’t even respond!! I’m beyond furious! They were all citizens for Gods sake! Ranting!!!

Thanks Adam. However, even more depressed than usual by this very sad list. I can’t even pinpoint which item bothered me the most. All so horrible and within such a short time frame. I also really appreciate that in your daily you always include the appropriate news link.
