Lesly Rodriguez Gutierrez and her two kids—one of whom has severe disabilities—were kidnapped by ICE last Tuesday. Ms. Gutierrez is a Colombia asylum-seeker. She was arrested after reporting for her check-in at the Tehama St. ICE office.

Lawyers have been unable to locate Gutierrez or her children.

“Nashville, someone in our community needs our voices right now.”

More and more are speaking up for Nashville Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez, grabbed by ICE (in a marked news car) after her coverage of them.

‼️‼️‼️ Renee Good did NOT deserve to have her brains blown out in front of her dog for not complying with armed vigilantes who were terrorizing HER community.

You simply arrest, fine and release.

YOU DO NOT MURDER!
ARREST ICE AGENT ROSS NOW ‼️‼️‼️

On some level it's an odds game. But it's essentially a guarantee that you win with vaccines.

A quick google search says 160 K-12 schools on bases with another 160 "education" instituted. Nice memory.

I think the old standard was "resources to fight two wars." The new one seems to be we need resources to fight infinite military raids and wars.

My problem is they remember me and I meet a fraction of the people you do. It's bad when they're excited to see me and I have zero clue. Someone told me I had a memorable face. Not sure if that was a compliment or not.

State Department Bypasses Congress to Send Israel More Than 20,000 Bombs

The classic Bombs vs Butter economics trade-off is now Bombs vs Health Care for the People. We know which Trump & the GOP favor.

These soldiers have lost their lives because of the Epstein files.

Such an idiot I am. The Trump regime is just going down the list of countries that at some point nationalized their oil industry. Venezuela I knew about. I didn't know/remember the CIA and Great Britain helped over throw the democratically elected govt of Iran in 53 when it nationalized.

He's making life more affordable by denying us the ability to buy necessities? I can see them making this Orwellian argument.

Agreed. The elites of the banking world were never going to be held responsible. The system was set up so they could gamble with public money and not held responsible when everything collapsed. My one small point was that at that moment in time the system needed to be bailed out.

He's completely unhinged and giving the MAGA base more and more to deflect from a downward spiral in the economy and a war that really only satisfies his and Hegseth's egos.

Honestly, the bail out for banks was a necessary evil. The entire financial system was on the verge of collapse and with it literally our economy. What really sucked is that what was done to improve the system after the crisis was wiped out by Trump. We're back to buyer beware ethos.

And nothing about how "red" states are stealing tax dollars from the "blue" states? Cleary someone from a different era.

Asking for a country I'm associated with: what do we do when the head of country X is spiraling out of control almost hour by hour?

Oh, I just did. Which is why he's now demanding Iran surrender unconditionally. It would balance out the day in his insane mind.

Live Updates: Trump Says There Will Be ‘No Deal’ as Israel Unleashes Wave of Attacks on Iran

Directly correlated to the loss of 92,000 US job reported this morning. Stream of consciousness tyranny.

Judging by the NYT on-line headlines the last couple of days, this is Israel's war and the US plays a supporting role.

Firing Kristi Noem was a step in the right direction — and it only happened because we all stood up and spoke out to say enough is enough.

But cutting the leaves off a weed doesn’t pull out the root. She was just one piece of Trump’s backwards immigration agenda.

Stephen Miller needs to go.

House Turns Back Bid to Restrict Trump’s War Powers in Iran

By their reasoning, any country with a military and speaks harshly of the US is an imminent threat.

This regime is flexing power thinking no one dares strike back. At some point an equally deranged leader in another country will just say WTF and attack us.
