This is an escalation by DHS.

Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.

Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.

The leaders of our armed forces are fighting an illegal war and have broken their oath to the constitution.
They have engaged in a war that cannot be won. It was all started by a criminal president. Now our very survival is threatened. Our sons and daughters will die. Our future in a madmans hands.

Costco CEO says any tariff refunds it gets will flow back to members through 'lower prices and better values' Costco challenges the US government over IEEPA tariffs, with CEO Ron Vachris pledging to pass refund benefits to members.

Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

More importantly,with all due respect to another GOP liar...
.... what will it cost for Trump and his cult leaders to continue to destroy America,and by default,the world in which we live?

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.

We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

This is your general periodic reminder that Congressional Republicans could stop this (gestures at everything) any time. Seriously, any time. In fact, it's their job to check the president. They're shirking their duties.

Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the β€œSAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to β€œsave America”.
