Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That's a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.

Bill, a U.S. citizen was reportedly struck by a federal vehicle, tased twice, and left handcuffed in the street screaming that his arm was broken.
And your response is that these things wouldn't happen if people just complied?
That's quite a legal philosophy you've developed. Apparently, federal agents are entitled to a presumption of innocence, while the people they injure are presumed to have deserved it.
And since you apparently skipped that lecture in law school, documenting police activity is protected by the First Amendment. Criticizing government misconduct is not obstruction of justice. Neither is a member of Congress demanding accountability.
Actual interference with law enforcement is a different matter. You might appreciate that distinction if you weren't so busy treating criticism as a criminal offense.
You're a United States Attorney, Bill. Your job is to uphold the law, not provide public relations services for people accused of violating it.
"He should have complied" isn't an investigation. It's an excuse.
And a badge isn't a constitutional exemption from accountability.
You’re a sitting member of Congress and you’re encouraging people to obstruct immigration agents enforcing laws enacted by Congress?
Shame on you.
These incidents would be less common if the targets complied with lawful commands. You’re intentionally fanning the flames and increasing danger for the community and officers.
I’m proud of the men and women of law enforcement who risk their lives every day to keep us safe. We will not hesitate to arrest and prosecute anyone who assaults them. 🇺🇸

What the hell is going on? This is horrifying and UN-AMERICAN.
No one should fear being violently attacked by their own government. This is not how professional law enforcement officers are trained to behave.
ICE must be held accountable. No badge puts you above the law.

🇵🇸 3 Americans have been brutally attacked and wounded by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank in the past five days, journalist Jasper Nathaniel told Democracy Now! Monday, despite U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee promising protection in the predominantly American village of Turmus Ayya during a visit six weeks ago.
Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine suffered four broken vertebrae and a broken rib Friday. Palestinian Americans Haitham Tayseer Abdel Jaber, attacked Thursday in Burqa, and Mohammed Sakat, attacked Monday in Turmus Ayya, suffered severe head injuries.

🇵🇸 5 Palestinians, including 2 children, were killed Monday in fresh Israeli strikes across Gaza, despite the ceasefire, Palestinian news outlets and journalists reported. Many others, including several children, were hospitalized with serious injuries.
➤ Two children, Walid Mohammed Shakshak, 13, and Yusuf Salim Abu Ghali, 14, were killed by an Israeli drone in Qizan Abu Rashwan, south of Khan Younis.
➤ Sheikh Mohammed Sha’sha’a, who directed Gaza’s Al-Shafi Quran memorization project, was killed when an Israeli drone struck a displacement tent near Al-Israa Mosque in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. Three others were wounded.
➤ Abdullah Munir Harz was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza City’s Daraj neighborhood, near Al-Tabi’in School.
➤ Tamer Mohammed al-Sabbagh, 33, was killed and 6 others wounded in an Israeli strike on al-Jalaa Street in Gaza City.
Israeli forces also fired on homes and displacement tents and shelled areas of northern and southern Gaza.

The commander of the Israeli military unit likely responsible for killing 5-year-old Hind Rajab is currently in the U.S.
As a party to the Genocide Convention and the Geneva Conventions, our government is obligated to arrest and investigate him for these war crimes and acts of genocide. I stand with @HindRFoundation in calling on the DOJ to follow the law and take action.
🇺🇸🚨 The #HindRajabFoundation has filed an urgent request with the U.S. Department of Justice, demanding the immediate investigation, arrest, and prosecution of Sean Glass, currently present in the United States. Glass commanded the Israeli unit implicated in Hind Rajab's murder. HRF's investigation places the 52nd Battalion—including Glass and his Vampire Empire Company—near her vehicle during the killing. Today, Glass walks free in the U.S.

An asylum seeker from Peru has decribed forced labor and retaliation going on inside Delaney Hall in New Jersey, which is a private, for-profit ICE facility operated by GEO Group.
Martin Soto said people who were detained are being paid as little as $1 per day for difficult labor, facing 12-hour shifts, and being threatened with solitary confinement, loss of family visitation privileges, or lockouts if they refused to work.
Soto was arrested by ICE in February while shopping for diapers for his child and he was released a few weeks ago after 8 months in detention. He helped organize a hunger strike and labor strike while being held.
The New Jersey Department of Labor has certified Soto's U visa application in connection with investigations into labor exploitation. A U visa is reserved for non-citizen victims of qualifying crimes who assist law enforcement in investigating criminal activity.
Concentration camps coercing labor from immigrants through threats of solitary confinement, loss of visitation, or lockouts is some Nazi shit. These corporations like GEO Group prioritize corporate profits over basic human rights.
If this is what they're doing to immigrants today, it's only a matter of time before these monsters bribe our politicians to throw me and you in these concentration camps too just to make a buck.
This gentleman Martin Soto is extremely brave for organizing strikes and coming forward about what's going on. He is more American than all of these gestapo thugs combined.

Approximately 12,000 Palestinian Arabs volunteered to serve in the British military during WWII, fighting in mixed or separate units alongside Jewish volunteers from Mandate Palestine across Europe, North Africa, Greece, and France.

Tonight, the Israeli army escorted settlers as they stormed the village of Deir Jarir in the West Bank.
The raid followed false accusations by settlers that Palestinians from the Christian village of Taybeh and Deir Jarir had stolen sheep.
Instead of arresting the settlers who attacked foreign diplomats in Taybeh yesterday, Israeli forces are escorting settlers as they enter Palestinian villages.

Now that @AbdulElSayed has been asked to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood because of his mother’s alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood before he was born, will we be asking Donald Trump to disavow the Ku Klux Klan because of his father’s alleged ties to the KKK in the 1920s?

🔴 Gaza’s Education Ministry said Sunday that Israeli forces have killed three schoolchildren in less than 24 hours. Tamer Shadi Subh was shot dead in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahia while in his tent. With no ambulance or vehicle available, his brother had to carry his body on his shoulders to the hospital.
With no ambulance and no car to carry him, his brother lifted him onto his shoulders and walked. Tamer Shadi Subh, a schoolboy, was shot dead by the Israeli occupation army on Sunday in the Tal Al-Dhahab area of Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza. Three years of genocide have left families without even a way to bring their dead to the hospital.
Gaza’s Ministry of Education mourned Tamer as the third schoolchild killed by the Israeli occupation in less than 24 hours, after Mohammed Riyad Abu Hammad and little Misk Hazem Al-Dalu, who was shot when Israeli forces opened fire on displaced families’ tents in Al-Maghazi camp. The ministry warned that the road to school in Gaza has become a road to death, and called on the UN and UNICEF to act to protect Gaza’s students. Five Palestinians were killed across Gaza on Sunday, two of them children, and the death toll since the ceasefire has now passed 1,511.

The law be damned, Trump is going to close East Potomac Park on Nov 15. The "redesign" eliminates picnic areas, bike lanes, playgrounds, everything to give the rich a fancy golf course. Completely illegal, too - the park was created by Congress for the people

There has never, in our lifetimes, been a genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign that the genocidal ethnic cleaners have so openly bragged about doing.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Lebanon:
Look at what is happening in Lebanon.
Today, more than 60 villages in southern Lebanon, beginning with those adjacent to the border, and beyond that, throughout the entire security zone up to the Yellow Line, an area of 700 square kilometers, are destroyed.
All the villages have been wiped out. Twenty-three thousand houses, all destroyed, demolished.
I am not even talking about what is underground, about the tunnels. Everything has been destroyed.
There are no residents there. Two hundred thousand residents are outside.
This is the Gaza model. And this is the model we are implementing.

Does this apology extend to the hundreds of Palestinians who were brutalized during the same attack?
I just called Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was brutally attacked by violent rioters on Friday.
As President of the State of Israel, I strongly condemn this outrageous and shocking violence, both the terrible attack on Heidi and other grave incidents of violence, such as what took place today in Taybeh.
I expressed my deepest sorrow to Heidi and apologized for what she went through.
The despicable behavior of the perpetrators of this attack does not represent the citizens or the values of the State of Israel.
Israel is a democratic state governed by the rule of law, and it must act with full force against every form of violence. Each incident is being thoroughly investigated, and we await the findings.
All government, security, and law enforcement authorities must use every means at their disposal to investigate thoroughly, apprehend these lawbreakers, and bring them to justice with the fullest extent of the law.
On behalf of the entire nation, I wish Heidi good health and a speedy recovery.

Stephen, a seven-year-old agreed to leave the country without a lawyer. A judge ordered a one-year-old to file an asylum application.
Your response is to scream about cartels, Democrats, and the New York Times.
What exactly is the baby supposed to do, Stephen? Retain counsel between naps?
Nobody is arguing that children should be handed over to traffickers. They're arguing that children shouldn't have to navigate immigration court without legal representation. These are not mutually exclusive positions, although I appreciate that nuance has never been your strong suit.
The Times reports that approximately 55% of nearly 50,000 completed immigration cases involving unaccompanied minors this year had no legal representation.
Your administration let the previous legal-services contract expire. That deserves scrutiny, not another tantrum about Joe Biden.
If protecting children is really your priority, perhaps explain why a one-year-old is expected to navigate a legal system that you apparently cannot discuss without having a meltdown.
This is revolting pro-cartel pro-trafficking propaganda from the New York Times. The Biden Administration trafficked almost half a million minors into the country and handed them over to unvetted adults, often unvetted adult illegal alien men. Some so-called “sponsors” were delivered numerous, even dozens, of children by the Democrat administration. The majority of the sponsors had themselves paid the cartels to obtain the children, a fact known by the Biden government. Biden spent billions ferrying these children throughout the United States and hiring lawyers to protect cartel profits by filing frivolous motions to keep the floodgates open—funneling the money through corrupt NGOs. The children then disappeared. The Trump Administration rescued these children and is working with consulates and embassies across the globe to reunite them with their families back home. On the Southwest Border, the child trafficking industry has been shut down and, when cartels do try to traffic children, we rescue them and help them find their families in their own countries. The New York Times and its propagandists object to all this and think we should go back to the Biden Policy of mass trafficking children for cartels and terrorists.

Americans and Europeans: your hard-earned money is funding these attacks.
Instead of investing in your infrastructure, schools, and public services, your governments send billions to Israel to bomb unarmed civilians and devastate Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian land.
Your taxes should build your future, not fund destruction abroad.
