LOCAL POLICE SHOULD ASSURE ICE IS ACTING CONSTITUTIONALLY. You may think ICE are thugs due to Trump's policy. You may think ICE are thugs due to their behavior. Even if you support the idea that ICE is needed in some form, the truth is scarier. ICE is recruiting thugs. A journalist with a military background went to an ICE recruitment. Here's what happened: 1) She had a six-minute conversation without her having to write “a single signature on agency paperwork. 2) From a "job portal," she was made a “tentative offer” and instructed to return forms, which sought information about her driver’s license and any prior domestic violence convictions, as well as consent for a background check to be carried out. 3) She did not complete any form. 4) She logged into the job portal on October 3, and found she had "passed" a fitness test and a background check on October 6. 5) The site claimed she had accepted a final offer and, as of September 30, been entered on duty in NY....She declined.

The "Peace President" gets us into war. Hearing the Trump news conference, the new drinking game is "oil and wealth," not "elections and democracy." Trump said that he will "work with Maduro's VP," not with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her fight for democracy against the Maduro government. The problem with Maduro is not that he was a corrupt dictator. It's that he was not OUR corrupt dictator, as proved by the fact that Trump pardoned the former President of Honduras who had been convicted in a U.S. federal court on drug trafficking and weapons charges and was serving a 45-year prison sentence. Trump said that the U.S. will "run Venezuela," while U.S. citizens cannot afford healthcare. This is U.S. blood for oil, might makes right, and a message to China and Russia, "If you want something, take it by military force. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c5yqygxe41pt

Was there ever any doubt that Trump would cave to Russian extortion? "Washington has presented Kyiv with a 28-point plan, which calls for Ukraine to cede territory, accept limits to its military, and renounce ambitions to join NATO." https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/top-ukraine-security-official-denies-accepting-terms-trumps-peace-plan-2025-11-21/

Federal Courts have ordered the release of SNAP food assistance funds, but Trump has decided that $190 per month is too generous, so he is reducing the payments to further delay assistance. USDA warned in a court filing that it could take weeks or even months for states to make all the system changes to send out reduced benefits. The Big, Ugly 💩 bill already cut SNAP benefits by $186 billion. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-administration-faces-deadline-tell-050947397.html

Quote the president, go to jail. A Tennessee man uses Trump's "Get over it" after a 2024 shooting at Iowa's Perry High School, applying it to the Charlie Kirk shooting, and is charged with threatening a similarly-named school in Tenn. He's facing a $2M bond and six years in prison. Orwellian, Kafkaesque, and Fu**ed-Up! https://reason.com/2025/10/10/tennessee-man-arrested-gets-2-million-bond-for-posting-facebook-meme/?nab=0

FOX News: " ICE ransacked apartments, broke down doors, put assault rifles in faces of the residents, zip-tied little children, & separated black from brown people into vans." Only missing are the boxcars to concentration camps. Declaring war on US cities is treason. https://www.google.com/search?q=chicago+raid+trashes+homes&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS1075US1075&oq=chicago+raid+trashes+homes&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIJCAEQIRgKGKABMgkIAhAhGAoYoAEyCQgDECEYChigATIJCAQQIRgKGKABMgcIBRAhGI8CMgcIBhAhGI8C0gEJMTIyMzdqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&fbclid=IwY2xjawNTpMhleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFPNnJlcFhxR2hSWXU2eWU3AR5cHZlDhT8EWcy_esl-qNdQ6VYgKcjW5XVQatK6JkeVNhYqiCEkvpnkLYj0EQ_aem_FXpMKcg64YYyvEbIbCX0mw#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:098584eb,vid:MlImprKc6mo,st:0

Zach Bryan is a Country singer with over 8 million followers. When you have lost Zach Bryan, MAGA, have you lost the Country (double-entendre)? He is the #3 most-streamed country artist across all platforms, including Spotify. The Trump Administration has been misusing his song, "Redemption," about second chances. Zach's most recent song, “Bad News, ” is about the abuses of ICE. A sample: “ICE is gonna come bust down your door. Try to build a house, no one builds no more. “Well I got a telephone, kids are all scared and all alone. The bars start bumping, the rocks start rolling, the middle finger’s rising and it won’t stop showing, got some bad news.” He continues, “The fadin’ of a red, white, and blue. The fading of a red, white and blue.” https://www.instagram.com/zachlanebryan/reel/DPWkQ4CEcNp/?hl=en

Bottom Line: TRACKING TRUMP: National Defense Strategy. Bottom Line: Trump's pulling US troops out of Europe to be positioned at our Southern Border, and in US cities, despite Russia's drone invasion of NATO Countries and China's rapid military buildup. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/09/29/hegseth-national-defense-strategy-trump-dissent/

As a historical point of reference, from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, "Individual citizens chose to be 'involved' when they voluntarily denounced their co-workers and neighbors to the police because of their alleged transgressions as Jews, 'friends of Jews,' anti-Hitlerites, or gays." https://patch.com/california/longbeach-ca/s/jjz62/volunteer-force-called-on-for-ice-mass-deportations?utm_source=alert-breakingnews&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alert&user_email=51e8d2f2a566d706272eff45169e70d69755f3e8eb6fe6ad3171d38b3145c100&user_email_md5=90b4c4e7057c022cf4b2c969ec261788&lctg=6169e654e0823d586f2a0ede&fbclid=IwY2xjawMTS6FleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHkr_E-HlFXXJ-ewjRL1Wao01CHJJ6DTbQBhfuy-EktsLk1lu5HWEgBKz91F-_aem_AU2XuRXQ1_B10loFyPgs9g

The Cruelty Is The Point. While many of us were happily shopping, planning for vacations, or taking our kids to their sports, these hardworking people in eight Long Beach car washes were just trying to live their lives. But in the Fascist State of Amerika under Trump's goon squads, arriving masked and in unmarked cars, and despite a court order against him, there are no Fourteenth Amendment (warrant) or Fifth Amendment (Due Process) protections, when "probable cause" is the color of your skin! If you need legal assistance for someone detained by ICE, call Orale at (213) 434-7799. If you are trying to locate someone detained by ICE, call (888) 351-4024 or go to locator.ice.gov https://www.instagram.com/p/DNhUO0sxLl7/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=embed_video_watch_again&fbclid=IwY2xjawMTLYlleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFzU3FpQWJWTkdUNUJuTTFMAR5U6dmCG8ngR2RBKWxG_X75YFlRVhRj87we3cXKYcrH40KDEd5PGw8tNRA8QA_aem_JzZI0Rql_tAIZahQhHjTUQ

After Trump did a red carpet rollout (almost a first), clasping Putin's hand more than he does Melania's, and then doing a "driving Mr. Putin," sipping tea in the backseat of the Presidential auto (a firest-a KGB Agent on a US military base, what could go wrong?), he continued to let Puty dominate the meeting. Putin showed Trump maps showing that Ukraine belongs to Russia, and spoke first. Even by Trump's low bar, saying that he would "walk away if he didn't get a ceasefire," Trump stayed because, heck, Puty agreed there would have been no war if Trump had been president, and agreed with Trump that there was "no Russian election interference." Trump said that there were "tremendous Russian business representatives here," so maybe Trump got a golf course out of it. Trump talks tough, and TACOs once again. Trump said "It's up to Zelensky." No Nobel or even noble for you, Donny!

If this seems like a "socialist" idea, think of what state, much less the federal government, would do this? The answer is the Red State of Alaska, which last year distributed $2,000 to every qualifying resident. The money comes from a portion of the State's oil revenues. In the US, we, on the other hand, directly subsidize our fossil fuel industry $52 billion/year, with indirect subsidies (submarket leases, IMF rates, oil depletion allowance, and environmental) of $700 billion. This is from an industry that makes $125 billion annually. And yet, Trump states the Government should not subsidize Green Energy. https://www.facebook.com/reel/593907656462912

Social Security is an example of how Trump and his supporters are wrong in scapegoating "The Other, " immigrants, people of color, etc., for societal ills. When, in fact, the problem is "top and bottom," the wealth inequities and subsidies for the rich and corporations that are embedded in our laws. The Social Security "Trust Fund" is literally Government Bonds and "IOU Bonds" for money "borrowed" by Congress." Since 2006, this thievery reached a milestone, passing the staggering $1 trillion mark, not including interest. Under present law, Congress can raid Social Security funds to the tune of $693 billion over the next 10 years. Additionally, employers are allowed to deduct an employee's Social Security benefits by up to 50% of the"defined benefits" otherwise owed to the employee by the employer. Even with the Congressional theft and corporate subsidies of Social Security, the program would still be solvent for decades if, like Medicare, the income cap on the amount of earnings on which you must pay Social Security tax (now at $176,100) were removed, and the rich paid their fair share. You wonder what is in the makeup of a person who lives to 94 years and has no compassion. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid05ufHnBn2NbsYRxpuLP6DLGBuoFbbvdcwij2nYrUURV4RVreSBaxrMZhhNoRs6Ujql&id=100003883074402&mibextid=FcsR0n

According to Mother Jones Magazine, "The Minnesota shooter who killed a state lawmaker and her husband and wounded another legislator and his wife reportedly had a list containing dozens of other names, including abortion providers and advocates." So what is the Christo-Fascist Speaker of the House, Johnson, doing in response? He's moving H.R. 589 to a floor vote that seeks to repeal a 30-year protection that makes it a federal crime to use force, threats, or physical obstruction to interfere with access to reproductive health facilities, including abortion clinics. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/republicans-move-step-closer-to-repealing-protections-for-abortion-clinics_n_6849a143e4b04dad09cba606?fbclid=IwY2xjawK8HSxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFJSWtkaVdZZ05FTzQ0d2lNAR6epy1RlAKw1l9zwAucc_VMm4yBidmMzUJcEshBnPDnwUcV2dsmNG6TiW28ow_aem_t84s0eQQVLefXnYXdd2eCg#:~:text=Republicans%20Move%20A%20Step%20Closer,religious%20worship%20from%20similar%20violence
