ON THIS DAY: Seventy years ago, Rosa Parks, a Black seamstress, was arrested after refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus. In 1995, she spoke to @DebRobertsABC and reflected on not giving up her bus seat: https://t.co/G3IJaR0PMU

Abraham Lincoln would have beaten whoever wrote this into the ground. He despised anti-immigrant bigots who declared that certain foreigners were unworthy to come here; unworthy to be treated as equals under our Declaration of Independence. Here’s what he wrote in 1855.
The fight for Western Civilization has begun—and Americanism will Prevail.

They are actually promoting “taxation without representation” now. Retirees still pay taxes Unemployed people still pay taxes even if they make nothing and pay no income tax they’d still pay sales taxes and other taxes. Our founding fathers started a revolution over this.
I like this proposal. Only those who contribute can vote. Doesn’t matter if they white, black, Hispanic, gay, straight, man, or woman etc. If you contribute (work) you vote. If you are only a recipient of the contributions then you should NOT get to vote. Seems fair to me…

Update on this case: a judged DISMISSED the enhanced assault charge against the citizen Border Patrol tried to illegally arrest for photographing them b/c the agents lied about him being the one to cause the accident when they were on tape describing their intent to hit him
A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

Phillip: And now the Trump administration is saying that they care so much about stopping drugs from coming into the country, that they're going to bomb the guys on a fishing boat, but set free the guy who ran the cartel?

When the White House says it was done in self-defense, what do you make of that? Congressman Chris Deluzio: "Hundreds of miles away from the U.S., people clinging onto the wreckage of a boat, who are they putting in danger? To say that you can kill people who are unarmed, that’s

BREAKING NYT: The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City. All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

The firings, part of a nationwide effort, felt “like a Monday afternoon massacre,” said one judge who lost her job last month.

This is neither logical nor moral.
It is the Secretary of State's right to determine who is a terrorist. It is our right as Americans to have terrorist threats neutralized. Try asking the mothers of kids who overdosed what they think of bombing drug boats heading our way.

That you’re a stenographer. That’s what it says.
You can criticize me for not having a journalism degree… But what does it say about the folks with degrees that I replaced them at the Pentagon?

This is incredible. Kash Patel is such a diva clown he must be loathed by rank and file FBI agents.
According to a new report from active-duty and retired FBI agents, there was a bit of an issue when Patel arrived at Provo in the aftermath of the Kirk assassination: he would not leave the plane without an FBI raid jacket. They found a female special agents' jacket for him. But
