As insane as this sounds, it’s true: Pam Bondi sent Minnesota officials a letter today saying ICE would leave the state if Minnesota turns over its voter files to the Trump Administration. They’re openly using state violence as a bargaining chip to seize election infrastructure.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

They did not censor Gaza. They did something worse. They let you see it. All of it. Then trained you to scroll. To compartmentalize. To call it tragedy instead of policy. So that the next time it happens, you are not shocked. You are updated.

Two things I’ll say about this statement from the Patriarchs in Jerusalem that Huckabee is too diplomatic and gracious to say himself: 1) Without the protection of Zionism, they’re dead. Their churches burned, holy sites destroyed, their women raped, and their congregations

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Beyond parody: Trump's "Board of Peace" logo is basically the UN logo repainted in tacky fake gold and with "the world" reduced to only North America.
