[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

This father went to his citizenship hearing expecting a handshake.

Instead, ICE shackled him, threw him into a van, and tore him away from his pregnant wife and four children—without even letting him say goodbye.

Kasper Eriksen arrived in Mississippi from Denmark in 2013, fully documented and determined to build a life here.

He started a family, became part of his community, and followed every rule. He was never accused, let alone convicted, of any crime.

But as best we understand, he's now imprisoned because of a single clerical mistake made years ago. In 2015, Kasper and his wife, Savannah, missed filing one form, among the hundreds required on the complicated path to citizenship.

Savannah had just suffered a stillbirth, losing their first child. In the painful days that followed, paperwork deadlines understandably slipped past unnoticed.

Now, over a month after his arrest, Kasper remains locked in a detention facility notorious for cruelty, neglect, and abuse.

Savannah—eight months pregnant, at high risk, and terrified—is desperately pleading for her husband's return.

She and their children have no idea when or if they'll ever see him again, and she doesn't know if he'll be present for her child's birth.

Every day brings another nightmare under the Trump administration.

The actions of our government are evil. There's simply no other way to describe it.

May God have mercy on us all for allowing this to happen.

Just in case you were wondering about the meaning of the #3E hashtag.

Stephen, your flair for apocalyptic rhetoric is almost admirable—“pathological” judicial misconduct, endangering lives, and shattering global alliances, all because a judge had the audacity to enforce due process. The horror! But let’s strip away the theatrics. Judge Murphy didn’t halt this deportation to South Sudan out of some nefarious plot; he did it because your team ignored a court order, rushing these men—criminals, yes, but still human—onto a plane without giving them a fair chance to say they might be killed where you’re sending them. That’s not justice; that’s a political stunt dressed up as toughness, and the judge called you on it.

And please, spare us the sob story about Djibouti. It’s a U.S. base—they’re not going to sever ties over a 15-day delay while we sort this out. The real danger here isn’t the judge’s ruling; it’s your willingness to trample on the rule of law to score points with an audience primed to fear “monsters.” If you want to talk about what’s reprehensible, look at the system that let these deportation orders fester for decades, not the judge who’s trying to clean up the mess with a little thing called fairness.

@TheStefanSmith I’m beginning to think they were the first corporation strong-armed by the regime.

@Barrberic @dieworkwear You didn’t hear that Trump went after Amazon for listing tariffs separately?

[Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher @EileenforCO]

Hi everyone! I'm Eileen Laubacher, the Democrat, retired U.S. Navy Admiral, and mother of five running against Lauren Boebert here in Colorado.

I'd love if you could follow and RT to help me get to 7,500 followers. Let's get rid of Boebert in November!

PS... love the fan art!

Car headlights have gotten absurdly bright – roughly doubling in recent years – and it's dangerous for others on the road.

I encouraged the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to look into setting better maximum brightness standards in their upcoming infrastructure bill.

NEW from the nonpartisan CBO:

The bottom 10% of Americans would see their income reduced by 4%

While the top 10% would see an INCREASE of 2%.

The GOP's budget is a Tax Scam for the rich. Full stop.

people always think that bipolar mania is like being on drugs but how i would describe it is that, mania can make you feel any and everything drugs can make you experience, but mania will also take you places drugs could NEVER 😂

@RpsAgainstTrump He touched the Pope.
I don’t think you are supposed to do that.

[DebsForDems 💙 🦋🌱🌻 @debsidoo222]

@RpsAgainstTrump Did the Pope shudder after Vance left? That casual grabbing of the Pope's arm like they're bros was cringey. Show some respect.

Umm the angle on the empire state building? You in Long Island City my dude.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Do someone who knifes you and someone who blames you for being attacked have the right to go to a bar afterwards and write out your future on a napkin? No? That’s the scenario when Putin and Trump talk about a "deal" for Ukraine.

[Jon “Bowzer” Bauman @JonBowzerBauman]

In 1975, a band opened for my group Sha Na Na at the Asbury Park Civic Center & a couple of other places in NJ.

First time some local people said “Check out your opening act. Local guy, he’s really good.”

Some guy who’s much greater than this so-called potus.

Guy named Bruce.

[Sakra @Sakranarasimha2]

@uyasarkocal @datagenproc Yes. Cathars at one point had the Elagabalus Stone (Ark of the Covenant), preserved the esoteric lineage of the Essenes, and kept records on the bloodline of the historical Jesus being King Izates II.

The Catholic Church saw to it that they were hunted into extinction.

@Vipergtsrgt1 @dieworkwear @bungarsargon Very true. There was an article in the paper that half their sales are groceries; most is grown in the States. Trump’s taxes skyrocket everything else.

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

Bruce Springsteen wrote two of the greatest works of art in all of American music: Thunder Road, and Born to Run.
His song Born in the USA is an accurate portrayal of the betrayal of the American dream, if you actually listened past the title/chorus.

He’s an honest patriot
