In this clip, Hillary Clinton floats the possibility that Netanyahu deliberately allowed the 10/7 attack to go forward so that he could capitalize on it and strengthen his political position.

Given all the evidence we have, it is very difficult to escape that conclusion. That even Hillary Clinton is willing to voice it is rather extraordinary.

This regime is full of sadistic deviants who get off on thinking up ways of inflicting maximum trauma on whatever out-group they’re assigned to scapegoat.

Psychopathy at scale never ends well. It’s both unstable and deadly.

I was just detained for almost two hours at Miami International Airport coming back from an overseas trip. I was interrogated, asked about my work, political activities, books and literature I had, and my phone was seized.

She came to the land of opportunity through a legal process like so many before her. Followed the rules. Showed up to an immigration appointment after the most devastating health event a woman can experience. Gets shackled like an animal. That’s our country now.

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

What is this “for now” BS?! What is there to decide? Either Trump had the authority to build it or he didn’t. So Roberts is telling Trump to continue to build it and then what? You think this Supreme Court is going to tell him to tear it down? What a crock! https://t.co/gWKR4NMcML

Under Trump, protected wild horses are going to slaughter.

A legal loophole allows the government to sell mustangs on the cheap, stripping them of protections and clearing their path to destruction.

We are unquestionably sending people to their deaths, all because the President and his appointees are making policy based on pure racism and bigotry.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

If you’re grabbed by someone wearing “shock gloves”…your body may convulse involuntarily.

It could look like you’re resisting arrest when in reality, you’re in medical distress.

The appearance of resistance gives ICE grounds to use lethal force.

These gloves will kill people.

[Kerry Kennedy @KerryKennedyRFK]

Watching this video, I am filled with overwhelming anger and shame. Shame that in this country, “the land of the free,” people can be stripped of their dignity and treated with such profound cruelty at the stroke of a pen.

The Trump administration stripped some 300,000 Haitians of their legal status overnight. Many of these people have spent decades building their lives in the United States, and now they’re being branded with a tracking device that restricts their movement without ICE permission. It is humiliating. It is dehumanizing. And it is cruel.

This past June, @Kennedy_HRC, alongside @AmicaCenter and Zuckerman Spaeder LLP, filed a lawsuit to end ICE’s expanded use of ankle monitors, which forced nearly 50,000 people into a system of arbitrary electronic surveillance. 🔗 More about our class action here: https://t.co/LmAwRUIwFl

The State Department’s own July advisory places Haiti at Level 4, warning Americans not to travel there due to widespread violent crime, kidnapping, and collapsed law enforcement capacity. But Haitians are now being forced to upend their lives and return to a country the U.S. government itself warns Americans not to visit.

The hypocrisy at the heart of this policy is as staggering as its cruelty.

Judge Wise finds that ICE coerced a 20-year-old Tongan man — admitted legally to the country three years ago — to sign a document accepting deportation, despite no criminal record or immigration proceedings against him. https://t.co/va4l5WjxXk

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

THIS IS WHAT TRUMP’S MASS-DEPORTATION POLICY LOOKS LIKE.

Brian Morales was born in Denver. He produced his Colorado birth certificate, Social Security card and hospital birth record. But after a traffic stop, ICE refused to let him retrieve his documents, accused him of lying, threatened him with prison, moved him through five facilities and deported him to Mexico.

“As a U.S. citizen, how can they treat me like this, just because I only speak Spanish?”

This was not simply a clerical error. It was the predictable result of a system built on racial profiling, coercion and speed instead of evidence, due process and truth. More than 170 U.S. citizens were reportedly detained by immigration agents during the first nine months of Trump’s second administration.

If the government can make Brian’s citizenship disappear, it can make yours disappear too.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY helps immigrants and citizens prepare for encounters with ICE and other federal agents, understand their rights, ask for a lawyer before signing anything, document abuse and preserve evidence for legal action.

Know your rights. Record everything. Never sign what you do not understand.

PAXIS is free for immigrants and citizens. Help keep it that way: https://t.co/Hi5Yo2N2N2

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

You need to listen to this story.

A 15 year old Connecticut high school student won the Department of Education's civics contest. But he was denied a place on the podium. And the question is why and whether it was because his parents are immigrants.

"That book is now closed. Today’s epilogue diminishes the gravity of that day, denigrates the work of the prosecutors and ... officers who secured these convictions, and excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy ... to buckle."
