I am angry tonight.
Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.
This is for the “protect kids” crowd: 13 year old CHILDREN are currently pregnant in Trump’s concentration camps.
They weren’t pregnant when they went in.
And nothing is being done about it.
BREAKING: AMEN! The Catholic Church SLAMS Pete Hegseth’s big public execution announcement as a “barbaric promotion of a culture of death.”
The gloves have really come off now…
“It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War’s decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan,” Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in an official statement.
Yesterday, our alcoholic Fox News host turned “Secretary of War” proudly revealed that Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter who killed 13 people and injured 32 others in 2009, will be publicly executed. The announcment proved to be red meat for the so-called Christians in the MAGA movement, because apparently they’d rather live in Ancient Rome than in a civilized western democracy. They delight in carnage.
“Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan’s actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered,” Archbishop Coakley continued. “The word of God exhorts us: ‘do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17). The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people.”
“I pray for the intercession of Our Lady of Good Counsel that we as a nation may always choose life even in the most trying times and circumstances,” he added.
We couldn’t agree more. Hasan, who is confined to a wheelchair due to gunshot injuries incurred during his attack, deserves to spend the rest of his life in a prison cell. Executing him in a public has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with an administration that fetishizes violence, particularly “holy” violence against Muslims, above all else. Hegseth and Trump are pandering to their base and dragging our entire nation into the gutter in the process.
You can feel perfectly justified anger and even hatred for Hasan’s murderous actions and still not want to live in an Iron Age culture where people are killed in public by the government. Hegseth is taking a page right out of the ISIS playbook with this one and no doubt hopes that this display of brutality will prompt bloodthirsty young men to enlist in the military or ICE, which is exactly why the caliphate spread its execution videos online. These Christian Nationalists are exactly the same as the radical Islamists that they despise.
America is truly circling the drain now. Thankfully, the Catholic Church is using its full weight as a 2000-year-old institution to take a moral stand against this demonic regime. We must all lend our voices to their fight for a juster, kinder, more Christ-like society.
Please ❤️ and share to thank Archbishop Coakley for speaking out!
Pete Hegseth announced that the Department of Defense would publicly execute Nidal Hasan and live stream the execution. There is no doubt that Nidal Hasan is a murderer who took the lives of 13 people and injured dozens. He should face justice for that. But a public execution? Here in the United States? It’s the kind of thing Iran and the Taliban do. Is this who we want to be associated with? Pete Hegseth’s campaign of “maximum lethality” and his comments about “killing people” and now his desire to publicly execute a prisoner indicate to me that his expiration date in this job has long passed. He should be removed immediately. And this administration needs to reevaluate its priorities. How about they trade glorifying violence for solving some problems and delivering for the American people? We need to be reminded of the nation we can be at our best. As President Ronald Reagan said “compassion, vision, and a fundamental sense of decency are the hallmarks of our national character.” That is not what we’ve seen from this President and his administration. We need to find that again.
So let's get this straight: Russia just murdered over 65 people in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. Crushed a building on top of sleeping families to celebrate Putin's birthday.
And today, the U.S. announces that they are lifting sanctions on Russian diesel and planning to buy some, essentially becoming sponsors of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Just a day after a horrific terrorist attack by Russia that killed so many, and just before the winter when the Russian government screams from all the rooftops that they are going to create a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine by destroying our infrastructure.
This is just such a low and cruel betrayal that it's hard to wrap my head around...
ARMED TROOPS AT AN ACTIVE BALLOT DROP BOX. WHO ORDERED THIS?
Federal law prohibits troops at election sites, including ballot boxes. Voter intimidation there is illegal. The presence of armed federal guards is intimidation. Under 18 U.S.C. § 592, whoever ordered this faces up to FIVE YEARS IN PRISON and disqualification from federal office upon conviction.

A child had to watch their father get shot by ICE.
Our babies deserve to be kids. Not live in fear. Not locked in cages. And not be caught in gunfire while in the back seat of a car.
This rogue ICE agency is out of control. Enough.
Mamdani is 💯 right.
You’ve got guys dressed up as construction workers wearing masks, and you have no idea if they’re a federal agent or just a violent thug.
THIS FUCKER OPENED FIRE INTO A CAR WITH A FIVE-YEAR-OLD KID IN IT!
ICE needs to get the fuck out of New York City and never come back
ICE rip young children away from father—throw little boy down into the street.
Boy barely avoids getting run over by car.
"They're just kids!" witness yells.
"She's holding a baby!"
All in front of library playground.
Agents so rough with kids—literally knock their shoes off.
Incident occurred beside Library Park Playground in Harrison, New Jersey.
Ms. Chi doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
Sen. Thom Tillis on President Trump's Cabinet:
— Pete Hegseth is "the biggest regret of my career."
— Says he should have stopped RFK Jr. from becoming health secretary.
— Tulsi Gabbard won't be challenging anyone "for president of her local Mensa chapter. "
— Kristi Noem is a dog murderer
— Howard Lutnick quote is "nuttier than squirrel shit."
"I stand by all that."
In the last 48 hours, Russia has killed at least 64 people in Ukraine! 64 human beings murdered for the crime of being Ukrainian in Ukraine.
Where's the reaction from our partners? Not even a single word from U.S. administration, or are they still celebrating Putin’s birthday??
9 months ago, ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Renée Good in broad daylight and called her a "fucking bitch" as he walked away.
Renée's family and our community have yet to see justice for this senseless murder. It's unacceptable.
We must prosecute and abolish ICE.
“Let Iran take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.”
Those words came from the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
The White House says Trump meant the war was preventing an Iranian attack. Then why the fuck couldn’t he say that?
These are American cities. Families. Children. Military personnel. People he swore to protect.
Americans should not need a White House translator to know their president wants them alive.

Doctors are now fighting to save the lives of people injured in the Russian strike on Kramatorsk. As of now, 30 people have been confirmed killed, and sadly, that number may rise. The Russian bomb effectively hit two city minibuses. Some of those killed have still not been identified because of the severity of their injuries. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Another 18 people were injured in the strike. Residential buildings and cars were also damaged.
This strike will not go unanswered. Russia is trying to destroy all life in Donbas, and a response from the world is a must. A forceful response – exactly as the Russians deserve for all the deaths they have brought. May all those killed rest in peace.
Putin marked his birthday with more strikes on Ukraine. Reagan's party once stood up to Moscow. Today's Republican senators can't even speak up. Remember that in November.
This is exactly what I warned would happen last year.
Trump is using mass deportations to TERRORIZE diverse communities out of legally voting — ordering his secret police to “go after everybody.”
Donald, your campaign of fear will FAIL. The American people will NOT be intimidated!
