Saw this yesterday & agree- “The only thing ICE is protecting is the Epstein files.”

Bela's avatar

Greenland, too.

Kiki Penn's avatar

Exactly.

We will NEVER forget.

Missy DeVoy's avatar

Very scary and unsafe

Jayne Chapman's avatar

Everyone spread the word - Jack SmithFINALLY gets to have his say! 10 AM MSNBC - probably CSpan. Watch or record and spread the word!

Punkette's avatar

Yes! America can finally watch Repukes like Gym Jordan twist themselves into pretzels to defend Traitor Trump.

Jayne Chapman's avatar

Great! I was watching MSNBC and just wanted to notify as many as I could. Spread the word - thanks!

dee Romero's avatar

Thanks for the reminder.

Diana's avatar

PBS is airing this as well.

Kyle Michel Sullivan's avatar

How nice. Too bad he didn't do his job in full when he was working under Garland. Felon47 would have been in jail, not the White House.

Annie Weeks's avatar

He did. It was Garland who was slow off the mark.

Kyle Michel Sullivan's avatar

That's a convenient excuse.

Linda Harris's avatar

No Kyle, it is not a convenient excuse. Garland dropped the ball and there was definitely something off about it. Smith tried to bypass him and could not.

Kyle Michel Sullivan's avatar

Then why didn't he resign in protest?

Linda Harris's avatar

Because he knew that at a future date he would have his day before congress. Resigning would have relegated him and all his work null and void.

Dana Bennett's avatar

I want the DEMS to do their DAMN JOB!!! Get rid of ICE! We need to have ALL OUR RIGHTS returned NOW!!!

Sandi Randle's avatar

Make sure you vote Democrat, regardless of who is on the ticket!!!

dee Romero's avatar

😒 Take a class in government. The Republicans hold all of the power Maybe the next election cycle, they will choose viable candidates instead of losers.

Kyle Michel Sullivan's avatar

Take a class yourself, as well as a read of history. Democrats are sitting on their hands and just whining about what's happening instead of DOING something about it. Being loud. Screaming. Fighting. No more decorum but outright battles. No acquiescence. No deals. FIGHT. ARGUE. BE LOUD. Instead, we get strongly worded letters. Fukkk that.

Kyle Michel Sullivan's avatar

It was BOTH of them. And neither one did their job to keep this country safe from that pedo-protector. No excuses allowed. No deflection of blame.

dee Romero's avatar

Okay, Skippy 😆 🤣. Facts are difficult things to dispute.

Kyle Michel Sullivan's avatar

Cut it out. They dropped the ball, and the whole country is paying for it.

Teach84's avatar

I had to stop watching because the Repugnicans wouldn’t let him finish answering a single question. It is beyond understanding why they want to attack this man, when they should be grateful to him that he uncovered such lawless, un-democratic actions by their leader. It disgusts me.

CarolinaGirl's avatar

I had to stop watching also. Rude, Crude and Socially unacceptable behavior by the Republicans trying to make a show seeking favor with the Rumpster!

Linda Harris's avatar

I love watching Jack Smith. Having investigated and lived with these files for so long, they cannot trip him up. This has been a long time coming.

Jayne Chapman's avatar

Let others know who follow you - thanks!

Mike Hammer's avatar

Ice agents can enter your home without a warrant? Madness. This is not Posse Comitatus, its Nazi Comitatus.

Peter Tey's avatar

Indeed,

They come in great numbers with scary clothing and weapons and yell at the top of their lungs and even break down front doors

HOW CAN AN AVERAGE PERSON DEFEND HIM OR HERSELF AND INSIST ON SEEING A WARRANT SIGNED BY A JUDGE

Somewhere by a beach ⛱️'s avatar

There has to be something we all can do legally to resist this madness and occupation.

Bug Zone's avatar

They're not following the laws. Why are we?

BMAMI's avatar

That’s just they are hoping to provoke. As mad as we get we MUST stay peaceful

Karen Shields's avatar

Guess for places like MN, sidewalks & driveways can get sprayed with water that’ll then freeze, and then ICE can be truly iced by landing on their fat asses!

Somewhere by a beach ⛱️'s avatar

Love it. Be ready for photo op with mask falling down.

Attakullakulla7's avatar

General strike. Stop feeding their system. Work for yourself and collect resources among your communities to keep safe and eat something and pull together. Check out generalstrikeus.com

Attakullakulla7's avatar

That’s really weird that this wrong link posted….

BMAMI's avatar

they certainly can't as Noem tries to be op judge in all things; ice now only have to get an "administrative" warrant, which she can give to all ICE for all break ins at one time. this is not justice. they all just thumb their noses to the rule of law and the constitution.

Sara Butler's avatar

How does a “memo” turn into a new law?

Peter Tey's avatar

That can be challenged in court I think

Attakullakulla7's avatar

Did we expect these felons to abide by a law guys?

Peter Tey's avatar

OF COURSE NOT, they believe they are above the law. They have the regime's backing fully in whatever they do, just look at the murder of Renee Good, where is the murderer ? Hidden by the regime

WillHotkiss's avatar

WE are actually WINNING. LONG but very good (can skip to around 12 min in). Non-violent civil resistance explained 👇

Next will come ICE concentration camps in honor of Trump's father who wore a Hitler style haircut and attended a Nazi rally in New York City (Madison Square Garden? I don't recall.)

Somewhere by a beach ⛱️'s avatar

Crucify us happily, in our living room.

Public Servant's avatar

Jesus would have done what Don Lemon did. We should keep protesting in the streets and churches against Christofascism. I wrote a poem for Don as a tribute to his bravery: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/don-lemon-poem

M McConlogue's avatar

Lemon is a journalist. We're not supposed to crucify journalists. Yet.

Somewhere by a beach ⛱️'s avatar

They will happily crucify all of us.

dee Romero's avatar

Think before you comment. Jesus and the Holy Family had to seek out safe places to stay to prevent the persecution and death of baby Jesus.

Think!

Carrie 🇨🇦's avatar

The law says it's illegal to protest in places of worship. Lemon isn't a protester. He is a journalist. This will get tossed out.

dee Romero's avatar

*DON'T blasphemy the Holy name of Jesus. My Lord and my Savior, have absolutely NOTHING to do with FASCISM!

M McConlogue's avatar

First amendment rights. I'm pretty sure Jesus would approve.

dee Romero's avatar

You are blasphemous!

Bela's avatar

Stop the name calling

Colin Stalker's avatar

It worries me that all democratic leaders don't seem to be speaking out enough. I just hope that with there individual wealth they feel safe in there ivory towers. I could be very wrong as I'm looking in from Europe

HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN SPADES. HOW CAN THIS GO ON!?!?

will till Trump Miller are toppled, mabe the couch guy to.

Melissa's avatar

Everyone please contact your Congress representatives and put the pressure on for positive change and contact them daily 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Mary Higgins's avatar

Cornyn and Hunt, Cruz… do you think anyone of them will do a damn thing?????? Vote blue when we get the chance.

Toni's avatar

It still would be good to harrass those guys and not give them a moment's peace. Cornyn is up for re-election.

Mary Higgins's avatar

They do hear from me and us… they reply with snarky, pro-trump bs… but they hear.

CE's avatar

Even if they’re Trumpists, they need to hear from you!

BMAMI's avatar

When is the operative word there.

CE's avatar

This is imperative!!!

Locke Harvey's avatar

Disgusting and inhuman

The Sweet Stack's avatar

Unbelievably cruel. Unconstitutional. UnAmerican.

elenamoran100's avatar

OMG so sad. This is cruelty beyond belief! How can we stand for this? Wake up America ! wtf

Sheri Kern's avatar

That poor little boy 😢

lucia gillot's avatar

He'll be traumatized forever. Poor kid. These men are diabolical

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

It broke my heart seeing the image of that little boy 😭

Francesca Cee's avatar

There is going to be (and already is) so much trauma because of this gestapo. I've seen with my own eyes in my own family how trauma at such an early age has lifelong effects. I don't understand this cruelty. Children are sacred. Our homes are sacred. How can congress let this go on?

Earthling's avatar

Every time you see ICE going into our neighborhoods, that was made possible by our tax money, elon musk, & DOGE. The DOGE data grab made it possible to target non-violent immigrants who are trying to improve their lives. elon musk gave this data to the trump admin in exchange for contracts. Tesla needs to get rid of him and until then every Tesla owner needs to think long and hard about their goddamn status symbol and how it enables musk.

What can we do?

Stop buying Teslas, trade your Tesla in for something else (there are better ev’s available).

Where are all the children who have been detained? Anything under age 18 is a CHILD

Linda's avatar

ICE has several juvenile detention centers and they are planning on more. These are not subject to oversight by officials and there are reports of juveniles being sexually abused by the detention employees! Why is this not being more widely reported on and these monsters being held accountable???

Diana's avatar

Exactly! Why is this the only place we are hearing about this? Why aren't all the networks screaming this atrocity out loud?

BMAMI's avatar

even with the Smith Testimony going on, the networks could have taken a 3 minute break to report this prior to the actual hearing.

Bela's avatar

They caved to Trump

Diana's avatar

Arrggh!!! This makes me so angry. I need to detox for a bit.

paxwobiscum's avatar

I think they have to pass all their content through the white house before they broadcast

Diana's avatar

So much for freedom of the press. The White House has accused Democrats of controlling the media in the past, and maybe to an extent that was true, but pot - meet kettle.

K C's avatar

Trafficked through Trump’s trafficking ring.

Marlo's avatar

Just like Putin stealing Ukrainian children from their families. Notice the similarities?

paxwobiscum's avatar

Yes sick minds think alike

Chelsea's avatar

There is no limit to their depravity.

Echo's avatar

Our judiciary system has failed us

Sandi Randle's avatar

Roberts' SCOTUS enabled this when they gave him complete immunity!

paxwobiscum's avatar

Perhaps that was wrongfully decided like roe.V wade

Bela's avatar

No, incorrect. Most of the judiciary is functioning.

naejsllim's avatar

Then it's not the judiciary we need to function. Am I wrong in thinking SCOTUS upholds the Constitution? Then they better get off their a$$e$ and seek judgment against those breaking those laws...DJT+++

Bela's avatar

We do need the judiciary to function. but SCOTUS is not functioning. The majority backs trump. The are corrupt. They gave trump immunity. The majority of the courts below the supreme are functioning ok. There are notably exceptions such as Judge Cannon who is withholding Jack Smith's report about Trump's criminality in possessing classified materials and leaving them in unsecured places at Mara Lago. We need Congress, controlled by GOP, to function. They are the worst block imo. They lie and breaking their oaths of office. MAGA MORONS VOTED HIM INTO power so they have a lot to answer for also.

Gigi M.'s avatar

They are traumatizing children!

paxwobiscum's avatar

Now it sounds like they're raping them as well

naejsllim's avatar

REVOLTING... they learned from the lump of orange flesh.

theferalhippie's avatar

This is so disgusting. I wish I could say I'm surprised, but sadly, this is the natural progression until we stand up against these domestic terrorists.

Brian Pasquine's avatar

Most of us have been and it’s not doing anything except ramping ICE up! This is not normal.

theferalhippie's avatar

The frustration is real. I understand. There are things being done quietly in the background, the biggest problem unfortunately is the "haves" advantages that the "have nots" don't possess, but we do have our ingenuity and humanity. We have to stay loud. We have to get organized. And above all we have to get rid of the defeatist attitudes that many of us are clinging to. Change is scary especially now.

I've been involved with the underdogs of society for many years. This is a new level of fascism that we haven't seen since the Civil Rights Era. I live in the South and go past the 16th Street Church in Birmingham Alabama on a daily basis. It's a reminder to me that we can't stop the fight. Organize within your community and reach out to other groups. We are getting prepared......

Joey's avatar

this is fucking disgusting.

Cindy La Ferle's avatar

It's astounding to think that the GOP -- the party of "Pro-Life" -- cares so little about the wellbeing of these children.

Francesca Cee's avatar

They're brown, so they don't count in those people's eyes. Disgusting.

Laura McKee's avatar

Yes, and additionally, they are already born. It is only the unborn who are holy.
