    DHS better have some ironclad, rock solid probable cause on that, or their ass is grass. I swear our entire government is composed of mentally deficient man-baby thugs.

    My bet is they didnt have PC and Omar is about to win an enormous amount of money in court. In a wierd way, its a gift-- free money, and lots of press attention.

      Assuming there’s still due process during and after all of this, which I hope is a valid assumption.

    With the public execution of a Muslim man of Palestinian descent and now this, I fear Israel is trying to bring the genocide to America. I’m worried for Muslim Americans right now and I’m coming from a Mexican American family with family members on green cards who are scared.

    There is no path forward for the US unless every single person involved in this is punished.

    Same for the boat strikes.

    Same for ICE killings and concentration camps.

      Sadly I believe the path has already been taken after the tepid response of our institutions towards Trump and Jan 6th.

      it’s been a boiling frogs process.

        100%. Biden admin fucking dropped the ball big time. I consider him one of the worst Presidents simply for that (there’s also the whole genocide thing…).

        Truth is no one is gonna save us but us.

      Yes, I think the US as we knew it is gone. We’ll see what happens in November. The fascists will not cede power, so we will see how the country reacts. I’ll bet we just accept it and try to live our lives like most people do. We blew it in '24 when we had a legitimate chance.

        We didn’t blow it, trump and musk rigged the election and admitted to it on live TV. The math backs it up, but the media won’t report on it because they’re part of the coup too.

        A lot of us aren’t just going to accept it.

        If we have to go to civil war, fine, let’s just fucking do it.

        I hope it stays peaceful and congress brings legal authority for those who want to defend democracy, but if it doesn’t stay peaceful I know a lot of people that are ready for that.

        We’re all fucking tired of being abused.

        They’re obviously going to try some shit this election but I don’t think they’re going to go as hard this year as they will in ‘28. Trump doesn’t seem to really care if they lose the House because he probably plans to just ignore anything a Dem house will do anyway. He’s already blaming congressional GOP for losses when it’s almost entirely his admins policies sinking them.

        The Senate is in play but I think it’s still gonna be GOP because the Senate is inherently fucking bullshit and IF it goes 51/49 to Dems, Fetterman is gonna flip. This is another reason I don’t think they’re gonna put in a lot of effort to sabotage this election. IF we somehow get a 52/48 Dem senate then I’d really expect shit to pop off.

        They’re going to push and prod to find weaknesses. They’ll probably give up on the House, get everyone to let their guard down. Then use what they learn this year to really fuck things up in ‘28.

          They are already trying to normalize public executions by firing squad. How long till they use it against their “political enemys”

      I agree and that would be almost a third of the American population! And the only reason it’s not way higher, is that people are beginning to feel the results of his policies themselves. As long as it was “just” everybody else, he still had support from almost half the population.

        agreed, to a point. I cant help but notice that the centrist DNC is silent in the face of Omar being attacked. Why arent they outraged? Why dont they call for investigations and oversite? She is a dem, but they sure seem to be letting her hang in the wind because she is a progressive.

        Fully agree. As an example I work with a 55 year old man who is a hardcore trump supporter. And he says if trump causes the end of the world and we are all being marched into the pits of hell he would make sure to push a liberal in front of himself just to be alive 5 seconds longer and own the libs one last time.

          Unfortunately American society is psychopathic, and that breeds psychopaths.
          It’s so bad that many normal Americans are beginning to have a hard time identifying it, because it’s been so normalized throughout society. 3 times and you’re out, death penalty, cutting food stamps, lack of healthcare for all. Stand your ground etc, there are dozens of such systemic problems, and it permeates all of American society at all levels, and many Americans have gotten used to it without realizing. And getting used to it without realizing means they have become at a minimum close to psychopaths themselves.

          It is very sad, because all the right ideals are present in USA too, they are just not the ones that enough people are voting for.
          Become a member of the Democratic party and support David Hogg, he is showing the way forward.

    I’m wondering what they claim they have that got a judge to sign off on this bs.

        Since when can the DOJ execute search warrants without a judge signing off on it?

        This isn’t the same kind of situation as an administrative warrant, the type ICE is using, to my knowledge. Even ICE has avoided breaking into people’s properties to arrest people because those administrative warrants don’t cover that.

    I guarantee you they “found” whatever it was they went there to find. She’s probably going to be kicked out of America because little baby trump gets what he wants or people die pay.

    I mean both Trump and Omar are criminals. So I guess that makes one less, which would be a net positive.
