ICE employees were made for this- you get to be a bully, dress up in gear and masks, and show off your disdain for law and order. waiting impatiently for their meltdown.

“Trump is such a horrible man”. Succinct. Somehow comforting to see someone say it. We need to collect the identities of all these ICE employees who are acting without constitutional authority, and look forward to a reckoning with them.

Liza, if New York City is a melting pot, then I say let's melt ICE to a reasonable size and stop freezing the freedoms of people in our country.

Police officers who cover their faces must be embarrassed by what they are doing or are doing something criminal.

I’d say they are criminals

He is a horrible human being. The murders in Minnesota are on him. Ice must be disbanded and those gang members put on trial.

Everything you say Liza is true of course.

What we are witnessing is not only antithetical to the foundational values of our country, but is sickening.

Yes. But we are pushing back and I sense it’s working.

Thanks for informing us.

It is time for us all to agree and to say outloud that neither Trump (34 fellony convictions, btw) nor any of his brain-damage maniac appointees have enough intelligence to do their jobs.

It is also time for those who know German history to start pointing out how similar our USA in Trump's 2025 is to how Germany was in Hitler's 1933.

Just ask the AI of your choice if there are any similarities to Trump's 2025 actions to Hitler's actions in 1933. The AI will list a few. Then ask if there are any other similarities. After it answers again, ask it again. Rinse and repeat.

If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. We will not be allowed to just flunk out. We will be required to repeat the course again and again until we learn the answers.

PS: I, too, like NYC's water towers. :-) But I'm surprised that anyone else even notices them. Cheers!

Our plight in 2025 has been pre-lived in countless dictatorial regimes during the 1900s all over Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, Iran, China, and all over South East Asia. Please be forewarned that there will be "death squads" and "disappearances" if we cannot stop this regime permanently.

No shame, & no courage either, demonstrated by tRump’s refusal to call Gov. Walz. He’s incapable of getting past his own point of view…

Well said Bobbette. And succinct.
