DHS arrest elderly woman at anti-ICE sit in protest—drag away by her pants. She's visually impaired & needs cane to walk. One officer can be heard saying: "Take a leg, Jeff." Then 2 officers lift her up & drag disabled woman inside. "I’m defending the Constitution," she said. The sit in occurred after a mock funeral procession & march of remembrance with roughly 200–300 people. Participants carried cardboard coffins and tombstones. They were marking more than 100 people they cited who died in ICE custody—or as a direct result of ICE enforcement actions since January 2025. Incident occurred outside the ICE Law Enforcement Support Center in Williston, Vermont. Nathaniel Maddison doesn't have an active account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

🚨BREAKING: Knox County Commissioner Drenda Keesee, a MAGA Republican elected in 2024, is under fire after her son Gary “Tom” Keesee Jr. was found guilty on all 27 counts of s*xually abusing children, including 11 r*pes. Multiple witnesses at trial — including family members and, according to the county GOP, her own daughter — testified that she was aware of the abuse and failed to stop it or report it to authorities. The Knox County Republican Party itself called for her immediate resignation, citing the sworn testimony and her pattern of missing meetings. Keesee and her husband co-founded and still lead Faith Life Church, where their son previously served as a youth pastor and media director before resigning in 2024. The abuse did not occur on church property, but much of it happened in the family home and involved girls connected to the church community. While the son faces a potential life sentence, he remains free on bond until January sentencing. Drenda Keesee has not been charged, but the testimony and the GOP’s own demand for her resignation raise sharp questions about accountability for a Republican official who campaigned on law and order and Christian family values while allegedly knowing her son was r*ping children. Drenda Kesee made protecting children from “transgender ideology” and drag queens central campaign themes while promoting “traditional” Christian family values. She made this her public persona all while allegedly doing nothing to stop her own son from s*xually abusing children. Voters and local leaders are now asking the obvious: if the evidence is this clear, why is she still in office? Also, why hasn’t she been charged? It’s amazing what you can get away with when you’re a good ol’ Christian conservative who claims you’re on “God’s” side.

Newsmax got shook when I smuggled the fact Florida Republicans just DEFUNDED THE POLICE during the Blue Tsunami. Ron DeSantis put a massive property tax cut on the ballot. Republicans in the statehouse approved putting it on the ballot. It passed with 65% of the votes. Florida’s Sheriffs associations came out against Amendment 3 because it would cut their funding. Republicans led by Ron DeSantis took BILLIONS out of police budgets in Florida, the last remaining state of any size with Republicans in charge, despite a purple electorate. The next time someone tries to fear monger that Democrats will defund the police just point them to Florida, Republicans and Ron DeSantis as the new leaders in that movement. That’s why I smuggled the fact Florida just massively defunded the police, along with fire and other essential services this week.

Wrong again, Sparky. You live in a pre-Trump six dollar diesel days. #smdh #ksleg

My First Time on FOX News Went South...

Bush: Talarico? Come on! He’s not a hot guy.., Rob Sand has cheekbones for days.

I came to understand after leaving MAGA that the coordinated, multi-decade demonization, dehumanization and vilification of Democrats, liberals, etc., fuel a lot of the rage and fear within MAGA. I am not defending anyone’s ignorance, but the right-wing propaganda and agitprop have long been effective, consistent and disciplined. But this backfired on the GOP this election, and enough voters said "enough." Democrats can counter the mis- and dis-information by doing what many of their candidates did this year: going into communities, humanizing politics and showing that we agree more than we disagree on many issues.

The young people are paying attention and apparently a lot of older people are sick of the dog and pony show. Kansas and Texas are perfect examples of the people are tired of the "bloods and crypts" rhetoric. #ksleg #BlueWave
