Since taking office in January 2025, the Trump administration has pursued an unprecedented mass deportation agenda: expanded expedited removals, offshore detention at Guantanamo, transfers to a notorious prison in El Salvador, termination of protected status, and deportations. Families are being torn apart and people are disappearing into detention. This is the cruelest immigration regime in modern American history.
On the most recent episode of my podcast, I spoke with @hafza_girdap, spokesperson for @silencedturkey, about Erdogan`s u-turn on democracy and reforms, and why the EU and especially NATO are not speaking out about this egregious violation of NATO`s charter. Listen to the full episode now; link in bio.
The next episode of my podcast "On the Issues with Alon Ben-Meir" is this upcoming Tuesday, February 24, at 10:00am EST, with Wioletta (Wiola) Rebecka, a Doctor of Psychology and human rights activist whose work focuses on the long-term consequences of conflict-related sexual violence.

The Epstein files are not creating a new story about Trump; they are reinforcing an old one. The issue is not whether Trump was charged. It is about credibility, transparency, and the standards we expect from the presidency. When repeated ties to a convicted sex offender become politically acceptable, it signals a troubling shift in public expectation from the holder of the highest office on the land.
Families living in fear under the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda, they are afraid to leave their homes, send their children to school, go to work, or seek medical care. Some are skipping life-saving treatment just to avoid detention. Despite a projected $2.9 billion budget deficit, California chose compassion over cruelty, funding food assistance, basic needs, and legal support through local organizations. While critics attack the decision, the message is clear: human dignity matters. California will not turn its back on families when they are most vulnerable. Governor Newsom should be commended for his humanitarian efforts to protect those in need.

How about you help your citizens who can't afford heat and food
If they are here illegally, they should self deport, fill out the paperwork, follow the process and return as legal, legitimate immigrants. Many of us arrived in the US by going through the process and following the law. It's not that hard....time consuming, yes, but worth it. I've never, ever worried about being deported or detained.
Maybe he can get them to teach him how to read.
Maybe they can read his speaches while he eats KFC
They should be, if they are afraid it means they know they are guilty.
It's kind of like when you don't have a license, but you're driving. (You really should get your paperwork in order.)
Immigrants…not illegal immigrants. That’s the difference. Idk why it’s so hard to see the difference. The entire country is built off immigration. But there are laws in place to do it legally. I don’t understand why this is a thing. Distractions from other major things perhaps.
What a hit piece this is...protect illegal citizens at the taxpayers expense i
Just it’s legal citizens…
If they are LEGAL, why worry???? Simple as a pimple
Compassion would be from his own money not the state.
No. They just turn their back on actual American citizens
THEY WON'T SEE A PENNY OF THAT MONEY
Or the Vets how defended this country living on the streets
Just citizens.
Just on their own people.
How about you dissapear permently
Sure we are short on money so let’s keep spending it where it’s not meant to be spent
Helping the taxpayer leeches before citizens.
Just the homeless
Keep leaving out a word. “Illegal”
Immigrants or illegal immigrants. There is a huge difference.
We know…..the rest or California will pay for it too.
As long as he wants to spend state go right ahead, but you’re not getting federal bag of shit
This is horse shit and Newsom should be investigated for racketeering!
Seventy-seven percent (77%) of people placed into deportation proceedings for the first time in 2025 had no criminal conviction, according to a Guardian analysis of DHS records. This directly contradicts the Trump administration’s claim that it is targeting “the worst of the worst.” Only 23% had any conviction, mostly for nonviolent or immigration offenses. Deportation in practice has targeted those who are most visible and vulnerable, disproportionately people of color. This was not about crime; it was about racialized enforcement, political scapegoating, and expanding detention under a false narrative.

If you are fishing for yellow fin tuna and you catch a blue fin you are not throwing the blue fin back
Doesn’t have to have criminal conviction. But last I look 70 percent had one criminal conviction not violent that’s even according to democrat think tank
Horse hockey… 🙄
You know every time I read one of these it says they didn’t have a criminal record. We don’t care that’s not the point they committed a crime whether they have a record of it or not. 
We weren't overrun by Sweden and Norway!
So if I sneak into Columbia and the government finds out and deports me it’s going to be because I'm white?
Hes doing a great job
No. We're STARTING with the worst, but all the break-and-enter crowd has to go. The self deport is a great option! 👈😉
Well… yeah… not many Canadians or Europeans crossing. Mainly from South American countries… soo…
The first time you commit a felony you have no previous convictions
Maybe they should be eating tacos
Show us verifiable evidence showing that he is doing this because the color of their skin, bet you can’t
Soon they will deport the orange man because of his color of his skin. 😆
And you're going off of the 400,000 number so that's roughly what around 50 some thousand people who had violent criminal convictions and 100% of them were criminals
It is not the color of the skin that makes one eligible for deportation!
That’s a good start. A little common sense goes a long way!
Did they follow the proper procedure? 😱 they didn't? Who could've foreseen consequences to their actions?
Nothing new but I'm glad you're giving it visibility and audience.
Correlation does not equal causation. While it is true that most of the people deported are darker in complexion that does not mean they were deported because they are of darker complexion as it so happens the vast majority of people who are here illegally happen to be darker in complexion so it would stand to reason that the majority of people deported would also be of darker complexion this shit is basic reasoning it’s not rocket science
Grow up
Nice try. Next
Power grab to show Putin Xi and Kim he is the boss
Do people think it’s ok to cheat like to see the outcome Many names I’d never forget
80 percent of statistics are made up 90 percent of the time by 50 percent of the people trying to prove their point.
I believe that what is impelling Trump to attack Iran, with the encouragement of PM Netanyahu, is to seek regime change rather than stopping Tehran from enriching uranium and limiting its production of long-range missiles. The outcome of such an attack will be disastrous. It could plunge the region into war and prolonged instability. Iran's assured retaliation could inflict severe death and distraction on US regional military personnel and installations and its allies and may well usher in an even more radical regime than the current one. Iran wants to reach an agreement, but it will NOT capitulate under American military threats. An agreement can be reached if Trump abandons the idea of regime change and considers more crippling sanctions should negotiations fail. War is not the answer, especially when the stakes are so high for the states in the region and beyond.

Take out the regime. It is that simple.
Crusades are coming to a town near you if this is not done now.
Persians deserve to be free
Long live the unity of Iran Russia and China
دانشجویان در دو شهر بزرگ ایران روز دوشنبه سوگند یاد کردند که برای سومین روز متوالی به اعتراضات خود در دانشگاهها علیه رهبران حاکم کشور ادامه دهند. طبق گزارشهای متعدد، تظاهرات ضد دولتی در طول آخر هفته در دانشگاههای بزرگ تهران و مشهد رخ داد که نشاندهنده برخی از مهمترین ناآرامیهای دانشگاهی از زمان سرکوب مرگبار ماه گذشته توسط رژیم اسلامی است. ویدیوهایی که توسط نیویورک تایمز و بیبیسی تأیید شدهاند، صدها دانشجو را نشان میدهند که در آغاز ترم جدید در دانشگاه صنعتی شریف تهران و سایر دانشگاهها راهپیمایی میکنند. ایران آزاد! daneshjuyan dar do shehar bozorg iran ruz doshenbeh sogand yad kardand keh baraye somin ruz motvali bah eterazat khod dar daneshgangeya aliyeh rayabran hakam keshor edameh dahand. tabagh gozareshesaye motadad, tazanparat zed dolti dar tul akhar npafteh dar daneshgangnpehei bozorg taharan ve moshehad rakh dad keh neshandehandeh barkhi az moteomtarin naaraminpehei daneshgangi az zaman sarkub morgbar mah gozashteh toset rezhim eslami est. vidiveyayi keh toset newyork tayamz ve bibc taeid shodehand, sadehya daneshju ra neshan midehand keh dar aghaz taram jadid dar daneshgah sanati sharif taharan ve sayer daneshgangeya ranpapeymayi mikonand. iran azad!

How much IRGC and Islamic Republic exactly paid you to post this?
BACK IN THE 70’s WHEN THE SHAH FLEW FROM FRANCE TO IRAN ON A PLANE LOADED WITH JOURNALISTS TO PROTECT HIM FROM BEING SHOT DOWN, WE SHOULD HAVE SHOT THE PLANE DOWN!!!
If Trump WANTED to attack Iran, he would have done it in January.
to be clear 🤨 “Iran is NOT a Regime Change Operation - it is a Balkanization Operation” follow this link to the video: 👉🏼 share.upscrolled.com/en/post/775e2e70-0dc7-11f1-8080-800036ff43b8/ #Iran #UScrimesAgainstHumanity #USstateSponsoredTerrorism #USviolationsOfInternationalLaw #GlobalPredatoryCapitalism
Our “interests” in “regime change” have RARELY turned out well. Central and South America are exemplary.
We need to regime change in Israel is what we need
It only 20 years, hundreds of American lives tens of thousands of Afghan lives, and trillions of dollars to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Typical this making it about what is convenient rather than making it about what it is about. The US should and will make it about the people of Iran. Regime change is necessary and that will produce both results. What the people of Iran want and the end to uranium enrichment. Netanyahu should completely sit this one out. The only role he should be allowed to play is the use of military basis.
War is fragile, and hurt is blamed on the other side because basically, money is power, and the USA may be scared of that to buy more weapons after supplying Israel for too long. Yes, it's a holy land, but religion at this scale is blind to the fact that spiritually, only a few can tell the truth these days, so those that take no notice, like me, who know can't blame those that think they do.
“Global Civility” is an AI-generated sci-fi cinematic film which is framed through a scientific and anthropological lens, a new paradigm in evolutionary dynamics, and the emergence of civility as a system-level property. The narrative introduces a twist that rivals the movie “The Matrix,” while remaining grounded in scientific reasoning. The film is based on my nonfiction book, “Global Civility: Physical Constructal Law.” youtu.be/2eDqWvMkIo0
izzrl and its criminal allies can NOT be trusted. Every time negotiations were to be made, izrrl bombed and k illlled the negotiators.
Where is your humanity and compassion, you ignorant. The evil regime in Iran massacred more than 30000 young and innocent people in just 2 days. Are you that dumb and stupid that can not understand and comprehend the brutality and danger of this lunatic satanic regime for the whole world when they gain more power? Don't you see that they don't hesitate to kill and destroy anything comes into their way of conquesting the middle east and then the world, in the name of their evil Allah? They have promised to turn the white house into a Mosque and as funny as you would think, they are working towards their sick goal. I see that how they are taking advantage of the stupidity and ignorance of naive and dumb people like you. Wake up, they already have insert their fangs into the most progressive city in the US, which is New York city. It's not a joke...Stupid greedy Britain is supporting them, thinking they can always control this militia force. When they get enough power they swallow the whole freedom and democracy of Europe and the US.Their moto is kill, and be killed in the name of Allah, so you go to heaven
If you trust Iran you’re a complete moron
Whoever wrote this is an idiot time to kill the snake the Iranians are Persian under a Muslim thumb. They can handle it.
