Like a health savings account, this kind of thing might be useful for the top 25% who have some extra cash.

"Immigration enforcement" is a feint.
Someday years from now any of us may be in a social setting with a guy who just mentions that he was an ICE agent in 2026.
At that point we are all morally obligated to out that guy and ostracize him from society.
They need to wear this shit for a lifetime.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

The letter Bondi wrote to Gov Walz is nothing short of a ransom demand.
ICE holds the state hostage and will leave when MAGA demands are met.
It's never been about immigration.

#GVerse Chicago turnout this morning was INSANE.
Thousands hit the streets demanding justice for Alex Pretti and calling out the federal crackdown that killed him.
This isn’t “local unrest” anymore. It’s national.

Independents will decide upcoming elections. (Let's assume for the sake of argument that there will be elections in the future.)
Are we better off than a year ago?
Independents: 24% yes and 52% no.
No wonder Trump is suing the pollsters. LOL

On Saturday, federal agents horrifically shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who cared for veterans, in the Eat Street neighborhood of south Minneapolis after brutally beating him in front of witnesses. Enough is enough. #NoKings #ICEOUTforGood #AbolishICE

Yes, they're hell bent making the murder of those who dissent seem legal and reasonable.
Cuz in this fascist regime, anyone who dissents is a domestic terrorist and an enemy of the state.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.
