Senate Democrats must refuse to rubber-stamp a spending bill that pours billions into DHS funding ICE violence against Americans like Alex Pretti and Renée Good. Funding without guardrails greenlights more deaths. Accountability isn’t optional—it’s owed to human dignity. #StopFundingDeath
Funding deal begins to unravel as Senate Democrats vow to oppose DHS bill over Alex Pretti shooting in Minnesota
If senators fail to act by midnight Friday, funding for Homeland Security and the other agencies covered under the six bills will lapse.

Alex Pretti didn’t charge agents or threaten anyone. Witnesses say he raised his hands, held a phone, and tried to help a woman knocked to the ground. From five feet away, agents opened fire. This wasn’t enforcement—it was an institution punishing compassion. #JusticeForAlex

If anyone else killed a man, locked out investigators, seized evidence, then begged a judge to let them destroy it, they’d disappear into a cell for life. Trump’s team does it in daylight and calls it procedure. This isn’t justice—it’s a crime scene with a press office. #CoverUpInPlainSight
Trump Team Demands Right to Destroy Evidence in Alex Pretti Shooting
A judge ruled over the weekend that the government is barred from “destroying or altering” evidence related to the investigation.

Truth dies first. Trump, Noem, and Bovino didn’t wait for evidence—they manufactured villains. Video says “phone,” they shout “terrorist.” That’s not error; it’s doctrine. Power lies, repeats, and dares you to believe your own eyes. This is how rights are buried. #LiesOnLoop

A peaceful citizen records the state. The state kills him. Then officials smirk at the evidence and improvise lies—“terrorist,” “assassin”—hoping repetition will outrun truth. This is how rights are violated twice: first by force, then by contempt for accountability. #CongressMustAct

Never forget this image.

A human being lost his life to unchecked power in the White House and a Congress that refused accountability. This isn’t partisan—it’s a warning. When institutions abandon the rule of law, people die. Remember him. Demand better. #Midterms2026 #VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt

When GOP gun groups denounce the state, something is rotten. Video contradicts the feds, yet they smear a lawful gun owner to excuse lethal force. Pretti’s 1st and 2nd Amendment rights didn’t vanish at a protest. If they can erase his, they can erase yours. #RightsArentOptional #JusticeForPretti

The Trump ICE fascist death squad kills an unarmed ICU nurse in broad daylight—then quietly REASSIGNS the agents, "caring for their safety," instead of firing them. This is state violence with a green light. We demand accountability, not reshuffles for killers. #AbolishICE #JusticeForPretti

47 is looting America. He has been grifting and keeping his secrets about his underaged children pedophile at Epstein island. It would take 35 republicans to oust him. But they have no spine. Follow and protest wherever you are able

States don’t wake up evil; they slide there. Masked agents, impunity, and a dead American whose “gun” was a phone—this is how power teaches itself to kill the innocent and call it order. History warned us what happens when law forgets humanity.

History doesn’t repeat itself—it warns. The uniforms change. The kneeling bodies don’t. When state power treats dissent as a crime, brutality isn’t a bug—it’s the design. The past isn’t “over” if we keep reenacting it in real time. #StateViolence #NeverAgainIsNow

When police arrest the wrong person:

The arrest is public
The name is released
The damage is permanent, even if charges are dropped

When police kill the wrong person:

The officer is shielded
The name is withheld
Accountability is delayed or diluted

That’s not neutrality. It’s hierarchy.

Another unarmed American killed by federal agents is not a “tragic incident” — it’s a symptom of a violent policy machine run amok. ICE agents should protect people, not slaughter them. Every life deserves dignity, not a bullet. This is un-American violence, not “law enforcement.”

Detaining a five-year-old as leverage, using a child as bait, rewriting terror as “care”—these are tactics history taught us to fear. They echo coercive policing perfected by the Nazi SS: dehumanize, isolate, intimidate, then launder cruelty with bureaucratic lies. #NeverAgain #ProtectChildren

Media’s job is not comfort—it’s clarity. Treating Trump’s most extreme threats as “noise” while canonizing his walk-backs as policy isn’t neutrality; it’s distortion. Power learns fast: say the outrageous, retreat once, get sane-washed. That’s how accountability dies. #DoYourJobMedia

Jack Smith issued a warning, not a slogan: the rule of law survives only if enforced. He said the evidence proved Trump’s crimes beyond a reasonable doubt—then watched power dodge accountability. Democracies don’t die loudly; they rot when justice is optional. #RuleOfLaw #DemocracyOnTheLine

Watch the timing. Do sudden tariff threats, alliance shocks, or legal chaos hit markets—then get softened days later? Repeated whiplash that predictably creates dips is a tell. Volatility that follows rhetoric, not data, is a signal worth tracking.

Jack Smith didn’t hedge, posture, or tease clicks. He said it plainly: proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump committed crimes. Smith’s career isn’t built on stunts or fake charges—it’s built on restraint. That’s why this terrifies Trump. #EvidenceMatters #RuleOfLaw

Jack Smith warned that Trump’s project isn’t justice—it’s revenge. A man who promises retribution for investigators is confessing contempt for law itself. Democracies fall when vengeance replaces accountability. This is the line. Cross it, and power devours rights. #RuleOfLaw #NoRevengeState
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Are markets being purposefully steered to enrich Trump’s oligarch circle? Banks surge on deregulation, crypto donors get cases dropped, fossil giants feast—then we’re told it’s “confidence.” If policy reliably fattens patrons, that’s not a market. It’s a machine. #OligarchEconomy #FollowTheMoney
