The #Liz48 Plan: This Is How We Remove Them—Legally, Quickly, and Nonviolently
The way to get rid of Trump—and his entire corrupt, inept Administration—is to cut the line of presidential succession. Here's the entire ten-step process.

I've been wracking my brain for months, trying to figure out how we can get rid of not just Trump, but also Vance and the entire monstrous Cabinet.
#Liz48 is what I've come up with. Please share this.

I wrote this before I learned Trump is pressuring the states not to cover the SNAP lapse. Monstrous people. Murderers.

I really hope that when this ends— because it IS going to end— every last person responsible for these abominable abuses of power rots in prison for the rest of their miserable lives.

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

Guys, it’s totally cool, the gang of unidentified masked ICE agents armed like it’s Fallujah only burst into the daycare because they were in hot pursuit of a “female illegal alien.”
What were they supposed to do, identify themselves properly & produce a warrant? Wait until the kids had left? Fie!

Stormtroopers of the ICE Gestapo get their jollies from unprovoked violence.
Arrest them. Change them. Imprison them.

Excessive force. PERIOD!
They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.
