There’s no 2 sides to what’s happening in Minneapolis. ICE is WRONG. They need to LEAVE. Terrorizing your own people puts us on the same level as China, Russia, or North Korea. A year ago we were a DEMOCRACY. Now we’re living in fear within our own borders.

Lately there has been a lot of people on BlueSky demanding that Americans to go turn violent on ICE agents.
I’m sure that some of them are genuinely just frightened and misguided.
But some of them are actively trying to insight violence because that is what is called for in project 2025.

It's simple, like Nancy has warned us, with Trump, all roads lead to Putin. So Trump's use of the childish excuse that b/c he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, he's going to conquer Greenland & alienate NATO to such an extent that they kick America out of it, has been Putin's lifelong dream.

ICE steals people.

So I say this as a Christian and a pastor…yes, that is exactly where people should have been protesting.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

Apparently, the other countries & their world leaders also did not read P2025.
We had a preview of all of this shit during the first term yet now people are shocked.
The media has kept us in a state of ignorance & “shock & awe”.
It works perfectly for the human psyche. Extremely effective.

Love how the president of the United States, who historically couldn’t manipulate the stock market, is tanking our economy and whatever retirement funds millions of us have.
As always, thank you John Roberts and Mitch McConnell.

Hi, I'm a powerful billionaire who just wrote a letter to another country suggesting that I could just take something without consent if they can't defend it. I'm also implicated in a child sex scandal regarding children who can't defend themselves. Anyway, probably nothing.

We need US troops with the guts to disobey unlawful orders. Attacking US citizens expressing their 1st Amendment rights is not a legitimate reason to use military force upon the public. Nor is attacking a US NATO ally unprovoked. If you're military and don't agree, then you're a pussy.

For Trump, it's all about Russia and pleasing Putin. Always has been, always will be. This began with their private meetings in Helsinki in 2018. No record of what was discussed at these meetings exists. Donald Trump is a useful idiot and a stooge for Putin. America is on the edge of catastrophe.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
