After watching the Newark ICE video, it occurred to me that we were watching the kidnapping of a public official by masked, unmarked gestapo. Scary stuff.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

This is not ‘immigration policy’—this is a white supremacist regime targeting Latino bodies. No due process. No justice. Just abduction, torture, and lies in court.
The stats prove immigrants are more law-abiding. So why the terror campaign? Because they’re brown.

Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find
In Thursday night's State of The Union, the murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley took center stage. The suspect is a migrant. Republicans say immigration leads to crime, but there's no evidence of that.

Stop calling them “deportations.” Deportation requires due process of law and simply removes the person from our country.
These people were abducted, trafficked, and enslaved in a concentration camp.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.
If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion.
Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates.
