The hypocrisy of ICE-holes does not have a bottom. They have been harassing, assaulting, arresting, and attempting to deport Native Americans for being illegal aliens. You can't make this shit up!

No president has ever made the United States less respected. We're being disrespected like never before. It's incredible. Many people are saying.
Unfortunately, it isn't funny, but we can laugh at him at least. lnk.thebulwark.com/4seItFL

OPINION | Trump's televised manic episode may have set new world records for lunatic, mendacious vapidity, writes @djrothkopf.bsky.social.
It’s Time to Kick Trump, 79, Out of the White House—and Into a Padded Cell
The president’s latest speech to the nation had all the demented energy of one of Hitler’s Nuremberg rallies, without the nuance and decency.

Ailing wannabe dictator yelling at his people and insisting that they're getting richer and safer when all the evidence demonstrates the opposite. This is Gaddafi-levels of lunacy.

ICE are not legitimate federal agents. They are not law enforcement. They have no authority to commit crimes, violate rights, assault and kidnap Americans. Zero. They're criminals with badges and guns.

After Marjorie Taylor Greene held a news conference at which she threatened to name abusers in the Epstein files, Trump called her.
Greene was in her Capitol Hill office. Everyone in the suite of rooms could hear him yelling at her.
According to Greene, Trump replied, "My friends will get hurt."

A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant.
Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court.
Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene.
If they can do it to her, they can do it to you.
Speak out now!
