Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.
The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.
The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.
Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Yesterday I noticed that Facebook took down the community page that notifies people in Chicago that ICE is nearby. Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of Facebook is Jewish. He should be ashamed that he is enabling Nazi gestapo-like action in Chicago. We all need to fight back and shame the enablers.

This morning, an Israeli man told an MSNBC reporter how happy he was to have the kidnapped hostages come home. Then, I looked at Trump praising himself for making this happen at the same time his people are kidnapping and disappearing people in the US. Quite a do as I say and not as I do moment.

As a retired NEA member & local President, I am apalled & disgusted. The NEA sent roughly 3 million members an email containing a map that erased Israel “completely” & labeled it as Palestine. All NEA members deserve an apology. NEA should do its homework—Jews were the indigenous people of Israel.

Yes people, it has to be us. The victims are not speaking out, using the power they hold to help us. The military will do nothing while the regime is weaponizing the judicial system. We should be a minimum of 74 million on the streets!

The @chicatribune.com posted a misleading headline implying the judge won’t block the deployment.
“Judge doesn't block National Guard deployment to Illinois and gives Trump lawyers 2 days to respond to lawsuit”
She is giving Trump lawyers 2 days to respond before she rules. Do better Tribune.

Republicans plan on cutting healthcare for Americans and laying off more government workers. If Dems were in power, they would not do that. They are not in power, but I am grateful they are fighting this every way they can. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

Don’t dial back demands, Dems. Shut it down!
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is rejecting Democratic demands on health care as unserious but says a government shutdown is still “avoidable” despite sharp divisions ahead of Wednesday’s funding deadline. https://to.pbs.org/46zHkhW
Thune says a shutdown can still be avoided if Democrats 'dial back' their demands
Thune says Democrats are going to have to "dial back" their demands to immediately extend health insurance subsidies and reverse the health care policies Republicans passed over the summer.

Just returned from a trip to the Balkans. We asked each one of our guides regarding their concern about Putin and Ukraine. Every single guide said that they believe Putin is too afraid of NATO to attack them. They also had tactful but strong reactions against the Trump administration. 1/2
