Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

ICE thinks they’re in Vietnam circa the 1970s, not Minneapolis, Minnesota. They’re throwing flash bombs at civilian protesters!
It’s time to roll out the National Guard to shut mutherfuckers down!

Leavitt: "The WH relished the opportunity yesterday to actually create a new website to share the facts with the American public, but also all those in this room. We knew the media would be covering January 6 quite a bit b/c they think it's something the American people still believe their lies on"

Millions of workers are toiling away from their families over the holidays. So thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Pay all workers a living wage.

That’s the con, the felon Donny the Demented
So the money Trump says he’s “giving to our troops” is money that was already supposed to be going to our troops?

Trump pardoned the ex-president of Honduras who shoveled hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. He pardoned the founder of a black market who imported fentanyl from China.
These men poisoned America & killed millions. Whatever Trump’s illegal boat strikes are about, it sure isn’t drugs.

Trump move to pardon Honduras’s ex-president shows counter-drug effort is ‘based on lies and hypocrisy’
Why has Trump blown up alleged narco boats in the Caribbean and at the same time decided to let a big-time trafficker off the hook?

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

A video surfaced showing the brutalization of community members by ICE and the St. Paul, Minnesota PD after ICE abducted two of their neighbors. As a result of the chemical munitions and police beatings, eight people, including a journalist, were hospitalized. 11/25/25
