ICE will be the vehicle, the gestapo empowered by the President, to enforce his will, first among vulnerable undocumented people, then among legal immigrants, then among political rivals, then among citizens who speak out against the Trump grift.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?"
This is our moment. This is our time.
We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Trump is now directing federal law enforcement officials to seek sanctions against attorneys or law firms that challenge his actions in court.
The admin currently faces more than 130 lawsuits.

I used to clean floors and bathrooms for a living, for years. No insurance, trying to make ends meet.
I know what it’s like to work hard and feel like I'm falling behind. I’ve stood in grocery aisles doing the math, hoping I had enough to cover the cart.

This is a flagrant lie. Today he told universities they would be punished if they allowed protests of or criticisms of Israel, a clear violation of the First Amendment.
