DEAR DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS‼️
stop talking like there is any possibility of making ICE a better ICE. It’s not happening.
ICE needs to go. Period.
What are you saying? “Let’s make slave catchers nicer.” It’s moral nonsense.

Thousands join 'Hands off Greenland' protests in Denmark against Trump

The U.S Government is now threatening fellow NATO members with 10% tariffs, rising to 25% on 1st June, if we don’t hand Greenland to the mad Emperor in the White House.
I wonder if most Americans even know this is happening?

They are going door-to-door. They are stealing and kidnapping people. They have killed over 30 people so far.
