I can't STAND the STUPIDITY of this regime. Come on people, we have Science with an explanation for these conditions. You just don't want to listen to the truth. Just remember, it's not nice to F'K with Mother Nature. Thank you for your attention to this post. ❄️
The administration, and particularly whoever runs the White House Twitter account, is full of the dumbest people on the planet.

Jack Smith, The Criminality of ICE, & an Utter Lack of Accountability
Without accountability, you get a criminal rapist who incited a violent insurrection re-elected as the President, and he unleashes ICE to serve as his Gestapo. It's time to find the fighters.

Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.
