You think one mainstream Dem mentioned abolishing ICE when we started calling for it!? Six years ago.
John Fetterman, Chuck Schumer. These are your Democrats. Spineless. As they have been for decades.

From 👮‍♂️ Eric Adams to 🚙-less Muslim Zohran Mamdani, who’s so anti-Semitic he saved an historical Yiddish bookstore…

Yeah, in a New York Minute, everything can change — well, except the built-in police state

ICE ABDUCTED THIS PRESCHOOL TEACHER! They stormed into the preschool endangering children.

This woman has a permit to work here, but Trump's brutal forces slammed her, face first through the door & detained her anyway.

This could happen at your children's school.

This both enrages me and makes me sad. thejhansiway is a content creator on YouTube and IG. Excellent. Funny. Timely. And she was targeted in a way where she felt unsafe staying in this country.
We must do better as a nation.

• Stop inflation: Rose from 3.2% to 4%+
• $2 gas: Energy costs UP 15%
• Free IVF: Executive order changes nothing
• No tax on tips/Social Security: unfulfilled

There’s a viral claim that no Moms for Liberty–endorsed candidates won “contested” school-board races this week. That claim is false. Not many wins, but not zero.

A short 🧵 on how selective wording can turn misinformation into something that sounds true.
