The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.

I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza.

Elon is destroying American jobs without proving anything. No fraud found. Can't prove that any waste has been saved (jobs usually add value, even in government) and the money not paid out in salaries will likely go to Elon related contracts.

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

The ‘American First’ crowd is awfully quiet about Trump’s pledge to build free housing for 2 million Palestinians in some random country they don’t want to go to that also doesn’t want them. I’m sure this will all work out fine and that’s what people thought they were voting for.

They'd need to ignore any orders from Trump and act in the nations better interest.
From there they could ensure that the unconstitutional EOs being struck down by the courts are NOT enforced.
We suggest they arrest and detain persons ignoring court orders.

It would be ideal if the national guard stepped up and arrested the DC capitol security police.
Speak to your friends, neighbors, relatives who are in the guard and encourage them to speak to their respective units.
If they're going to rip up the constitution, it's time for action.

At some point, and hopefully soon, the national guard will need to be called in to arrest the capitol security police who are enforcing illegal EOs.
