Trump is in it for himself, 100%. His sole aims are to expunge his intolerable 2020 loss and become immeasurably wealthy. He cares nothing for America. Even Stephen Miller's extreme cruelty is just a side benefit.

Small business owners represent the American Dream. But the fear and uncertainty caused by Operation Metro Surge has been a crushing blow to business.

We need an end to this campaign of retribution and we need to reopen Minnesota for business.

After all the invertebrates we've been seeing driving dem leadership, it's so heartening to see these public servants doing their jobs with appropriate fury.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Terris: When I got to the Oval Office, there were two men standing there holding pieces of paper that said “talking points.” I’m not sure I was supposed to see that—and those turned out to be his doctors.

Call it what it is, @nbcnews.com. Concentration camp.
Every time.

The OED defines a concentration camp as “a camp in which large numbers of people, esp. political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities.”
👀
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

Trump murdered an ICU nurse THEN called him a terrorist.

Alex Pretti saved lives for a living.

Trump repaid this American citizen with TEN BULLETS and is now lying about it.

Anyone who supports this brutal lynching should be considered an accomplice and dealt with accordingly.

Isn't that what they said about Russia taking Ukraine? Canada will not go down without a fight and American military, if they are willing to invade their ally full of friends and family, better be prepared for good trouble when you head over the border. 🇨🇦👊🏻

Where we are:

"... Military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days."

Such an order is still seen as unlikely, the officials add.
