Donald Trump’s new State Department appointee, Darren Beattie announced, "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities and demoralizing competent white men."

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.

This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

We were here 1st.

We can keep congress in constant anxiety by flooding their offices with demands that they work for the people and not the executive branch. We should be in the streets daily being as loud and clear as we can. There are A LOT more of us than them! Time to remind them of that.
