Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

Kristi Noem lied about this multiple times in press conferences & TV appearances. This confirms the 3 day delay was solely caused by her. It’s an absurdity that the person who leaves govt is this man & not her stupid, incompetent cosplaying ass traveling with her (alleged) lover.

Federal immigration agents can now deport people to countries that aren’t even their own, with as little as six hours’ notice.

This is where the revolution is going to happen - not in the big cities.
The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

So Trump is making the IRS hand over tax data to help deport more immigrants.
But a few years back the entire Republican party had a conniption when the IRS got funding to audit billionaires and big corporations.
Very cool. Totally normal.

So we can't provide healthcare because we're "broke."
We can't guarantee Social Security because we're "broke."
We can't fund education because we're "broke."
But we have $1 TRILLION for the Pentagon and $5 TRILLION for tax breaks that mostly go to the rich?
Give me a break.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.
There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse.
Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.
Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.
