This is what you voted for⁉️
Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies.
Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

People are starving in Gaza. Israel is blocking international aid from getting in, and has shot and killed dozens as they approach the woefully inadequate aid Israel itself is providing.
Now, they’ve blocked this flotilla of activists trying to bring attention to the problem. Outrageous & shameful.

As a Hispanic Dem leader in FL, I’m deeply moved and grateful for this man’s empathy.
The ICE raids are not his problem, and yet his tears are filled with concern and pain as an American for a community outside his own.

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me.
FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Appalling treatment of people who legally reside in the United States. This country was a democracy until 71 days ago.
Lewelyn Dixon has been a LEGAL US resident for **50 YEARS**
She works as a lab tech and union member at the University of Washington.
ICE abducted her at the Seattle airport and is ILLEGALLY detaining her.
We won't stand for ICE randomly disappearing our neighbors! #4The1st
