I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.
Stop pretending any of this is normal.
If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Trump’s regime targets top universities like Harvard because their students are taught to think critically. Authoritarians fear those who question them. They only want mindless obedience. Education is a tool of resistance. Labeling students as security threats is a tactic of suppression. Resist.

Anyone still defending SpaceX as a serious organisation is neck-deep in tech-bro Kool-Aid.
It’s no longer a company, it’s a cult propped up by hype, hubris, and government handouts.

Please let me know what does not make sense about this:
AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.
I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense
I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

We are one step away from becoming a Dictatorship.
As soon as The Judicial Branch (Roberts & Supreme Court ) hands over The Power of the Purse to the Executive Branch (Trump)....
It is over.
He & only he decides what to do with our money and our country. It will be his then.
