Perhaps the white nationalists should adopt this version to carry around their rallies.

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.

Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Yes, she really is “that” stupid.
This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

This is some scary shit—and everyone needs to pay attention because it could affect any one of us.

Rachel Maddow & NPR just blew the lid off Musk’s DOGE team. A whistleblower at the NLRB says they accessed data without authorization and breached security.

The potential motive is pretty shocking.

What if I told you the real driver of MAGA’s plot to rig future elections isn’t Trump?

It’s a fringe lawyer you’ve never heard of.

But her blueprint is taking shape – and it could block millions of Americans from voting.

BIG story you may have missed this week. ⬇️

The Trump administration is committing crimes against humanity right before our eyes.

They are disappearing people who are in this country legally and sending them to El Salvadoran prison camps to be tortured.

Every official involved deserves nothing less than to be tried at The Hague.

Can someone please develop a system in which our federal payroll taxes go into a trust that will only be turned over to the federal government when they have shown they can manage it for all Americans?
