I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost
Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million
(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.
The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

It’s wild America thinks it’s a country where criminals are treated with a cushy lax attitude with law enforcement prevented from doing their jobs when every piece of evidence is that it’s the opposite except for rich people who don’t commit crimes because why would they have money if they did that
