False Saviorism. Start the fire, then act like a hero for putting it out.

Trump uses $12 billion from tariff revenue to bail out farmers HE hurt by collecting tariff revenue.

He did the same thing in 2018.

BTW, the 12 billion comes from us. WE'RE bailing out farmers with our tariffs tax.

IMO, combatting ICE should be our #1 priority.

People are finding creative ways to run them out of town or otherwise block them, but it should be the task of every Gov, State Law Enforcement, State AG, Mayors, & MOC's to devise one plan & communicate it to us.

We need proactive - not reactive.

From where I am standing, I know this is the movement I have been working toward. I feel the rafters shaking and the walls moving. I feel the aftershock of the work that went into Aftyn’s race and how it’s rippling out into red states across the country.
