I’m Alex Vindman and I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Chaos, corruption and sky-rocketing costs are crushing ordinary people, while the billionaires and career politicians profit.
I stepped up when my country needed a soldier and now I’m stepping up again to fight for Floridians.

Photos captured by Mobile Fortify will be stored for 15 years, regardless of immigration or citizenship status, the document says. But it has its flaws (tbc below)

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz.

Governors and mayors and courts that do not take immediate action to stop ICE, to expel it from our cities and towns, to hold it accountable for its crimes, to ensure it works within the law, are failing at their jobs. It will require strength and confrontation and struggle. But it must happen.
