Something that gets missed in the Trump “kill the drug runners” campaign is the FACT that drugs are being smuggled into the US because Americans want to buy them🙄
If Americans didn’t buy illicit drugs, cartels wouldn’t send product to the US🤨

Don’t let the Trump administration’s threats stop you from speaking up and peacefully protesting when you see masked men assaulting innocent civilians.
Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here.
Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Trump Demands Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million.
Blatant case of double dipping. He raised legal defense funds from his donors. He never used his own money to pay legal expenses. Now he’s demanding the government reimburse him for money donors gave him. Is he going to reimburse his donors?

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.
📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

We could’ve had this talented intelligent woman leading our country instead of the daily threats and chaos emanating from the White House🤨

Conservative justices are enabling a unitary executive. Giving Donald unrestrained power gives an unstable person the immense power of the federal government. No person should have that much unchecked power, especially not Donald Trump whose corrupt intent is on daily display.
