Trump’s Storm Troopers have moved into Minneapolis and New Orleans with the same brutality that they’ve used in every other city they’ve invaded.
Let’s see how long they can operate like this before the citizens run them out like the cowards they are.

Wake up people, the emperor has no clothes!!
Trump is a totally incompetent moron leading us toward the cliff.

JUST SAY IT!
Trump is crazy, he’s lost his damned mind!
Everyone knows that he should be removed from office, whether they’ll say it aloud or not.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

We haven’t heard much from the militia groups (Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Boogaloo Bois, etc) that were so prominent in and after Trump’s first term.
We now have roving groups of unidentifiable goons and thugs terrorizing immigrant communities all over our country.
Could they be one and the same?

Remember when we were all about taking down terrorists and the networks that financed them?

Now they get red carpet treatment at the White House, presidential pardons and investment opportunities with America.

Times sure have changed.

Shumer’s 8
The deal that Schumer made with the eight senators to break the filibuster is so corrupt that it stinks.
Two of them are leaving Congress this year (Durban & Shaheen) while the other six aren’t up for reelection in ‘26.
All chosen to avoid immediate consequences.

Great video about what’s happening in the Senate. Still time to apply pressure on key senators.
Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.
