I hate hate hate most of what my tax dollars are paying for but especially the money spent to detain and deport immigrants. So much of what I admired about the U.S. has been ruined by this administration. #DEI #PublicEducation #FreeSpeech #SeparationofPowers and #church&state

My second book, "All My Silent Years" is about the authoritarian takeover of Cambodia in the 1970s. I never ever thought it could happen here in the U.S. but lately I fear it has already begun.

Servant leadership at its finest
Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

“Retribution is seductive like that, promising a clean line between good and evil. But it’s an illusion. I know, because I felt its pull.” Quote from “The Beast in Me” on Netflix. An incredible look at what drives people to harm others #Trump & the #GOP should see how it ends

Great read from Dan Rather:
"...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..."

“Things happen” -President Trump said
He said this about a journalist who was killed and dismembered
Not my president

Trump thinks he’s the greatest showman but his regal welcome ceremony for the Saudi Crown Prince is an insult to All of us. What happened to America First? He just keeps building his personal empire abroad. $$$$ is all he thinks about

I’m guessing #Trump has been named a whistleblower so he will be redacted from the #Epstein files yet it’s obvious to all he partied with Epstein and paid Maxwell off to remain quiet— it’s all a disgrace. I hope the FULL record is released for the sake of the brave survivors

I’m glad they are suing
In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.

Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.
These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why
ICE agents raided, arrested workers at a Georgia battery factory in September.

Trump is really not a great negotiator, he’s just willing to inflict maximum pain without any compassion whatsoever. He’s ruthless and shows no remorse. I don’t understand how he gets away with all he does to disparage, hurt and rob people of jobs and freedom We all deserve better

Really? How do you all feel about this?
#GVerse Um. WTF???

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."

This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.
