I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Pete Hegseth: “Many presidents dreamed of delivering the final blow to Iran’s nuclear program & none could until President Trump.”

Yes, Pete—Trump finally did what others wouldn’t: ignore intel, destabilize the region, & risk another endless war. Bold move if you’ve learned nothing in 20 years.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

US media is mostly captured by the regime, they'll go on about a Waymo on fire and pretend there are riots, when it is the police and ICE escalating by attacking / kidnapping people.

Meanwhile Trump is trying to sell everyone's data to Palantir in the background.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.

This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded:

“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

The decisive test of our society in my lifetime was the 2024 election and our failure was spectacular and total. I will never again have any faith in the American electorate to do the obviously right thing.
