The app ICE agents use taps into a master database of everyone in the US, citizens and non citizens alike. That means you and me in the system, our social media linked, searchable and treated as potential threats to the state. Yo, FUCK ICE!
This is what DOGE was doing while MAGA screamed “Freedom!”

This is how it’s done! @abigailspanberger.com’s first act as Governor of Virginia is to repeal Glenn Youngkin’s executive order that mandated state and local law enforcement cooperate with ICE.

This hit me in my soul. The proxy pain I feel in what had to be a frightening moment for her, pains me to my core. My heart, empathy, recognition and acknowledgment of those just trying to survive in a country that shits on them at every opportunity, but keep trying. This IS what you voted for…🖕🏾 U
I can’t get the face of this autistic woman out of my mind.
She was driving through an area where ICE was active when they forcibly removed her from her car. She was on her way to a brain injury clinic appointment. She screamed as they carried her away that she was autistic and had a brain injury.

Trade agreements with Trump are worthless. Meaningless. If he hits a bad golf shot he will jump in his cart, grab his phone, and fire off a post revoking one, or changing one. It looks like that may finally be starting to sink in, although China seems to have known it all along.

Democracy's worst enemy is not a shameless liar, sore loser, felon and child rapist who hoodwinked a minority of eligible voters into letting him turn the U.S. into an imperialist police state to enrich himself and criminal cronies.
It’s 89 million eligible voters who didn't think voting mattered.

Letting Jan6th insurrectionist’s mask up, terrorize our cities, and murder anyone in their way.
That’s not immigration reform, it’s an international crime against the people of America.

It's Sunday, so I'd like to remind Trump and Republicans that lying is a sin.
Just like the insurrection we watched unfold on live TV, Trump and his Nazi Gestapo want you to believe that Renee Good's murder didn't happen either.

Appeasing Trump always produces the opposite result the appeasers are hoping to achieve. There are thousands of examples over decades, but somehow people still don’t get it. Bill Cassidy and Europe found out yesterday. Someone else will find out today, then another tomorrow.
