I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area.
2. Watch the local newscast
3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts.
4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company.

I got a marketing email from the #SSA Social Security Adm for the first time yesterday. And it was a lie. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
Social Security Administration sends misleading email lauding Trump's new tax cuts law
The emails say nearly 9 in 10 Social Security beneficiaries won't pay income taxes on their benefits in the future. But the Trump tax law did not directly address Social Security.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
