I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

When children have to educate and call out the “adults”
Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Their religion is a fraud — a theater of piety hiding the oldest sin of all: men claiming God’s voice to silence women’s. White Christian nationalism isn’t faith — it’s patriarchy in a pulpit, preaching the gospel of male insecurity and calling it divine truth.

So the Dems that caved are either retiring or not up for re-election until 2028/30. I guess they just picked the least vulnerable to scapegoat. They are underestimating us & the moment. We are fighting for freedom & our livelihoods & they are playing games. They can afford to, we can’t
