I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

It’s not an accident that Trump pardons all of these traitors/criminals who helped him attempt an insurrection on the day of the end of the shutdown.

Their trials need to be broadcast and required viewing of all grade school children.
I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Republicans admit their only purpose is to stop progress, and stand in the way of the majority of Americans.
Mike Johnson: "Imagine a scenario where they were in charge and they didn't have the filibuster. We would have nationalized elections, they would infringe on our 2A rights, they'd pack the Supreme Court, and they'd make Puerto Rico and DC states."

Trump has shut the government down, is literally tearing down the WH, he’s murdering innocent people with drones, posting AI images of him dropping feces on Americans as a King, unleashed a private white supremacist army to terrorize minorities, and killed our economy with a trade war. Year 1

Trumps cabinet is operating as if there will be never be consequences for their actions. While Trump may never face accountability, we must investigate and prosecute every single conspirator for every single illegal action taken to do his bidding. We can show no mercy. Examples must be made.
