I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Republicans do love to say the quiet part out loud. They don’t care about the law, the endangering service members, or anything else. They only care about doing a good job covering it up.

So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1
