Trump’s America, 2025: A governor actually pleading with the federal government to allow the children of his state to trick or treat in peace, to enjoy Halloween, without fear of them or their parents being detained by masked federal agents. Shame on us. This must not be our America.πŸ‘‡
Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."
John, in what world is this cool?

If you’re joining MAGA don’t pretend to be a Democrat.

This is a good, factual piece from the Durango Herald. Peaceful protest can and will make a difference. It shows the world the truth about what is happening and who is fomenting violence.
Immigration arrests parent, two children spark demonstrations

Kristi Noem is lying.πŸ‘‡
Kristi Noem: β€œThere's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those that are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting.”

I am motivated by the fact that I don’t think any president should get a blank check to murder as many people as he wants with zero oversight based on his opinion that they were transporting drugs without due process or proof presented to anyone. Jesus would agree with me. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mike Johnson dismisses Democrats criticizing Trump's lawless strikes on boats: "They are motivated out of fear and Trump derangement syndrome."
Reagan was against tariffs and historical records around the world showed this apart from your propaganda channels.

Only 2 judges have sided with ICE.

This land return and tule elk reintroduction is a significant milestone in California's relationship with the Tule River Indian Tribe.

We're taking critical steps to confront the historical wrongs committed by the state against the Native people of this land.

They voted for him...Let them eat their KARMA
Trump is sending ARGENTINA $20B and increasing their beef imports while STARVING AMERICAN FAMIILIES.

There's funding available to help keep food benefits, but Trump just doesn’t want to provide it.

What'll it take for him to start leading the country he actually lives in?

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security quietly formalized sweeping changes to a federal immigration database, turning it into a national β€œvoter verification” tool that appears to sidestep federal privacy protections and will make it easier to remove large numbers of voters from the rolls.

Yes.
Masks were obviously the solution for public outrage that criminals are routinely given jobs to control the population using violence.

Illinois is essentially ending the power RFK Jr. has over state vaccine policy.

They’ve passed a bill through the state legislature to give their state vaccine advisory committee more power, and to require insurance to cover vaccines that the state committee recommends, not ACIP.
