ICE raids Walgreens in Chicago—older white agent tackles Black man to the ground—arrests him for "running."

"He's a U.S. citizen! He's American!" a woman yells. "He's my brother-in-law!"

Store location was forced to close "because of everything with ICE"—manager told the rest of the customers.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

He has already been arresting and deporting people of color - even some who are American citizens.
How long until he tries to outlaw opposition parties?

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.
A tweet by Robert Reich reads: “The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”

Trump’s proven he’d rather shut down the gov than stop health insurance premiums from soaring by thousands of dollars a year from millions of hardworking Americans. He’s taking away health care from 14+millions to keep those huge tax breaks for the super rich.

If you disagree with what I wrote below, I support your right to disagree in a democracy. But Trump's ICE Gestapo varies from Germany's in only one way. ICE isn't arresting Jews forced to wear Stars of David on their sleeves, they're arresting people whose badge is the color of their skin.

The news of what the Trump fascists are doing to America gets worse every day. They won't be happy until they've destroyed our democracy and beaten or arrested every American citizen who opposes their illegal and immoral actions. We are reliving what Hitler did in Nazi Germany. #ResistTrumpFascism
