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

Trump and Republicans in Congress are willing to let 16 million kids in America go hungry to make a political point.

Disgusting.

Mr. President: Release the SNAP emergency funds that Congress appropriated.

I’ll be glad when we run this regime out of power and we do something about those ICE assholes.

They should be tried for their crimes against humanity.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An Oregon man and U.S. citizen is seeking damages after he said he was stopped and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement without cause.

Frank Miranda said he was detained outside his Northeast Portland workplace early Thursday morning by masked plain-clothes ICE officers, even after he told them he is a U.S. citizen.

The Trump regime is building a massive human trafficking operation run by armed contractors.

Remember Acting ICE Director, Todd Lyons, said, “We need to get better at treating [deportation] like a business… like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings.”

Always follow the money—you’ll find the Nazis.

ICE Wants to Build a Shadow Deportation Network in Texas

A new ICE proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Every time you order from Amazon, you're destroying something.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

The Trump regime has murdered at least 59 civilians in the Caribbean. At least one survivor has washed up on the coast of Mexico where the Mexican navy rescued him. The presidents of Colombia and Mexico have spoken out against the Trump led murders. Both countries are US allies.

Blue states are suing to get those funds released. Trump would rather see poor kids starve while he builds his ballroom.

Marco Foster shares a quote from Lawrence O’Donnell: “Even though the Agriculture Department has enough money to continue to fund food stamps during the government shutdown, Donald Trump is ordering them not to fund food stamps. 40% of the people fed by SNAP are children. Donald Trump and Republican senators are basically saying let them starve. Republicans did this.”
The image below shows O’Donnell speaking on MSNBC, with “Republicans did this” displayed beside him.

The Trump administration spending ledger:

✅ $40 billion for Argentina
✅ $230 million for Trump's grievances against the Department of Justice
✅ $300 million for a golden ballroom
❌ $0 to save 42 million Americans from hunger
❌ $0 to stop your health care costs from going up 30%

“There’s absolutely more need, but less food. It’s bad.”

The shutdown is pushing federal workers to food banks, just as SNAP is set to expire.

I just want to point out that I have NEVER called Stephen Miller "Satan's Butt Plug."

What I ACTUALLY said was that Stephen Miller's HEAD was Satan's Butt Plug.

And I wish people would stop twisting my words.
