WTF is this.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

Trump’s administration laid off thousands of federal workers, gutting critical departments: Treasury, HHS, and Education.

What we’re seeing now isn’t new. The shutdown is the new excuse. Create chaos, starve the government, and leave folks struggling while Trump’s billionaire buddies get richer.

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.

Why are they rounding up immigrants anywhere? These are the most hard-working people in our country. They work honorable jobs that USians don’t want to do. So, when we’ve purged the immigrants, who will pick our produce, clean our hotel rooms, nanny our kids? For less than minimum wage? You?🌏✌️

Maga ICE is doing their worst to force and push Americans toward violent confrontations. Film them, mock them, and get to know them. Eventually, they will be held accountable.

In an act of unparalleled genius,the Department of Justice requested,and Meta promptly removed, a Facebook page.Why? Because obviously the most pressing issue of our time is ensuring that people don’t know things.Transparency is overrated. Public awareness?Dangerous. Accountability?Totally optional

Republicans are currently going around the media to claim the nationwide peaceful No Kings protest on 10/18 is a “Hate America” rally.

Actually, No Kings is a rally of love—love for the founding ideals of America, love for the democracy and freedoms we cherish, love for one another.

Let’s show it:

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

There is a small positive note. We are all in this together. 350 million of us. The American people are very much a part of this shutdown, and it is only by their voice it will end.

The pressure will build up and up, and this whole thing lands squarely in FDT's lap.

With all these layoffs happening now due to FDT's failed leadership people need to start asking now instead of in April. Why should I pay federal taxes if there is nothing the government is providing any further?

The dominos are falling all around FDT.
