If you have not heard of the purple revolution, take a few seconds and watch this TikTok. Maga people that are pushing this are on their own. I voted for the smart black woman who would move us forward.

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

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

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier--

BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for

JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started

BASH: So this is retribution then

This terrified me when I read it. However, at least we are now aware that Dominion was sold and rebranded as Liberty Vote. The new ownership has vowed to follow TACO's election executive orders. That's worrying. However, knowing is half the battle. Forewarned is forearmed.

I don’t blame them. I actually feel sorry for the police in these circumstances because they’re gonna take the brunt of ice’s actions.

CPD is responsible for protecting us.

ICE has been making fake 911 calls so I’m guessing they’re fed up.

I read online that apparently the Chicago police may have ignored ICES calls for backup. Weird things may happen when you mace the department that’s responsible for protecting you..

I have read up on this purple revolution and I don’t trust them one damn bit. No one who voted for Trump was fooled. They just chose to have their head in the sand. The thought of voting for a educated black woman was more that they could handle.

Oh my God, now they’re ICE fishing in Portland. They’ve got long fishing poles with candy bars and other stuff as bait.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.
