ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Major scoop from Status: Trump is reportedly terrified of an upcoming Wall Street Journal story revealing new info about him and Epstein—so much so, he reportedly called the WSJ editor-in-chief to try to kill it.

Trump's WSJ Epstein Fury

The Wall Street Journal is said to be working on a story highlighting Donald Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, prompting protest from the White House.

Stages 3 and above indicate chronic venous insufficiency. Given Trump's swollen ankles and alterations in color to Trump's skin, he is likely, at minimum, stage 3 or 4.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, per @PressSec. This is a condition where veins have trouble sending blood from the legs back to the heart, often due to damaged valves. This can lead to blood pooling in the legs, causing various symptoms and complications.

Alligator Alcatraz is already infamous for its dangerous and inhumane conditions.

Congress must demand access and shut it down.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is an environmental and humanitarian disaster. The cruelty must end. Join me in telling Congress to demand access and block all federal funds until this compound is shut down.

ICE are attacking and torturing brown people in concentration camps. None of this is ok & it’s only a matter of time before they come for all of us, if we don’t stand up to this evil shit.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
