ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

GEORGE WILL, on #ICE:

“.. Something uncivilized is indeed happening. What jobs, if any, are recruits leaving for the glory of donning battle gear and masks (hiding what from whom?) .. and throwing unarmed people to the ground?”

As someone who’s served in uniform, I know what real public service looks like.

ICE detaining firefighters while a wildfire rages?

That’s not it.

NEVER FORGET: President Biden added subsidies to Medicare Part D (those on Original/Traditional Medicare with or without Extra Help) for 2024, 2025, and 2026, & was going to permanently include them to KEEP the costs down. Well, The Trump Administration REPEALED them & that's why your PREMIUMS ARE 🚀

If he is not locked up briefly (24 hours) he is not going to understand the severity of his conduct, nor will anyone in his entire organization.

A group of US women kicked out a Nazi, while a group of US men stood around doing nothing.

People around the world are noticing that it is women who are leading the fight against fascists in the US. Whether it is Nazis or ICE.

Great news! The courts have declared that Rubén Torres Maldonado was illegally detained by ICE and a bond hearing to secure his release must be held by Oct 31st.

I am proud to be part of a coalition fighting to ensure that families remain together and the rule of law is upheld.
