Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Mike Johnson honors the Capitol Police by hiding the plaque in a basement that Congress gave them for protecting elected’s on Jan 6.

He honors Americans by bad-mouthing all who attend the “No Kings” rally.
He’s as unAmerican as they come!

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

Money already approved for projects that Trump is using the shutdown to defund comes from less than 3% of Republican districts, compared with Democratic districts.

📣Protesting is important. It is a visible reminder that we are not alone and that we are not powerless. It sends a message to those weak men in DC: that we will not give up our freedoms without a fight 🇺🇸

See you on Saturday. Bring friends 💪

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

If you're wondering why Donald hasn't done anything to fix the economy, bring down prices, or stop the violence by ICE in our cities . . . he is focused on bigger issues.

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

The president is clearly insane, is on a white supremacist government purging spree, has masked men in the streets abducting people based on their race, is trying to start a war with Venezuela, and is tanking the economy, and none of that would be apparent just going by most corporate news outlets

Someone told him a “wartime president” gets reelected, so now he’s trying to drag us into war with Venezuela.

Under international law (UN Charter, Art. 51), force’s allowed only in self-defense. No war. No threat. Just 6 men killed for a tweet. That’s not strength, it’s lawless.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
