He served alongside American troops in Afghanistan and was vetted by the Trump admin. and granted amnesty in April 2025 by Noem and Homeland Security.
The FBI counter-terrorism unit is run by Thomas Fugate, a 22 year old former Trump campaign worker.
This all on the Trump regime.

They erased us from the textbooks. I’m putting us back in the story.

They buried our truth and hoped we’d stay silent.

ERASED isn’t a book—it’s a weapon.
Read it before they ban it. Share it before they silence it.

Feckless, cowardly Democratic leadership strikes again
Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day.

Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone.

The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place.

WHYYYYY

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

#Trump is going to use the death of the two national guardsman as reasoning for escalating military tactics—

Right wing pundits will disseminate talking points so MAGA knows to feign outrage

Meanwhile the terrorization of minorities by the thousands will continue as they erode our civil rights

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
