Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

Oh wow! 🤩

Yep! I went to the St. Peter’s, MO one and even though it poured the whole time all of us said we will keep protesting as long as we need to. Let it rain, storm, snow… whatever. We will still protest because we LOVE our country and we have the constitutional right to peacefully protest. 💙🇺🇸 🪧 🇺🇸 💙

ICE killed a citizen’s dog in their home in front of their family for no reason other than cruelty.
Please call your representatives & senators at 5Calls.org or 202-224-3121 & 202-225-3121 .
ICE’s cruelty & violence is escalating.

Why though?

Janette @stlhandmaid.bsky.social · 4d

Yes. Any distraction to give us a few precious minutes away from the hellscape we are currently living in.

I think they were going to deploy drones.

Listen to this nurse: when families can’t afford food or rent, doubling their health premiums will push them off insurance. Communities will suffer. People will die.

And what did Republicans do?
They shut down the government and took a vacation. #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

Trump is stooping so low that he’s gutting the federal Office of Special Education.

Attacking students with disabilities is wrong. Every child in America deserves a fair shot at success.

A government that targets citizens against fascism and dictatorships, isn’t a government worth keeping.
