Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

ICE NEARBY
BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM:
PRE-PRE-PRE!
→ ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA.

This country was built on the attempted genocide of Native Indigenous Indians by predominately white men.
.

A sign that reads, "Colonial History Lied. When Europe showed up in North America, Indigenous people were not nomads, not few, not savage, not impoverished, not recent immigrants, and were not looking for salvation. Yes, Indigenous people had commerce, travel, economics, permanency, stewardship, inheritances, artistry, drama, ceremony, mourning, health care, politics, justice, penance, peacekeeping, and STILL DO."

They will stop at nothing and we know they do intend to shred the constitution. That has been their long game and they feel they are very close.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

It's the return of TACO!

China is keeping precious metals for itself and not taking our Ag product. Trump threatens massive tariffs, and China says, "Do it!" Trump says, "Never mind."

And stocks are looking at all this as a positive?!? www.cnbc.com/2025/10/12/s...

If you are deranged enough to obsessively lobby for a Nobel Peace Prize, then you should be automatically disqualified from receiving it.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

If this doesn’t scream RETRIBUTION and BLATANT ABUSE OF POWER, I don’t know what does! 😑 This is further PROOF of this administration’s continued ASSAULT on our democratic institutions since January 20, 2025. It is CLEARLY against the rule of law and a blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution.
