If you have noticed the regime is lying to you about murdering Americans, I have more news.
They are lying to you about election integrity, about vaccines, about tariffs; they are lying to you about people coming to this country who want to become Americans.
It's ok to change your mind. Watch.

Minnesotans sang outside the hotels where ICE and BP goons are staying, telling them it's not too late to change careers: "It's okay to change your mind. Show us your courage."

When Democrats are in power, we debate who gets health care, and how do we pay for it.
When fascists are in power, we debate who is a human being, and what rights do they have.

IF WE DIRECT THE ICE BUDGET TOWARDS UNINSURED CHILDREN, WE COULD GIVE EACH CHILD $6,524 A YEAR, WHICH MEANS EVERY CHILD IN
AMERICA COULD Have HEALTH
INSURANCE.
CHILD HEALTH INS PLANS AVERAGE $336 PER MONTH FOR CHILDREN UNDER 15 AND $397 FOR 18-YEAR-OLDS. ACA PLANS OFTEN RANGE FROM $120-300+

The notion that Trump's goons are anything but a force formed for the express purpose of extending his personal domination over Americans is, at this point, absurd.

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

"Do not repeat him, do not retweet him" was my mantra on Twitter during his first term.
Do your own framing, use your own wording.
Repeating him, using his framing to answer his lies reinforces what he is saying rather than counters it.
Counter the regimes lies with your own words, not theirs!

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

How do you counter the continual lies from the regime?
Try a "Truth Sandwich" from George Lakoff!
1. State the truth.
2. Point out the lie without using the other sides wording and framing.
3. Repeat the truth

Mr. Rogers taught us, be gentle and clear, to look out for neighbors, especially here. Helping them stay safe, lending a hand twice, protecting them now that we’re on “ICE.”
Mr Roger’s implores us, look around, offer kindness, extend a hand…BE THE HELPER. We should all be each other’s neighbors.

I miss the neighborhood we called America.
People worked to make things better. People worked for more rights for all, worked for more equality.
Now we haven fallen in a dark hole of hate. Many are working to deny rights, deny freedom.
I like the America with expanding freedom.
