Open letter to our Senators:

Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.

We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

My loathing for Merrick Garland and the Democratic Establishment's timidity, fecklessness, and cowardice increases by the day.

The desire for restoration instead of transformation; the desire for civility over justice.

So many years wasted when there could have been bold accountability...

Trump only won in 2016 because of Jim Comey and the electoral college

He lost in 2020 by a wide margin when incumbents did well

He won in 2024 by a narrow margin during a major global anti-incumbent backlash

He has never been popular

There is a very good chance less than a year from now dems will control the house, the senate, and the vast amount of state governments. One thing we should tell the buisness community is that there will be consequences for treating Trump like he was the only person in the usa that mattered.

Thank the Big Beautiful Bill. New federal work requirements for SNAP begin this week, stripping long-standing exemptions for veterans, foster youth, and some parents. An even greater hunger crisis looms.
Trump’s SNAP rules are about to imperil food access for millions
New work rules take effect this week, cutting access to one of the nation’s most vital anti-hunger programs.

Texas fire department helps ICE detain roofers—using tower ladder truck that should be reserved for local emergency.

Agents grab at workers' legs to yank them off multi-story house—even using pepper spray atop roof.

Firefighters did equip ICE with safety harness for this risky series of maneuvers.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

I'm a reporter and editor with Task & Purpose. I want to talk to VA employees, better yet Minneapolis VA ones. What has the VA said to you after Alex Pretti's death? Has there been any message? Any asks not to discuss? What? Will protect sources, use 1st names only, etc. Signal handle is nslayton.12

They gave a bunch of roided up thugs weapons and made them immune from legal consequences. You can't really tinker around the edges of something like that, you have to end it

The co-founder of Latinas for Trump is now condemning Trump’s ICE raids:

“I’m afraid of someone stopping my son.”

“This is not what we voted for.”

I'm voting no on DHS funding.

Masked agents are operating in our streets and hurting people with zero accountability. It’s un-American.

If you’re upset and want to help, call your senators and representatives and tell them this chaos needs to stop.

and an additional fuck you to everyone who said we were overreacting during the patriot act and creation of DHS.

Jack Smith reminds us that the cases against Trump were dismissed “without prejudice.” Meaning they could be brought again.

Yes!
Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities.

That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment.

We deserve better, she’s gotta go.
