A suspect is reportedly in custody. We do not know yet what happened, who did this, or why, but we do know that regardless of the truth, Trump will once again exploit a tragedy, not to end gun violence or bring the nation together, but to justify throwing our neighbors into concentration camps

Donald Trump’s administration has put both the National Guard and everyday Americans at risk by forcing them to occupy our cities.
We hope that everyone involved is ok and makes a swift recovery.

In 2022, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley filed for reelection for a ninth term. He would be 95 at the time of the election and 101 at the end of the term! 🤦♀️
Anyone else agree with me that there should be term limits and mandatory retirement age for the Senate, Congress, and SCOTUS?

This is exactly the sort of thing that is going to require people to go to jail for a very long time if we are to avoid this ever happening again. We're going to be told we need to move on. We've been told that every time since ~1865. Which is why the crises keep happening.

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.
