Come on Democrats and show us your words in action.
The United States sorely needs an opposition party right now.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Why are Democrats unable to convince Republicans in both houses of Congress of the long term damage they've enabled and see the truth of what their leader has wrought?
Funding for DHS was "stopped"—yet that terrorist organization and the gestapo ICE are still on their violent crime spree.
We have no representative government, just a brutal despotism ruling by force. Only WE THE PEOPLE can stop this. Do not look for a savior. SHUT IT ALL DOWN until we WIN.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.
DEA?!? Gotta be a “task force.”

Is it at all likely that God who most Republicans claim to worship has slipped a veil over their eyes so they do not comprehend the destruction they are enabling by fearing 47 and consequences of standing against him?

Tell it to Congress!!!!!!!
Gavin Newsom: “ You will not have a country if he rigs this election — you will have a president who will be running for a third term
He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. He's a lawless president. Wake up, America — wake up to what's going on”

I can't think of anything less patriotic than allowing a corrupt pedophile to suspend the constitution so he can murder citizens, enrich himself, and imprison journalists.

We're in a time in American history where the president of the United States is sending FBI agents out to help rig the midterms. This is not an administration, it's a mafia doing their dirty work for all to see & I am FURIOUS at everyone who helped normalize this level of crime in our government.

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering.
Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law.
Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

Convince 47's cronies in both houses of Congress that they are enabling this cruelty and evil.
Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

If only Gov. DeWine had chosen to practice his Christian faith in an earlier Trump emergency.
"Late last week, word came from GOP Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine that it was time to “activate the churches,” as one leader put it — in other words, to prepare to provide emergency care and short-term housing to children separated from their parents." 19thnews.org/2026/01/ice-...
Fear, faith and preparation as ICE closes in on an Ohio community
In Springfield, faith-based coalitions are creating emergency hubs to care for children — and churches are preparing for their sanctuaries to be breached.

People seem to have forgotten that the establishment of Homeland Security was highly controversial as it was seen as a danger to democracy. It was feared that it would one day be used AGAINST the American people. And here we are.
