I walked past this woman and her two daughters, one was on a tricycle and reached out her little hand with this flower and said, "this is for you, you can have it." It's was literally the sweetest gesture. I instantly started feeling better!

Another innocent person murdered in cold blood by ICE
Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

Yesterday, over 30,000 people protested against ICE in below-zero temperatures. Amazing work, everyone. Minnesota strong. Tomorrow, there will be more of us.

The US is being terrorized by a domestic terror organization called ICE.
They are going door-to-door. They are stealing and kidnapping people. They have killed over 30 people so far.
We are being terrorized by the US government and what you have to do first is acknowledge it.

Something a judge shouldn't even have to specify but we have the most corrupt and apathetic administration in this countries history
A major victory. A federal judge has ruled that ICE must stop targeting peaceful protesters and legal observers who are not suspected of any crimes.

They are not ice “raids”. They are ice abductions or ice murders.

Things that shouldn't be said but sadly need to be said
PSA: If ICE bursts down your door, put your dogs or other animals in a cage or a closed room. ICE agents have been trigger-happy before. Let someone know they are there.

There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying.

Found this neat Ajax Ghost Exterminators cap at AtomicHorror in Orlando! So, I decided to buy a matching shirt from Hot Topic 🎃.
👻Ajax Ghost Exterminators consisted of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in the 1937 animated short, "Lonesome Ghosts." You can watch the 10-minute short on Disney+👻
