Today, people across the entire country will withhold their labor, withhold their dollars, and take to the streets to protest Trump’s ICE thugs terrorizing Minneapolis.

Solidarity with everyone participating.

Let this be one of many actions we take to fight back against this regime.

The Trump regime arrested four journalists, including former CNN anchor Don Lemon, today.

This blatant suppression of the First Amendment is part of a larger plan: to control not just what we do, but what we see and access. Watch. https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?si=Gk1jawFu20cRuJ1-

FWIW, declaring martial law does not stop elections.

Trump abuses his power when people believe he can. If enough of us erroneously believe it, it only gives him more power.

At a certain income level you can just hire a house manager/personal assistant if you don't want to deal with anything domestic. They take over everything you do not want to do. I have a friend who does it for a major celeb and I am pretty sure they have no idea how anything works in their home

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

It does seem strange Trump has completely lawless people looking for supposed lawless immigrants 🤔🤨. One thing for sure, this administration is fascist,racist,bigoted and vile. And we’ve all seen their hypocrisy. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Everyday is another chapter in Trump chaos.

When are people going to realize that opposition to Trump is not about Democrats versus Republicans, it has everything to do with one man, void of morals and principles, one man who exists for one man, Donald Trump. It's not that complicated.

This times 1000.
You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Another day, another person angry at the idea that learning from history might stop us from repeating it. I know this is a wild idea, but if the idealism worked we wouldn't be here. Perhaps doing something else instead of doing the same thing over and over for the same shit results is an option
Another day, another post where someone pretends not to know the difference between popular American ideals and actual American actions as if it is in any way an interesting, useful, or provocative thing to say.
I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

Trump is doing what Hitler did. It can't be said more simply or more completely. Hitler had fascists helping him too. He also had a political Party doing his bidding. This Republican Party is exactly what Hitler had while he murdered German citizens. Americans have died.

Congress refuses to impeach him like the Constitution says we are SUPPOSED TO DO, so I'm really not sure what is left to pay attention to. Media do not understand the 1st Amendment.

Trump, in the last 48 hours, has damaged the USA , more than any other time period, in its 250 year history.

🖋️ “ICE Has No Authority to Detain U.S. Citizens” hit 100 signers!

💬 Text SIGN POOEAG to 50409
ICE Has No Authority to Detain U.S. Citizens
Text SIGN POOEAG to 50409 — I am writing to remind you of a basic and indisputable point of law: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has no legal authority whatsoever to detain, arrest, or hold United States citizens for immigration enforcement purposes. ICE’s jurisdiction is strictly limited to the enforcement of federal immigration laws, which by definition apply only to non-citizens. The detention of U.S. citizens by ICE—whether through negligence, reckless disregard, or willful abuse of power—is unlawful and a direct violation of constitutional rights, including the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. Any detention of a U.S. citizen by ICE constitutes an illegal seizure. It exposes the federal government to civil liability and represents a profound failure of oversight by Congress. When this occurs, it is not a “mistake” to be brushed aside—it is a breakdown of the rule of law. As my elected representative, you have a sworn duty to uphold the Constitution and to provide oversight of federal agencies operating under your authority. That duty includes ensuring ICE complies with the law, implementing meaningful accountability when violations occur, and taking immediate corrective action when Americans’ rights are infringed. Silence or inaction in the face of unconstitutional conduct is not neutrality—it is complicity. I expect you to publicly reaffirm that ICE may not detain U.S. citizens and to take concrete steps to ensure this prohibition is enforced. The Constitution is not optional. Neither is your responsibility to defend it.

This part. Black soldiers that fought in WWII came home and were lynched for wearing their uniforms. They were excluded from veterans programs. They took off that uniform and immediately had to fight for basic rights.
Y’all’s grandfathers flew around the world to fight Nazis as hard as they fought Black people moving into their neighborhoods.

Miss me with the theatrics.

Face it.

ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should.

It is time to defund ICE!

I reject any framing of America that ignores what happened to millions of people in America
I reject any definition of "American" that casts Frederick Douglass as less American than the people who enslaved him, or Sitting Bull as less American than the people who stole his home and drove him from it, or George Takei or Jim Thorpe or Ruby Bridges as less American than their oppressors.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.

Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.
