What more evidence do we need that Donald Trump is trying to ruin our republic?
Because of HIS actions people are quite literally dying in the United States of America.

For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM
Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan).
It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films.

Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope.
It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.

I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center.
No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention.
What I saw was alarming — and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.

At this point, the predominant emotion so many of us are feeling is anger. Anger that people are being treated like this. Anger that our government is doing it. Anger that it’s doing it with our tax dollars. joycevance.substack.com/p/minnesota-...

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It’s gonna take years, decades, maybe even centuries to undue the damage this cruel, lawless psychopath and all his cowardly enablers in the administration, in Congress, and in right-wing media have done to this country & the world. And some of the damage will never be undone.
