Trump’s America 2026. Masked armed men in body armor arresting journalists in the night.
We’re truly going back to the 1930s.
My almost 90 y/o mom was right when she moved back to Austria this year: “I grew up under fascism, I don’t need to die under it” 😳

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.

Springfield’s mayor has been talking about this for days now.
A court decision is likely on Monday, and may halt the end of TPS. It’s unclear whether DHS is going into Springfield anyway.

Thank you. To everyone who is out there fighting what they're doing and everyone who is just trying to survive this cruelty.
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

There's video of Don Lemon outside the protest stating explicitly: "I'm just chronicling. I'm not with the group." Bondi went to grand jury for an indictment after the courts declined to approve arrest warrant *twice.*

This is about forcing Don Lemon to spend money and time defending himself.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.
