Our representative government is almost gone. We have a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a federal government.

They are doing virtually nothing for the average American.

Their focus is on personal wealth and power. And unwavering loyalty to the authoritarian ruler.

Rescue America. VOTE!

Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do so…and which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely.

The difference could not be clearer than at the present moment.

Angie Craig: "They removed everyone from the ICE facility 30 minutes before we arrived β€” this is not the intent of the law. DHS is violating the law"

Ilhan Omar: "What happened today is a blatant attempt to obstruct members of Congress from doing their oversight duties"

When the government takes custody of a person, it assumes total control over and liability for that individual’s safety, health, and survival. Unfortunately, in ICE detention, that obligation is being violated again and again.

Not surprising, but at least it’s now on the record. A report by researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that U.S. companies and consumers had shouldered the burden of Trump’s expansive tariffs.

No surprise here. trump's accursed DOJ is corrupt to its very core. Hair Hitler's not going to sue anyone who has or may accuse him of being a pedo as all these accusations, allegations and revelations fly around because he fears the discovery process that would make his guilt too obvious to deny.

The Trump regime deported a 2-month-old baby and his family after the infant was hospitalized following their detention at the Dilley family detention center.

Rep. Joaquin Castro says the family was shipped off with only the money in their commissary β€” $190.

The cruelty is endless.

It’s wild that DHS has $ millions for ICE to buy buildings for concentration camps, but FEMA can’t fully fund disaster relief. Maybe instead of being Nazis, we could use those funds to help the people this administration has left unhoused. Govt. budget allocation is a moral document.

@markwarner.bsky.social publicly promotes his "crack down" on ICE & warns of the "serious risk" of unchecked data collectionβ€” even as his associated political committees received $37,000 from Palantir CEO Alex Karp, whose company powers ICE’s surveillance systems.

Make it make sense.

Congress

There was no purity test. No third door. No β€œboth sides” escape hatch.
Today asked one question: stop this, or don’t. You chose don’t.

History is meticulous. Every death, every abuse, every family ripped apart has a ledger. This suffering has authors. You’re among them.

1/ICE, contrary to longstanding 4th Amendment jurisprudence, now says it can enter people’s homes without a judicial warrant; an administrative warrant suffices. That's a form signed by a gov't employee who can be fired if they displease the president. It’s not difficult to see the problem here.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".
