Well, I assume Trump is sending DMs directly to Halligan like he tried with Bondi but accidentally just posted publicly.

We did a live stage version of this at The Roadhouse Theater in Erie, PA. We made the entire set, all the costumes, and even the makeup, black, white, and grays.
BUT we kept the blood red. It was awesome.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

MS-13 will take your intestines, wrap them around your neck, and hang you from a bridge.
ISIS will cut off your head, on video!
The others will strap bombs to themselves and blow up a bus stop.
Has "Antifa" done ANY of that?
Who says that kind of thing?
Fascists do.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.”

The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.
