In the first Trump administration, citizens got rid of Steve Bannon by deluging the White House with mail addressed to President Bannon. Let's do it again. This time address your letters and postcards to President Stephen Miller, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20500. Call 1-202-456-1414.

Border Patrol & ICE operating under Trump regime directives have repeatedly attacked and detained US citizens violating their civil rights and human rights. Regime agents have also been caught falsifying reports, destroying evidence to cover up their actions. #3E 🧵

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

ICE has been looting, too. When the raided restaurants in Philadelphia they carried out all the food, including the freezers.
When they raided a home (family made to stand outside in the rain in the middle of the night), they took all the electronic devices and the family’s savings that was cash.
