ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!"
This is how sick & deranged these THUGS are, thanks to this REGIME‼️

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum.

We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

A man whose businesses have filed for bankruptcy six times clearly doesnt understand business. Everything Trump possesses he got through theft, cheating, and stealing.

Congress implicitly suspended the US Constitution by their failure to act.

How ironic that Aticle IV would have to be invoked against the US instead of Russia. The US is now a rogue state.

No. And not one Democrat will DO anything to stop it. Thoughts and prayers only.

Trump's will persist long after Trump. Its a social movement - fascism- and not just one person.

Clyde W Barrow @clydewbarrow.bsky.social · 4d

The point is that Trump will ignore the US Constitution which he understands is nothing but a piece of paper if not backed up by the force of popular action.
