This ice agent is out of control. Abuse is not acceptable under any circumstance, but especially against women & children!
If we saw this happening in any other country in the world we would be outraged!
Have we learned nothing from George Floyd’s death in 2020?

Most corrupt POTUS in USA history! Unchecked insider trading, manipulating the market with tariffs. Hello, SEC?

Massive insider trading. Thirty minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement, a crypto “whale” opened a $100M+ short on Bitcoin.

4:30 PM: Whale opens $100M+ BTC short
4:50 PM: Trump announces 100% tariffs on China
5:20 PM: $19.3 B in liquidations hit the market
The whale’s profit: $192 million

DOJ withheld evidence from the grand jury which would possibly negate the charges against Letitia James.
Halligan claimed Hames was going to rent the property as a second home but James never rented it. She lived there.

tRump decided he’d better pay the troops after allowing Qatar to build a base in Idaho. I guess troops lining up at food banks didn’t look so good for the regime.

The Republican government shutdown provides poor optics for the Republicans

Military families “lining up at a foodbank” embarrassed Trump

How did he think the unemployed were going to survive

He’ll now pay them on 10/15

The Trump shutdown exposed Republicans’ cruelty

A waste-free Pentagon isn't happening

Sending thousands of National Guard troops to Democratic cities, that are already peaceful, is draining the Pentagon’s budget & abusing Trump’s authority

Good morning, friends! I have no plans for the “fall,” we will win. Autumn, I plan enjoy the changing season and do things I enjoy with people I love. I am a resister and will continue to organize and attend protests in my town. I will not wave the white flag.

No tragedy or national crisis gets in the way of Trump’s golf game

The government shutdown, the stock market plunge due to tariffs, flash floods, hurricanes, etc, Trump isn't working to help the people, he’s golfing

I have the backstory on that as well; which I will post in a day or so.

It's happened because of a thing called "Project 100,000"

"Woke Content" will be in Vietnam for a few days.

There's hidden history we need to learn.

It was Musk's "efficiency" strategy: fire them all and hire back the ones it turned out you really needed. Much easier than finding out what they do & deciding if you really need it. Also guaranteed to leave you with an entire staff that hates you. #ProudBlue

🧵 Many of you never knew of a prison riot that took place in Vietnam. It involved incarcerated U.S. soldiers, most of whom were Black.
