"Since 2022, 30,000 #Ohio children have lost health insurance because of cost concerns, while the state has provided billions to the wealthy in tax cuts and billions to private schools"

This is Ohio with a Republican supermajority. Your kids deserve so much better.

Was she undocumented? Here on a green card? A U.S. citizen? WHAT FUCKING DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? SHE'S A TEENAGE GIRL WHO WAS JUST KIDNAPPED OFF THE STREETS, THROWN INTO A VAN & DISAPPEARED.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

The world celebrated Ohio's most important cultural site. Like so much else, that's controversial • Ohio Capital Journal

Ancient earthworks in Newark, Ohio, were made a World Heritage site. Some celebrated, but for others it was a source of cultural conflict.

MAGA is a white supremacist death cult.

This doesn’t end until we say enough is enough, and we have tens of millions of people resisting in countless ways across the country.

Join us on 10/18 to say we reject this—and we demand the impeachment, conviction, and removal of this regime.

If you go to some federal websites right now, this is what you see.

The 'weirdo' is generating engagement that Musk needs to keep up revenue for his propaganda system.

What's sad is not recognizing moronic shit posting for what it is.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

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 🧵
