Yesterday, a federal judge ruled that Gregory Bovino and other officials can be questioned under oath over agents using chemical agents on protesters, journalists, and clergy in Chicago. A lot of ICE agents still mistakenly think that they’ll never be held accountable. They will.

You guys I’m really sorry but I am never going to forgive him for ripping a side off the White House and I am never going to forgive all the people who could have stopped him but just kept going along to get along.

🚨 A woman walking to work in Chicago gets snatched up off the street by ICE. Nothing American in this video. She keeps asking for help over and over. All she gets is a photographer taking her picture and hauled off like an animal. 1/2

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”

“When Trump defeated the GOP establishment a decade ago, the conquered went along grudgingly, maintaining their capacity to be privately appalled. But over the years, acquiescence appears to have bled inward—and before long, they were conquered on the inside, too.”

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?
