Donald Trump just issued a presidential directive calling for a federal investigation into ActBlue—the platform that powers grassroots donations to campaigns like mine for Iowa Senate.

Let’s talk about what this actually means.

ActBlue is a secure, widely used payment processor. That’s it.

#ICE 🧊 #agents in #Chicago can't even find a restroom. They can't sit down for a meal. You starve them. You isolate them.

You make them unwelcome everywhere they go.

Stay peaceful! Trump wants violence to further his power grabs. This is one way to do it peacefully. #resist #FuckIce

The inflatable Portland protesters are awesome.

Also … the clergy in Chicago are making their point.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

The cruelty is the point

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 13h

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.
