These people aren’t even police or military. They’re just a goon squad. They should all go to prison.

WTAF! Opening fire with kids in the car!

If this isn’t grounds for termination, nothing will be!

Yeah sis that’s what the shutdown is all about. Think anyone has told him?

People need to understand this about all abuse of power by police.

Very few crimes are capital punishment. Many people oppose the death penalty except the most egregious cases (and many oppose altogether).

And yet thousands are killed by police every year, which is MURDER if force was excessive

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Throw the baby out with the bath water! Screw over the 96% of the others that are in dire need! God forbid even one person gets some food who doesn’t deserve it!

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

Soooo we’re about to be the equivalent of Hussein grabbing the sovereign nation of Kuwait for its oil reserves… with Venezuela.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

We are now learning how much oppression and abuse Americans will tolerate. The day will come when enough Americans will decide enough is enough and this lawless regime must be stopped. But right now too many are willing to let the lawless abuse continue.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Anyone who would so nonchalantly tear down a huge chunk of the White House would sell ANY and all top secret information to any foreign power.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

My 95 year old grandfather with moderate dementia can pass those tests on a good day. Not something to brag about, honey. If you are an adult and think the test gets hard - at all - then you are compromised.
