If you are a lawyer, please help out and do this: bring or borrow a megaphone, point out what the police and/or ICE are doing is not clear, and speak out! Use your tools to help with what is going on!

The shootings in Mississippi are more proof thoughts and prayers are nonsense.

The Pew Research Center said it's the most religious state in the country. Per-capita, it has the second highest number of churches.

I lived there for 17 years and this tracks.

Prayers didn't help.

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.

I wonder if there's any hope that the 6 far-right, dare we say fascist, SCOTUS justices will NOT all rule, in that instance, in Felon47's favor. What leverage might anyone have to influence Roberts & the other five?

Is this most hopeful strategy?

Want to lose Mike Johnson?
Want to get Epstein Files?
Want to secure elections?
Want to Impeach Nazis?
Want to abolish ICE?
Want to SAVE 🇺🇸?

THEN FOCUS ON A SOLUTION

Democrats can get majority, but no one is asking them to do it.

Strange, Americans across the nation are not seeing the fake & mystical horrific violence! Maybe Pam is having a bad dream about her hyped up conspiracy theories & lies?

Once people start lying about everything they have trouble keeping up with their lies! Remember the Epstein lie!

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

Bondi is lying but it’s worse than that: she’s blurring the line between fact and fiction for the GOP base. If nothing is true, no one can be held accountable. Keep speaking the truth.

The Nine Principles of Propaganda
1. LIE BIG Big lies work better than small because the masses won't believe that anyone would lie "about that."
2. FOCUS Don't make it complicated, ignore history, keep it simple for simple minds.
3. REPEAT People cannot tell the difference between facts and
familiarity. If they hear the same words repeated enough, they become true in their minds.
4. BLAME Never credit the other side, always blame, debase, defame, and dehumanize.
nere by dennis prestosk
5. PROVOKE Outrage, fear, and resentment are more powertul than reason, logic, or facts.
6. CRISIS Issues must be lite or death, good vs evil, love vs hate, us vs them.
Urgency defeats objection.
7. EMOTION A person might question facts, but they will never question their own feelings. Go emotional.
8. PANDER Ignore reasonable arguments, demonize all who disagree as having bad intentions.
9. NO LIMITS Morality is for losers. The victor's morality will not be questioned. No limits.

I really wish the felon and his drunk SoW would stop poking at the country that is the reason for the Geneva Convention, and taught the whole world the term "war crimes".

Bc they were "mean" to the Nazis.

If I knew nothing else about f47, this alone would tell me he is dumb af.

I call it : Kidnapping ‼️

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽at X

1h
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.
