Remember: your Republican Members of Congress confirmed the people who are in charge of this and then gave ICE more money than some world armies through the Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.”

If you don’t like this, let them know.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

Not only this is amazing because part of fascism is the destruction of joy but it also makes it look ridiculous that the military is being deployed to put a stop to this

An American citizen and disabled war veteran who was arrested by ICE for no reason while on the way to work and detained for three days. He missed his daughter’s third birthday party while he was in custody.

If this doesn’t anger you, I don’t even want to know you.

People just need to ask themselves who benefits the most by what Trump says/does. Almost without variation the answer is Trump.

If Trump tells you it’s rainy outside, it’s okay to put away your umbrella and raincoat. Almost every single thing he says is a lie.

The sooner the slow folks in the back learn this, the better we will all be.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects.

In this case: immigration crackdowns raise your grocery bill.

They pay attention when constituents contact them. Because for every person who bothers to, there are many others who share the same sentiments that don’t.

TheValuesVoter @thevaluesvoter.bsky.social · 2h

The whole point of the weaponization of “woke,” “DEI” and “CRT” was to give people a catch-all word to describe everything that’s dark that they dislike. The actual meanings of the words are irrelevant. They’re all substitute words for things some people would really like to say.
