No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

History will lump Trump, Miller, Noem, Bondi, Homan, etc along with all the other miserable people who tortured others for their sadistic pleasure.

If you don’t speak out against them, you’re forever tied to them.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

Mr. Poilievre knows all of that because he’s not stupid. But he seems to think the people listening to him are.

O’Donnell went on to compare Trump to disgraced former President Richard Nixon, who also infamously curated a list of his political opponents, but argued that there’s “one big difference” — Nixon didn’t spend his life “in a Trumpian prison of stupidity.”

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.
