They aren’t real agents and have no real authority‼️
ICE workers that wear masks and do not show a badge number are contractors‼️

Our governors and us are all that stands between authoritarianism and democracy.

We will not tolerate a king in America.

Social media post:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to
protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker
I will not back down.
Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected
representatives checking his power.
What else is left on the path to full-blown
authoritarianism?

Verde @angeloak1.bsky.social · 18h

Will felt Ashley had no business remarking on his showering schedule. He wasn't wrong. I think she also made a comment about the frequency of him wearing a certain shirt.

Also, inform the population you serve. As a public school teacher, I pledge to thwart ICE no matter what.

I appreciate that Morgan was never disrespectful or got personal about the other players in the house. And she’s continuing to do that now that she’s out of the house. It shows a level of maturity and grace that I wish some of the other HGs possessed. #bb27

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.
