Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Is Steely Dan an indicator of autism now? Or were they like, “You’ve watched a lot of these videos… have you considered you might be neurodivergent?” 🤣

Alright #Queers… which one of you told the 🍊 💩 that we want “transgender for everyone”? I know that’s top of our #GayAgenda, but it wasn’t ready to go public, yet! 🏳️‍⚧️

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

I still hadn’t decided if I was going to renew my subscription. Then they sent me a rate increase notification, and I was like, “Well, that’s not how you regain my trust!” 😂

Hey, y’all. Look at this trans Black woman DEI-hire who committed ANOTHER mass shooting. Oh. Wait. It’s just the usual suspects.

Bullying is what got him cancelled. Boycotts and the power of the people got him reinstated. There is a difference.

"are you saying the parents who saw changes in their kids post MMR are lying?!?!"

No, I'm saying that the first dose of MMR is typically administered around the same time that many symptoms of autism start to manifest.

Lots of people die on Tuesdays. Tuesdays don't cause death.

The difference between us and them is that we want our corrupt politicians held accountable along with theirs. They just want the other side’s held accountable.

Autistic friends: you are beautiful. You are perfect. Your way of seeing and interacting with the world around you enhances human experience as a whole. We learn more, understand more, when we accept diversity. The world is better for all of us because you are in it. Stay strong. Know you are loved.

Don’t let YouTube doctors and populist politicians make you feel like you did something wrong or made a choice that caused a genetic neurodiversity.

I had to stop watching the “autism announcement” because it was making me so angry. Parents: It wasn’t the Tylenol or the vaccines. There is no one, singular cause of autism. Science has shown it is strongly rooted in genetics. There is nothing “wrong” with your children. You are good parents.

The thing is with Trumpism MAGA who have no conscience empathy whatsoever instinctively hate whomever is trying to shine a light on any misconceptions they might have "owning the libs" is easy but assimilating the truth is difficult too difficult or in some cases impossible for them!🤨

Since SCOTUS said it was okay to racially profile people in order to stop and search them as potential undocumented immigrants, can we start racially profiling young white men who want to purchase weapons? #UsualSuspects
