ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
ICE, Trump, Noem are domestic terrorists and must be held accountable for their evil acts against Americans & humanity itself.
We cannot sit silently while they continue to kill people & destroy families.
All of us must step up, get loud, & say ENOUGH!

Yesterday, I sat in a courtroom to face the man who threatened to track me down and rape me with a broken beer bottle.
During the hearing, he stared at me continuously. Unblinking. Fixated.

This was reported as being the emergency call & video by the wife of the man who was shot in Minnesota tonight & based on this call, it appears that DHS is lying yet again.

Get in your groups and demand them to call representatives push for their states to help. To come together and over throw this shit show. Because without other states stepping up and putting their money where their mouth is this is not going to end.
