Who else thinks that everything we’re experiencing with Ice and the National guard is because there were no consequences for the man responsible for the January 6th Insurrection.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

As much as I would love for that to happen, it’s going to be tough since we aren’t apart of the Rome Statute. Things are set up for trump to do whatever he wants!

A line from Rise of Skywalker fits our situation today. “They win by making you think you’re alone, There’s more of us.” Stay in the fight. #Resist
