Here's an excellent tactic.
"Just following orders" was not accepted as a defense at Nuremberg. They need to learn that.

If you haven’t already, do read “The Presentation” brilliantly written by @theoriginaltomjoad.bsky.social which tells the social truth of the declining decrepit drumpf aka the PedoFelon.

Fred, you’ve got a very wise friend…

After hearing that the PedoFelon is suing the IRS (and if they bend the knee), it would be a very wise decision to deprive the Federal Govt of misusing taxpayer money.

Feb 3: Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants ends. Feb 4: ICE plans a surge in Springfield, OH. Families are bracing for dawn door knocks and lives torn asunder. Fear is spreading fast. This is what the regime's policy looks like on the ground. We are all immigrants.

DHS keeps making false claims about people it has run-ins with. Well worth reading in its entirety. ⬇️

DHS keeps making false claims about people. It's part of a broader pattern
Trump administration officials have falsely linked Alex Pretti and Renee Macklin Good to domestic terrorism. It's part of a larger pattern by the Department of Homeland Security.

Ohio is bracing for an ICE enforcement surge as TPS for Haitian refugees is set to end next week. Gov. DeWine says Springfield could face 30 days of enforcement unless courts intervene. The ACLU warns communities are at risk. Losing TPS means detention and deportation. #sheshed

Lindsey Graham is upset because Johnson cut the part of the bill that would allow Congressmen to sue for the government looking through their phone records. He wants to make sure he gets paid for helping Trump try to find votes in Georgia.
