ICE is now recruiting with white nationalist and Christian-identity imagery: Nazi lines, Nazi themes, and propaganda that rewrites American history to portray this country as something it never was.

One of the major techniques used to brainwash people is to keep them sleep deprived. In the Moonies, I slept 3-4 hours a night, 7 days a week in that destructive cult. People need 7-9 hours of good sleep a night. Read this and think!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Glad people are realizing how significant this shooting has. Vance saying ICE has total immunity is extremely disturbing!
BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.
Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.
