Also: when a government acts brutally and lawlessly and immorally, but tells you that pointing those things out incites violence and terrorism, that government and its agents are entitled to no respect or credence.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in

The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

Is your home ready for one of you to quit your job and stay at home to take care of an elderly person along with the kids?

Remember, if you'd voted for Kamala Harris, you would have in-home assistance covered by Medicaid instead of having their Medicaid cut.

BREAKING:

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

They arrest Democrats.
They murder Democrats.
They laugh at their deadly violence against Democrats.

Probably worth saving this number

We have (a suicide hotline) in Canada that people in the US can call.

Edit: you can also access our health websites. If one was shutdown in the US there's likely a Canadian equivalent you can search out.

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

Abuses of the tax code was one of the items in the original impeachment case against Nixon. Using the tax code to selectively target enemies - and decimate civil society - is the next step in the authoritarian agenda.
