We know how Trump treated a young family member with special needs in his own family. It’s obvious he doesn’t think any Republicans could have children with special needs.They never have babies born premature or with any type of learning, speech, movement, visual, or hearing impairments! MONSTER!

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 23h

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

What’s happening right now should terrify every American. We’re sliding toward empty shelves, broken systems, and a government run by chaos. This week on @meidastouch.com, I break down how close we really are and what we can do to stop it.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

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.

“Shame! Shame! Free the Squirrel! Free the Squirrel”

Back in the gang ridden streets of Portland, ICE just arrested a girl wearing a “dangerous” inflatable Squirrel without provocation.

She’s fallen several times having been cuffed and pushed to walked faster than the suit will allow.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Military aren't getting paid. Their families have to go to food banks. Food banks have had their funding cut.
The government is shut down.
ALL because of your bullshit.
& you go golfing on OUR dime.

the things that upset trump aren't name-calling: fascist, criminal, pedophile etc. — it's digs about his corporeal self: small hands, small penis etc

so if you want to get to him, forget the insults and start a rumour, like, he has a name for each of his haemorrhoids? or maybe he smells of ladders?
