#ICE #Trump

These raids are becoming increasingly more violent and it’s becoming more likely that deaths will occur.

Report ALL #ICE kidnappings & abductions to police as acts of terrorism.

They may NOT be #ICE at all.

They may be bombers wearing suicide vests.

Report ALL acts of terrorism.

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."

Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

He's rampaging because he didn't get the Nobel Peace prize even after insinuating to Norway that America wouldn't be very happy about it. He threatened Norway.

The administration's announcement shocked the MAGA core base, who have applauded the president on his "America First" agenda. The agreement states an Idaho air base will "host a contingent of Qatari F-15s and pilots."

Trump admin sparks MAGA fury with Qatari Air Force base in US—"betrayed"

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the U.S. has approved a Qatari Air Force base in Idaho.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

So if Trump only supports slavishly loyal MAGA and punishes Democrats then he is NOT the president of America. Why should blue states remain in such a disunion?

It’s time for soft secession

Most presidents would try to alleviate the suffering caused by a shutdown. Trump relishes it so he can intentionally inflict pain on workers.
