The GOP cut SNAP & food assistance. They kicked people off Medicaid. They cut ACA tax credits for millions.
Then used that money to give BILLIONS to donors, corporations, the Mar-a-Lago class—and to turn ICE into Trump's bloated and poorly trained revolutionary guard.
We are going to ABOLISH ICE.

Battery costs down 60% in two years!!
The economics of solar plus storage are tough to beat.
The "businessman president" doesn't seem to understand that here in America.
Everyone else does. And solar wins.

CEO of Brookfield Renewable Partners says there is “no slowdown” in the deployment of solar and battery storage in the US. "We are seeing an acceleration. And this is driven by solar...it is quick to deploy, it’s cheap, it’s the lowest cost form of production."

One more point on this. On paper, Thompson could have no conflict. He left MN USAO 5 days before the protest for which Don Lemon is charged.
But the first thing Lowell will do is file a vindictive prosecution claim, which will get to Harmeet's corruption.
Guess who knows about that firsthand?

Among the 5 ways to fight fascism is to peel off enough Members of Congress to hold up Trump's agenda.
3 signs on the front page of the Politico that's beginning to happen consistently.
The tariff one will mean that Dems can force a vote on the Canada tariffs tomorrow.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Just a quick reminder … if you wanted to stop the corruption and impenetrable fortress that is the Military Industrial Complex, here is your chance to get in on the bottom floor to chip away at its foundation. Once these things become community icons and employers … it gets baked in. Stop it now.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
