Speaking truth in the political wilderness.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

DOGE got our Social Security information and bank account data. Palantir has access to passport, Global Entry, TSA privileges. As in the Hamdmaid’s Tale, the Trump regime can now control every one of us by locking up our bank accounts and revoking access to travel. This is war. None of us are safe.

Trump’s goons went to Fulton County & executed a search warrant to seize ALL of the ORIGINAL 2020 ballots, voter rolls, and other documents.

Trump exemplifies the worst of humanity and his regime is destroying us. People are dying. People are being kidnapped, hunted, terrorized, and going into hiding. Citizens are carrying their passports because in Trump’s America “American means white.”
And corporate America is complicit.

They must be released immediately.
