Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.
The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.”

This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

Donald Trump is trying to destroy dissent and protest and build a censorship state. But he won’t win. The people have enough political and commercial power to stop him.

This is terrifying. Hegseth is summoning all flag officers from around the globe to Quantico the night before republicans shut down the government. Is this a final purge of dissidents? Are they going to use a government shutdown as pretext for massive domestic military mobilization?
