Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.

The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.

Beware.

ACTION ALERT! Imagine being detained. You've heard the detention stories about inhumane conditions & treatment, committed in your name and paid for by your taxes.

Here are Trump’s ICE Nazis throwing an elderly woman to the ground. It’s shameful and un-American.

“Late-term abortion” is NOT a medical term.

It is a political term designed to stigmatize abortion seekers.

Ashley Moody is just another career politician in the pockets of elites and special interests.

Over a million dollars in Moody’s corporate stock was traded – while she had access to insider information only Congress gets.

And she’s an automatic yes vote for all of MAGA’s extreme agenda.

The people of Minnesota defeated ICE's invasion. Bovino losing his job is an enormous win for the people: it shows others in the regime they could actually face consequences if they alienate enough popular support.

The movement deserves to claim these kinds of huge wins!

“Do you regret rushing to judgment?”

“Does Trump agree he was a domestic terrorist?”

“Will Stephen Miller apologize to Alex Pretti’s family?”

I'm not intimidated by Trump, and Maine isn't either. That's why I've demanded a meeting with him, so I can tell him to his face to get ICE out of our state.

Maine needs a Senator who will stand up to the President — I've done it before, and I'm not afraid to do it again.

Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, was abducted in Minneapolis. He died in ICE’s El Paso detention camp 8 days later on Jan 14.

ICE calls it suicide.

They didn’t send his body to the El Paso County ME who just classified another “suicide” at that camp a homicide. They sent him to an army medical center.

Minneapolis didn’t have a single deadly police shooting in 2025. Now, 2 fatal shootings by ICE in January alone.

Ripping people out of cars, smashing windows, pepper-spraying people at close range, and killing citizens like Alex Pretti and Renée Good, then lying about it.
