Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:

Tweet from Meidas_Charise Lee: “THIS IS THE COOLEST WAR ZONE EVER! Portland’s strategy… maybe if we act weird enough they’ll leave!”
Attached is a photo of people in colorful inflatable costumes dancing or moving playfully at night.

Just 11 days ago, Senator Ted Cruz was saying Qatar was funding “Antifa terrorists,”

And now today, Trump and Pete Hegseth are giving Qatar a military base in IDAHO to use!

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

ICE arrests & disappears our neighbors to inhumane foreign prisons without due process, violating their habeas corpus right where a court reviews detention/imprisonment to determine whether lawful. Say "NO" to Felon Trump's racist & criminal actions.
