Un EFFING believeable. But I guess MAGA is great with this horrific treatment of a boy with the mind of a five year old. #NoKings #NoGOP Congress could stop this, but out another week to protect Trump. Traitors. Cowards.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

The thing about the Roberts Court is they're not evil geniuses, because they're not geniuses.

“More than three dozen federal judges have told The New York Times that the Supreme Court’s flurry of brief, opaque emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration have left them confused about how to proceed in those matters and are hurting the judiciary’s image with the public.”

We need to keep pushing this out. We all know that she’s the one that is lying, but there’s 40% that don’t understand what’s going on. We need to try to get their attention.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

ICE agents wear masks to scare & intimidate the public. They also know that if Trump is unsuccessful in destroying our democracy & creating a permanent police state, they will all be facing criminal charges when democracy & rule of law is restored.

MAGA is a white supremacist death cult.

This doesn’t end until we say enough is enough, and we have tens of millions of people resisting in countless ways across the country.

Join us on 10/18 to say we reject this—and we demand the impeachment, conviction, and removal of this regime.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

How many have stories like George Retes? I can't give up fighting because so many have been grabbed and need someone to be their voice.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“ICE cited a ‘legacy deportation order’ dating back to the 1980s [and an intent to distribute plea]. … Subu, who was born in India but arrived in the United States when he was 9 months old, was never deported because he was serving a life sentence.”

Again today, local police outside Broadview just aggressively arrested more protesters. Tough to tell exactly how many, but looks like 3-4 people were just detained.
