ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities:
Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly.
If any of these are your hometowns—get ready.
If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

Result of Trumps, UNQUALIFIED coked up, appointee. Military planning has always been halfbaked but this shitshow is exactly what happens when there is federal overreach without the coordination and permission of the state.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians?
We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think.

Emphasis on the "hypocritical at best. "
Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.
They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.
