@TomHoman just spewed a bunch of nonsense.
He said if we would JUST top exercising our First Amendment rights we would be safer from ICE.

@TomHoman needs to be instructed that following ICE officers is constitutionally protected activity. It is NOT illegal, as he just stated.
If Little Tommy can't follow the Constitution, he should resign or be fired.

Executing a search for 2020 election records in Atlanta is a chilling sign - we have elections in just a few months.
He's looking at Fulton County, wasting your tax dollars, on a county that hasn't gone Republic since 1972?
Stop it. Stop it now.
This is about voter intimidation, plain and simple.

Why is ICE denying Minneapolis Police access to the evidence of the 2 ICE slayings in MN?
What do they have to hide?
This is not democracy. This is authoritarianism.

Take action. Call or write your legislators.

@steverattner.bsky.social How much of the GDP growth we are seeing is because imports have slowed significantly and that is subtracted from GDP, so that's what has caused much of the "good news"?

Why? What special talents do they have?

Remember how bad the weather was this past weekend?
Imagine having to drive from Minneapolis to El Paso, TX to pick up a family member who was taken by ICE and then just dumped out on the street.
This is being done in our names.
