Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.
He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.

Ilhan Omar: Trump's cabinet is not dissimilar from him, Hegseth has white supremacist tattoos, these are not people you'd expect to react to bigotry. The press that cover him have gotten used to bigotry as well, and gotten used to his abuse. This is a very abusive, deranged old man.

Why does the Trump admin continue to steal people’s intellectual property, music and art without permission on a daily basis? Even worse, for things they strongly object to? Why don’t they just use things from MAGA artists and creators?
