Red state governors are ready to show Trump they can be just as heartless & cruel as he wants them to be.

They’re gleefully proposing their own versions of Alligator Alcatraz, terrible conditions & all.

Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a second Trump administration, it was rarely enforced.

ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement fined Rueben Antonio Cruz $130 for not having his papers with him.

I am grateful that Marjorie T. Greene is turning to issues that matter, instead of her usual conspiracy theories. That said she is threading her needle carefully. Note she specifically mentioned not blaming trump aka H-POTUS (head-pedophile of the U.S.) This might be an act to get her re-elected.

The fact anyone thinks the next or previous elections, that Trump was on the ballot, are even remotely reflective of how America actually voted still boggles my mind.

The scale and scope of federal data and statistics that have been completely removed or otherwise compromised by President Trump’s administration is staggering.

One estimate put it at 3,000 datasets removed.

The only exceptional thing about trump is his total abandonment of truth while simultaneously embracing lies. Frankly the Noble Peace Prize doesn't reward deception from anyone! Maybe trump should aspire for a Darwin Award?

-Strength has nothing to do with bulging muscles, and everything to do with proud, beating hearts.
-Strength is not measured in tough talk, but in raging compassion.
-Strength is not measured by how many people you step on, but by how many you lift up.

THEY are weak. WE are woke.

NEVER forget it.

TRUE STRENGTH

A tribute to the woke ...

🇺🇸 I am a proud, anti-fascist vet who served on the USS Trenton LPD-14 as an assault boat coxswain in the '70s.

🇺🇸 We defended our country from America-attacking, suckers and losers like Trump.

🇺🇸 So Happy 250th, Navy! Remember: You are to protect us from fascist enemies like Trump, not appease them.
