War on Christmas
ICE needs to be DODGED.
abolishing ICE is a necessity but *merely* abolishing ICE should be viewed as the most moderate of positions
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

We are idiots and prove it everyday.
Wide vaccination keeps dangerous viruses away from babies too young to get vaccinated.
But when many people try to free ride off the protection others provide, babies die.
"Oregon.. record 1,475 cases for the year... surpassing the previous high seen in 1950... one baby died, first since 2012."

Whooping Cough Cases Soar as Vaccination Rates Drop
In an NBC News data investigation of 31 states, about 70% of counties and jurisdictions fell below the target vaccination rate needed for community protection.

You'll remember that when Biden delivered an address in 2022, networks refused to air it because they said it was "political" www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

What is being done by ICE and “Border Security” is disgusting. I use think this is isn’t who we are in America…but turns out it sure is 33% of it.
Trump’s America.
Mubashir is a 20-year-old Minneapolis resident and a U.S. citizen. ICE assaulted him and grabbed him off the street anyway.
Cruelty and incompetence, and an unlawful detention. A kidnapping. ICE gets to do this with zero accountability.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
