Bit people against paying higher taxes (or any taxes) are smart, right?

Maybe he should do that anyway? Seems kinda shitty to not bring a criminal to justice if you have evidence.

ICE just arrested the father of a special needs child — during his job as a landscaper with a work permit.
This is what is happening in Chicago. ICE is targeting hardworking parents with kids who need them.

"Many of Defendants' Statements are Misleading or Inaccurate"
![Many of Defendants’ Assertions Are Misleading or Exaggerated
The government routinely engages in exaggerations that undermine its credibility
1. Lakeview. Defendants claim that on October 24 in the Lakeview neighborhood, “one
vehicle blocked [a] CBP vehicle from exiting” and that a crowd “ignored commands to
disperse”; subsequently, agents deployed gas, crowd members allegedly threw a pumpkin at the
vehicle, and agents deployed more gas. Dkt. 173 at 16.
In fact, Defendants used gas in a residential neighborhood multiple times without audible
warnings, after residents protested their arrest of a person in the front yard of a residence. See
Dkt. 140; Dkt. 140 at one n.1; Exs. 90-93, 95-96 (available at Dkt. 140 at 1 n.2). Defendants’ own](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qqdqgzpqwyho4cxzso62m54q/bafkreigwrwibw7drvqvijulv4j652rywj5rpex5jzvsdfkwnursixj7j2i@jpeg)

My immediate fear was that her teammate was going to step on her bare feet when they hugged. Happily she did not. Congrats on an amazing career and getting off the pitch without an injury.

The last time I only "partially" followed the law, I was told I was still breaking the law.
President Donald Trump’s administration said that it will partially fund SNAP after two judges issued rulings requiring it to keep the nation’s largest food aid program running. https://to.pbs.org/48WblLG
Trump administration says SNAP will be partially funded in November
That means grocery aid will resume for 1 in 8 Americans, though it has been delayed for millions already and the amount beneficiaries receive will be reduced.

Ugh! Not HE!
It is THEY!
The Republican Party is doing this. One man cannot do this on his own. This is the entire GoP and we need to explain this to everyone. People in this country still think there is a difference between MAGA & Republican.

Actually, it's the same thing. Democrats, whether you like them or not, are the party of freedom, and the GoP is the party of fascism. DJT is not the problem, the GoP is the problem. If they actually believed in freedom, they would join with the Dems and arrest Trump.

Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here.

This sweet guitar player, Joselyn Walsh, is one of the 6 brave protesters indicted in Chicago for protesting ICE, along with Kat Abughazaleh.
Here she is singing a song after the tear gas cleared. The next day, she was hit with a rubber ball & her guitar got a hole in it (see image below).

Or, possibly, people could learn the lesson that religion does not lead to compassion & love.
In fact, it has been shown across the centuries that it leads to the opposite.
Instead of trying to get them back to religion, follow the atheists who are living what religion only talks about.

Our pastor shared an exchange she found on social media as part of her sermon today. Seeing her earnestly address a lack of compassion in the so-called faithful was moving and importantly timely. With everything happening in this country, we need more faith leaders to talk about this sort of thing.
