Five years ago, our great American democracy was put to the test, and Donald Trump failed it.
The danger he poses was clear then, and it remains clear now. We must never forget that.

Listen to the panic of this moment as #ICE shoots into her car with kids inside.
How can anyone think that this is acceptable?
It's absolutely repugnant.
#ICELawlessness is happening again & again.
Just about every attack is being done without warrants on innocent people by anonymous thugs.

Funny how there’s always “no money” for health care, food, or housing—until ICE needs billions. Then the vault swings open. If cruelty had a budget line, this would be it.

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.
This year, statues of tall men clad in all black with masks drawn up to hide their faces are disrupting the serenity of a Charlotte church's Nativity scene.
The figures are depicted approaching the Holy Family and the Wise Men with handcuffs as if preparing to make an arrest.

So when the #AmericanGestapo says their arrests involve people committing crimes, they are technically correct. But the criminals are in ICE, not Home Depot parking lots or street taco stands.
Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.
He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.

Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.
