It was in response to my saying:

"If you still think ICE is only targeting 'illegals' you have not been paying attention and we all know why. You think all Brown, Black, and all other nonwhite people are 'illegals.'"

They never fail to prove our points for us. This one came in under two minutes.

We're all “illegals” to them.

“While Black immigrants are disproportionately targeted for deportations, the Trump administration is targeting Black communities to intimidate them and discourage them, or any other groups, from coming together and speaking out.”

While this is not the Civil War, or race war, that has been promised by far-right white nationalist groups from the Ku Klux Klan to more modern neo-nazi groups like Atomwaffen, it’s impossible to ignore that this is a fantasy started by Trump’s White House.

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote.

Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

I don't want to ever have to come here to tell y'all that Zay has perished due to lack of meds, LC complications and lack of shelter.

It doesn't have to be that way, but it almost happened recently.

Please, who can chip in? Who can amplify often?

Zay has been in and out of the hospital and UCC with LC complications. They have been trying to reach a week or two goal since their hospital discharge to stay housed. 43 would at least cover today due by noon. Any aid is appreciated, including amplifying.

Zay has been in and out of the hospital and urgent care with long cov¡d complications and has been trying to reach a week or two since their hospital discharge to stay sheltered, food, and necessities.

450 weekly rate is the cheapest vs the 80 daily rate. 43 would at least cover today due by noon to remain h0used. Any aid is greatly appreciated, including amplifying.

Highly funded planned protests are essentially parades. Without any kind of continuous action after the protests, they're all but pointless.

It controlled opposition.

This is why I don't trust heavily funded protest groups. If a group comes out of nowhere with tons of funding, that should be the first red flag, because it's a HUGE one.

🧵 It should go without saying but it needs to be said: Don't sign up for protests. EVER. Anyone who tells you to should be outed as a fed or at the very least, an operative.

They're not working "without pay" out of some patriotic duty as DHS tries to suggest here.

The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 requires all essential or furloughed employees under the shutdown to be paid retroactively once it ends.

They're getting paid (way too much, imo).

This is arguably the most brown nosing "pick me" post of the year.

Greg Abbott wants Trump to pick him to be part of the Gestapo so badly, he's practically begging.

NO FARMER BAILOUT

Farmers keep voting for their own destruction & my tax dollars shouldn’t be used to fund it. Trump’s expected to announce a new bailout. He wrecked them w/tariffs, then acts like a hero by bailing them out w/our money.

They’ll cash the check, then vote to burn it all down again.

Van Jones sold out a long time ago. He just feels braver about showing it with his full chest. He got his bag; he doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself.
