The House just voted to undo DC's Sanctuary law.

This is not what DC communities want, and it is an incredibly dangerous threat to everyone who lives here.

We will fight to stop this bill from passing.

Agreed. This has been one hard week after another for freedom and for all that America stands.

Also, the female shown is pretending she knows how to use that gun and wear a bullet proof vest. Not that I would know either, but those with actual experience have pointed it out.
"This has been a tough week for those who believe diversity is our strength, immigration built America, we should take pride in our capacity for generosity and decency, and free speech and due process are at the heart of our commitment to democracy & justice." www.americaamerica.news/p/whose-amer...

Get him home quick! Assuming he hasn't been disappeared already. 😢🥺😢
NEW: It’s 5 p.m. ET, and DOJ is officially late on its first daily court-mandated report on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

RFK's arrogance also leaves those whom are not healthy to feel left out in the cold.
RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.
The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.”

That is dangerously false.

For the Jewish community to which I belong, this is what we are admonished to remember this Passover:
"The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." (Leviticus 19:33-34)

If you are in any of those states, especially purple ones. Please make calls!!!
Too many members of Congress keep letting us down. This is about more than opposing Trump’s bad nominees — it’s about treating this administration like the authoritarian threat it is and using every inch of power to fight back: indivisible.org/campaign/tru...

Yup! Pure authoritarian behavior. Not why this Country was founded!!!
April 12, 2025 at 8:39 PM
Exactly! Pure craziness doing all of this on the fly without steps being taken like regulations normally allow.
Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed

Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?
