Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Younger sis is an essential federal worker. A single mom. Why are ppl like my sister being threatened they won’t be paid during this shutdown while GOP Congress like Mike Johnson continue getting a paycheck?

Watched a video of ICE masked agents walking down a suburban Chicago neighborhood asking ppl for their papers. WTSF? Who walks in their neighborhood with papers? This is Gestapo s**t. I researched what Nazis/fascists did in WWII for my upcoming novel. THIS is what they did.

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚
