Now seems like a good time to remind everyone that ICE thugs are paid a bonus for every person they detain, including American citizens who are later released with no charges.

Trump & Noem are encouraging ICE to assault and detain American citizens.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

To punish Europe for supporting Greenland's right to self-determination, Trump is imposing a 25% tariff, to be paid by US consumers.

That's right. Trump is mad at Europe, so he taxes Americans already hard hit by rising food prices, skyrocketing home energy bills, and unaffordable insurance.

Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson responds to Trump's tariffs:

"We will not let ourselves be blackmailed. Only Denmark and Greenland decide on issues concerning Denmark and Greenland. I will always stand up for my country, and for our allied neighbors."

Like other fascist dictators before him, Trump declares that anyone who disagrees with his policies is a criminal.

Let's be clear. Under Trump, it is the Department of Injustice.

Insane.

ICE is now taking Native Americans into custody.

It can't get any clearer than this. This isn't about who is a citizen and who is not. This isn't about immigration. This is a purge of non-white people.

BE AWARE: ICE is not going after illegal immigrants. They are harassing, in somecases, arresting anyone who they see is not WHITE, speak with a slight accent or a different language, who is in a same sex relationship, or is not sucking up to the regime.
The Regime wants a WHITE ETHNO STATE‼️
Dear Black people,

Again, I’m going to keep banging the lonely drum that the fact that we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations, poses a massive threat to national security & world order, & should immediately end this presidency.
Danish Foreign Minster Lars Løkke Rasmussen speaks after WH meeting: "For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are of course totally unacceptable. We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement."

The good news is that SIX seasoned federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned rather than engage in a bogus 'investigation' of Renee Good and her wife rather than investigating Good's killer.

The bad news is that there are now six fewer honest, dedicated federal prosecutors with DOJ.
