The scale of impunity is what’s truly horrifying. Powerful men cozied up to a predator and walked away untouched—that’s privilege in plain sight. The answer is real investigations, prosecutions, and consequences, no matter how rich or connected. Accountability makes the world safer.

We’re not just fighting policy — we’re fighting a deportation‑industrial complex built on taxpayer dollars and political payoff.

For every $1 they donated in 2024, research suggests they stand to see well over $11,000 in increased revenue under the current enforcement surge. This isn’t accidental it’s profiteering from a system that treats human beings as cash cows and political leverage.

Private prison firms like CoreCivic and The GEO Group, which operate most ICE detention facilities, make billions off federal contracts tied to immigration enforcement and they’ve poured millions into Republican campaigns, including to Trump, as ICE budgets and deportation machines expand.

Absolutely and here’s the ugly truth: companies that **run and profit from ICE detention don’t just benefit from cruelty they strategically invest in the political class that expands it.

Absolutely. Local leadership is stepping up where national politics keeps failing. Mayors who actually listen and act like your friend in Cleveland are showing what real, accountable leadership looks like. That’s the model we need everywhere.

We aren’t going to sit quietly while people with guns, badges, and political cover decide lethal force is the answer every time tensions rise on our streets. That’s how we get reckless killings, and that’s why folks are outraged and demanding change.

This isn’t isolated it’s part of a pattern of aggressive federal immigration enforcement that’s sparked nationwide protests and calls to abolish ICE altogether because these agents aren’t held accountable, and communities are paying with lives.

The recent deadly shootings of two U.S. citizens during federal operations in Minneapolis Renée Good and Alex Pretti show how reckless force can escalate into murder when oversight and restraint are absent.

Absolutely that’s exactly the problem we’re seeing exposed in Minneapolis. Federal agents with minimal training and a militarized mission are being put in situations where they have no business deciding who lives or dies. 😡

If he did, it’s reckless. Cutting rates to protect the powerful while everyday people struggle deepens inequality. Policy should serve the public, not Wall Street.

Classic gaslighting. They try to shape perception, then reality hits. Keep sharing the facts numbers don’t lie, and the people’s voice matters more than spin.

Tragic and infuriating. When law enforcement masquerades as safety, real people pay with their lives. Accountability and reform aren’t optional they’re urgent.

International law, justice for displaced Chagossians, and an end to imperial leftovers should come before Farage’s culture-war theatrics.

This is blatant meddling and neo-colonial hypocrisy. The Chagos Islands belong to Mauritius, full stop. Trying to weaponize Trump and foreign pressure to block decolonization is disgraceful.

but then the House unanimously voted to repeal it because it smacks of self‑dealing and taxpayer giveaways. Senate leaders dragging their feet on repeal just underscores how out of touch Congress is with everyday people’s rights and priorities.

This whole thing shows exactly what’s wrong with the system a special provision was snuck into a government funding bill letting senators sue the government for millions if their data was accessed in an investigation

The idea that Democrats would fund Homeland Security without demanding an exit for ICE agents from Minnesota and other unwilling communities is unacceptable we should continue pushing for real change, not temporary fixes.

Local officials, including Minneapolis leaders, have openly rejected the Trump administration’s narrative and called for accountability and transparency as federal agents continue operations that have terrorized communities.

This is outrageous federal immigration enforcement has already led to multiple fatal shootings of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis, sparking massive protests and demands that ICE and CBP leave the city and state.

This is exactly why election integrity relies on transparency, not secrecy or partisan maneuvering. Democracy can’t survive when officials treat votes like a battleground instead of sacred civic trust.
