"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Trump says if he invokes the Insurrection Act, ”there is no more court cases, there is no more anything.”
By “no more anything” he means no more democracy.

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

“They want us to feel overwhelmed and exhausted…to be full of despair and doubt there’s a way to overcome this hostile regime…This is the playbook to hasten their takeover by silencing dissent and convincing us their victory is inevitable.” Don’t believe it.

Hope Is a Discipline
This hateful regime wants to exhaust us and convince us that victory will be theirs. We have the individual and collective power to prove them wrong.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Colombia allowed 400+ flights of migrants during Bidens term when they were treated like human beings. the only reason they wouldn't accept Trump flights was due to the dehumanizing conditions— i suspect them allowing flights means that was corrected. 🤷♂️
