Its going to be a long, tough fight to recover. Dont expect a victory right away. Celebrate the small wins, with each we gain momentum. Analyze the losses & learn from them. Reading up on past successful insurgencies can bring strategies but more important, hope. We ARE winning
Quit saying ICE is "arresting" people. In this country an arrest requires due process, warrants and miranda rights, booking, processing, legal representation, etc. What ICE is doing is closer to kidnapping. No due process, no rights, no legal representation, no constitution.

You know the worst part? There is so much outrage that it forces us to live in a world without empathy. After a while you either become numb or you go crazy.

Who believes Trump has worn out his usefulness and the power brokers are working on getting his base to turn on him so Vance can take over. Project 2025 is pretty much implemented.

Texas is contending with a tragic, historic flood-- and Greg Abbott's priority, RIGHT NOW, is calling a special legislative session for the sole purpose of gerrymandering the state's maps even further. Texans are STILL MISSING, and these Republicans are frothing at the mouth for more power.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.
