There are many great voices out there, and we can find them everywhere, if we take the time to listen. There are legislators, judges, pundits, members of congress, military, media personalities, all with great passion and direction. The problem seems to be a lack of organized leadership.

There are still 5,000,000+ pages of Epstein files that have not been released. Trump and Pam Bondi want to keep them hidden but we will not rest until we have every single file. Release the files, NOW.

From an optics perspective... the protesters being the ones waving the US flag while Bovino et al looks like every awful nazi inspired movie we've ever seen... hats off to Minnesotans.
Greg Bovino was seen earlier today at the Minneapolis ICE facility dressed in a very nazi-inspired outfit. They don’t even hide anymore.

He is hell-bent on destroying everything for nothing
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce.
As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies.
This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

Huge win here by @aclu.org. Similar to a court order we and our partners obtained recently in Chicago in a similar case.
It's important not just because of the order itself, but because it creates a forum for accountability for federal officers who violate it who can now be held in contempt.

A fucking toy store because they are outspoken in their defense of their neighbors.
DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.
In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.
