REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Felon/G🤡P’s shutdown inflicts mass layoffs & skyrocketing costs! They’re fine with 22 million Americans’ health insurance premiums doubling due to felon/GOP refusing to extend ACA premium tax credits that are set to expire in 30 days in felon/GOP’s Big Ugly Bill! Dems are fighting for healthcare!

I hope he sues…
See that guy on the floor? He's a Turkish journalist. This is the Federal Building in NYC.
Any guesses as to how this journalist found himself on the floor?
If you guessed ICE you would be right.
This journalist had to be taken out on a stretcher.

I agree with Senator Murphy, but what Charlie Kirk’s life’s work went beyond simple expression of political views, it was contribute to the violent rhetoric that in the end became is own undoing. I feel for the man’s wife and kids but do not mourn the loss of what he was putting out into the world.

Trump Tariffs!
Tariffs increase cost of goods, which leads to higher production costs for businesses & higher prices for consumers.
Higher costs then reduce demand, which leads to lower sales, & layoffs. #Trumpflation

This sounds like the start of a horror movie…
A radioactive wasp nest was found inside a sprawling Cold War-era nuclear site in South Carolina.
Locals fear there could be an undetected leak, although authorities said that the discoveries were not cause for alarm.

If they want to segregate so bad let’s put them on an ice flow and set them a drift
I really want to say something vile about the kind of people who think they’re better than everyone else because of their skin color.
But let’s just sit with the irony for a second.
These white supremacists are building a whites-only “Return to the Land” town—on stolen land.

He still remains detained.
Yesterday a California Faculty Association union leader, Professor Jonathan Caravello, was dragged away by four masked ICE agents while lawfully observing a raid.

Um…. So we’re wasting money on ICE so they can go for horsey rides in the park?
What the hell is going on at McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA! Looks like these militarized thugs are doing some kind of federal disappearing operation on street vendors in the park. This is only going to get worse with the new bloated ICE budget. #UnMaskICE

Might be a good idea for Dem controlled state and local governments to hold hearings now about what the big, ugly bill and cuts to FEMA, NOAA, HHS/NIH, etc are going to do to their communities.
