Shadow President and man who keeps the mass deportation trains running on time, Stephen Miller, is just fed up with being accurately labeled a fascist and a Nazi. Do not mock his looks, or his height, or the fact that he IS A FASCIST AND A NAZI.

Trump and congressional Republicans refused to make healthcare affordable, so instead they shut down the government.

That’s the bottom line.

Trump and his evil minions do not care if children die. I think they enjoy inflicting this kind of pain and devastation. The entire administration is sick.

If you are in Chicago and need guidance on how to interact with the Guard, here’s a helpful guide:

They need to sue ICE. That ICE officer needs to be charged and arrested. ICE needs to stop this insanity because they are who is causing all of this chaos. This is what happens when a wannabe dictator unleashes masked lawless angry incompetent agents.

To MAGA reconsidering their support for Trump, it is OK to change your mind. He lied to you. You know that. We all know that. Facts are facts. Please now consider joining people resisting his attempted fascist takeover of our country. Joining an October 18th event would be a good start.

So 🧊 agents, it is not going to get easier. The shunning will increase. You will rightfully be called every slur. Businesses will not give you service or use of their facilities. Where you sleep will be pummeled with loud sound. And it's likely people you thought loved you will disown you.

The good people in the United States wonder how the conservative Justices of SCOTUS can sleep at night. That is because good people cannot imagine selling out democracy and freedom to an orange wannabe dictator and his minions.
