🚨 Trump: “We took the freedom of speech away.” I see fascism gaining momentum. One power we have is spending power. Use the power of the purse. Cut off those supporting him before it is too late! 1/3

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Look at his eyes - pure panic.

These "federal agents" are like clumsy mall cops with guns. No training, no control, no clue.

It’s a miracle they haven’t shot each other yet.

They're a danger to the public.

I think Trump would rather Congress never vote to reopen the government than let Adelrita Grijalva trigger the Epstein Files discharge. And I bet he doesn’t have a plan other than the Insurrection Act.

"At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They're allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they're robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

It’s the silence of the Republican House you need to hear. They aren’t doing anything. No oversight. No work. Trying to blame Democrats for their incompetence. We have voices. Use them peacefully and patriotically to protest your government. They want violence. Don’t give it to them.
