Excellent thread, Nicky
"I defected from a totalitarian regime, and like hell am I going to be cowed again," & "I'm pissed off as hell about people capitulating to Trump"

She warns that people voting for such leaders are choosing "the same ball of wax" she fled, where figures dictate life, rights, & feelings.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

If the GOP don’t remove Trump from office by his address tomorrow night, all that follows including the deaths of our men and women (our children) in the military, is directly on them. There are 1000’s of reasons for him to be removed. He’s going to declare war on Venezuela and grab war time power.

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals.

But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force.

Our country has defeated fascism before and it is time we fight to uphold our legacy.

Warmonger Trump, who campaigned on getting us out of foreign conflicts and focusing on the economy, has been bombing and threatening other countries nonstop since he got in office and is now going to war with Venezuela for oil to distract from his wretched economic record.

Let me guess. With his track record, Trump has appointed himself as Chief Body Inspector and Republicans are fine with it.

Profit motive over everything else?

Because these are the vulnerable who have few to speak for them?

Law enforcement doesn't have to include dehumanization and abuse.

Privatization isn’t an answer to EVERYTHING.
🎯 CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER @oliverma2026.bsky.social: “The detention centers are run by private prison companies (like @CoreCivic) — they make millions PER PERSON… that’s why they’re looking for anybody brown, so they can keep stealing from taxpayers.”

🚨 #GVerse DISTURBING VIDEO!

In Minnesota, #FuckICE agents handcuffed a pregnant woman, forced her onto her stomach, and pressed their knees and body weight into her while a crowd screamed that she was pregnant.

She wasn’t resisting. She wasn’t a threat.
