(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits: paid for by cuts to reproductive health care paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid paid for by cuts to SNAP paid for by cuts to clean energy projects paid for by cuts to obesity prevention paid for by cuts to disaster response paid for by cuts to energy tax credits

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

"American cities should be Safe Sanctuaries for Law Abiding American Citizens ONLY."
Then stop MURDERING law-abiding Americans for the crime of not supporting you! Being in the vicinity of a protest with a gun is not a crime. Your agents murdered Alex Pretti for not supporting your fascist ass.
A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it...

I get why people say this, but I was a Republican Christian in 2016. The hypocrisy disgusted me, so I cut all ties with the Republican party. True, those who have tolerated this for 10 years don't care about hypocrisy. But many Gen Z were too young to see it in Trump 1.0. We can open their eyes now.

Murdered while standing up to bullies in his city. Then falsely smeared in the media as an agitator with an agenda. Do not believe the lies. He could be any one of us standing against evil, but evil cannot get us all if we stand against it!
