MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONEโ€ผ๏ธ

They didnโ€™t just deport himโ€”they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement programโ€”fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

For America's Survival, His Supporters Must Be Ostracized Decent people need to face a really painful truth at this point:

If we are going to salvage our Republic from this massive wrecking ball of cruelty and criminality, it is going to be necessary for the good people of this nation to sever ties with those still loyal to him.

Iโ€™ve got a lot of problems w/what RFK Jr says hereโ€”but worst is his description of people on the autism spectrum as unable to contribute.

This is the Trump adminโ€™s war on diversity: if youโ€™re not their version of โ€œperfect,โ€ youโ€™re not worthy.

Thanks to Holly Robinson Pete, for setting it straight.

Dear senators who think you canโ€™t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing youโ€™re thinking about doing? DO IT.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

The vast majority of Americans are fully sickened to our core by the violence visited upon you every day, with help from our President and his party.
