ICE HAS COMMITTED YET ANOTHER ATROCITY!

They deported & abandoned across the border little baby Juan NicolΓ‘s who's just 2-months-old & was unresponsive & hospitalized just this morning along with his 16-month-old sister & parents. The sick infant was only treated for a few hours.

Kristi Noem said: …”we've been proactive to make sure that we have the RIGHT people voting, electing the RIGHT leaders to lead.”
When they tell you who they are, BELIEVE them.

Kristi Noem said: …”we've been proactive to make sure that we have the RIGHT people voting, electing the RIGHT leaders to lead.” When they tell you who they are, BELIEVE them.

Noem’s statement should put us all on alert. It implies that the federal govt. should engineer outcomes of elections by choosing voters who will ensure THEIR preferred outcomes, rather than letting all eligible citizens participate freely. Sounds might white to me.

When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.

JANE FONDA: β€œI know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascismβ€”a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.
