SECRETARY NOEM MUST BE IMPEACHED.

I was outside ICE headquarters today to tell Secretary Noem that we are fed up with her Gestapo agents.

Over 180 members of Congress support impeachment because her actions are unconstitutional. The people have had enough.

A text post graphic from the Election Truth Alliance.org 

Did we hear "nationalize U.S. elections" again? Let's review best practices.

Hand-marked, hand-counted paper ballots, subject to documented chains of custody & transparent counting processes, are the gold standard globally for safe, secure elections. And yes, this includes mail-in voting. What matters most is how our votes are counted (and by whom).
 
The people vote and the people should countโ€”not the U.S. federal government with possible horses in the race.

If you want to nationalize U.S. elections, we recommend first reading up on Timothy Snyder and then studying best practices employed by other countries, such as Canada.

Might actually be a positive precedent and I also predict the Clintons testifying will backlash on T and MAGA.

They told us there was no money for healthcare.
No money for kids.
No money for families drowning in medical bills.

But thereโ€™s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty.

Thatโ€™s not a budget problem. Thatโ€™s a values problem.

Fund care, not punishment.

Valuable read:

"Moderation is more conventional than wise...strategic moderation often undermines the very credibility it seeks to build...An appeal to moderation may completely miss the mark with voters who want a candidate who projects strength and a willingness to challenge the system."

Trumpโ€™s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.

Trump has made 10,000 times his salary after just ONE year in office. How? Selling access to the White House to the highest bidder.

Spread the word: Our crook of a President is corrupt to his core and will stop at nothing to line his own pockets.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. Theyโ€™re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

California is protecting access to reproductive care. When federal attacks threatened Planned Parenthood, we stepped in, first with $172 million last year and now an additional $90 million, to keep doors open and care accessible for patients across our state. @ppfa.org

Mailing in hand-marked paper ballots is the most secure way to vote, and the hardest for them to steal or rig. And once you're registered, you don't need an ID to vote from the comfort of your own home. This is why Trump wants to prevent mail-in voting.

To me, it isn't only access to voter information, I doubt I'm the only person fearful paper ballots will be destroyed and other items tampered with.

Truly my pleasure.
The only other yellow clothing I have is my wildland/cliff rescue turnout shirt I've worn to demonstrations-your t shirt will be more comfortable, and beautiful (plus, I won't have to hide my FD name, and other identifiers)
