Gov. Abbott said Texans don’t run from a fight. But that is what Republicans are doing by redrawing maps so they win without fighting or earning votes.

This and other articles say that MAGA has made major cuts to weather forecast services, including monitoring hurricanes. The people affected expected much less rainfall, and they got twice what they were told.

I took this photo this week at the Capitol Reef NP. The flag was attached to a tree post as it waved brightly among ominous dark clouds. More than ever, I am concentrating on the last 5 words of the pledge of allegiance that I hope everyone takes to heart today: β€œWith liberty and justice for ALL.”

Only despots threaten to strip away U.S. citizenship and deport their political rivals and enemies.

Want to know what Trump & his allies think of ALL Latinos, whether U.S. citizens or not? Trump ally Laura Loomer said they should send ALL of us to be killed at Alligator Alcatraz. No, this is not the slightest bit funny, unless you think Hitler’s actions were cute

There’s something deeply wrong with a society that watches people get snatched by masked men in unmarked cars & looks the other way.

Rep @kamlager-dove.house.gov, describes an alarming system of relocating detainees, making it nearly impossible for their families to find them or get legal counsel.

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

Powerful video…

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves.

If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such.

🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

ICE forces U.S. Army Purple Heart veteran to deportβ€”after taking 2 bullets in combat.

Sae Joon Park "miraculously" survived being shot in spineβ€”then given 3 weeks to deport to South Korea.

Will miss dying mother's funeralβ€”then his daughter's wedding.

Was legally in U.S. under deferred action.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.
