Trump’s racial profiling ICE goons to 🇺🇸 citizen: “Turn around or you’re gonna get the dog.”

He's intervening on behalf of his son-in-law who is part of the Paramount deal, along with Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern Nations who are funding it. Netflix is funding their bid all by themselves. Their desire to support genocide outweighs their desire to suppress Israel.

🚨🚨🚨HOLLYWOOD IS BEING REBUILT TO CLEAN UP ISRAEL’S IMAGE

Paramount isn’t being pushed to buy Warner Bros. for any real business strategy. It is because powerful people want a studio leadership that will protect Israel’s reputation after the global backlash that shattered its public image for their

PA residents criticize trump’s economy:

“We had to suffer going almost a week with no food…The economy is down the tubes. Healthcare is awful, scripts are terrible, groceries are off the charts. I think the only way we’re going to do better is if he gets out & somebody else gets in.”

Great choice of words.

When a mother loses her baby, she carries it in her mouth for weeks, until it decomposes. This mourning process is known as requiem.😪

JUST IN: Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Snell just confirmed, at the prodding of U.S. Magistrate Judge Keri Holleb Hotaling, that this motion for dismissal followed a "no bill" from a grand jury.

That means the grand jury refused to indict.

Except fascists are a particular political party from a particular time in history. These goons aren't fascists, they're MAGAts.

Of course. Never take anything to a protest you aren't prepared to lose.

You can't identify the clerk at the cop shop who stole your ring? Are they all wearing masks and taping over their badge numbers?

Glitter bombs. ICE hates that.

> These ICE terrorists are torturing people for what? 🤔

For shits and giggles. The cruelty is the point. That's why they're called terrorists.

Never forget, never forgive.

You've never heard of civil asset forfeiture, have you? She'll be lucky to get her driver's license back. Don't take anything to the protest you're not willing to lose.

They want us afraid to protest. Go. We all need to go. They should be - must become - afraid of us. Not the current so-afraid-they-send-20-to-arrest-1 but so-afraid-they-don't-go-out-and-stay-in-their-bunker-hiding-behind-the-National-Guard.

Gold fillings next.

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.”

Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

Remind me: Did Brett Kavanaugh include having your wedding band cut in pieces among the minor inconveniences of being arrested by ICE as a US citizen?

AFFORDABILITY…Remember, Trump’s biggest campaign promise was to bring grocery prices down on DAY ONE. Now he is saying ‘affordability’ is a “Democrat hoax and scam.” 😡 That’s because he lied again. Groceries, gas, electricity, housing, healthcare and inflation have all risen. 😡

I got up at 7:00 and it was dark. It was just starting to get light outside by 7:30. Some idiots want to push that to 8:30 by making DST permanent. They passed a law here making DST permanent as soon as Congress allows it. If it ever goes into affect it won't last the first winter.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

Poll: Here’s what Americans’ affordability problems look like Results from The POLITICO Poll paint a grim portrait of Americans’ spending constraints across nearly every part of their lives.

Nearly half of Americans said they find groceries, utility bills, health care, housing and transportation difficult to afford, according to The POLITICO Poll conducted last month by Public First.
