My message remains the same a year later.

We don’t have kings in America, and I won’t bend the knee to one.

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

By demanding the unredacted (except for the victims) release of the Epstein files, Thomas Massie has become a target of the pedophile president. It's stunning that a congressman is so concerned that Trump will have him MURDERED, he feels the need to put out a statement like this.

I believe the big election steal by the repugnants is well underway. I'll bet the only 'illegitimate' voters they'll find will be Dems, they'll declare victory and and tie up any dissent in the courts for years.

Trump insider Tom Barrack kept in regular contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years, files show Tom Barrack, a top U.S. diplomat and longtime friend of President Trump, networked and socialized with Epstein for years, CBS News found.

Still alive. We should ask him questions.

O'Keefe to Homan: "2 agents now on leave bc video evidence shows sworn testimony appears to be untruthful. DHS initially said officer who shot the migrant was being ambushed. Combine that w/ 2 deadly shootings & a Chicago incident where evidence contradicted govt - does this undermine trust in ICE?"

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ One year after being told resistance was futile, we are still here. What began in fear has become collective power. We learned that public service is refusal, memory, and care held in common. Give yourself permission to believe this can be won. We are not leaving.

Of course they lied.

MAP: All 23 industrial warehouses ICE wants to turn into detention β€˜death camps’ In an apparent attempt to avoid public outcry and scrutiny, ICE has sought to secure these leases in private. So we made a searchable map of every proposed site.

🧊 had secretly bought up warehouses across the country to use as detention death camps. But local residents where the camps would be located have fought back by putting pressure on local officials w/great success. See the map to determine if your town is affected & call your local officials to πŸ›‘ it.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the β€œbaby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Putin wants to get all of Donbas to sell such a victory to the Russians. We will never withdraw troops, 200 thousand Ukrainians live there, - Zelensky.

Can it get any clearer? Putin wants total control of occupied Ukraine then later the rest of Ukraine. His Washington poodle Trump wants the same.
