The biggest signal an American human can ever receive that they are deeply and profoundly fucking up is finding themselves as the bad guy in a Bruce Springsteen song.

ICE / DHS employees: I know there’s way more alarm internally than is public. Text me via signal at 202-510-1268. I’ll protect your anonymity

That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

If any Democrat in the Senate votes to fund ICE, they are voting for the summary execution of American citizens. It’s really that simple.

Altered image depicting President Trump receiving the Grammy from Milli Vanilli (who, for those who might not remember that far back, to 1990, after they received their Grammy for Best New Artists had their award revoked when it was discovered they were discovered to have been lip syncing over other talents' vocals)
This would mean a lot more than all of the other "exchanges" so far...
