This is a classic form of voter intimidationβ€”making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

β€œWe’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Why is it taking so many people so long to figure out that he wants to be the reincarnation of Hitler??!! That's why I call him "Trumpler". It is sooooo very obvious that he is a sadistic sociopath.

Q: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?"

Trump’s military pressure on Maduro evokes Latin America’s coup-ridden past US forces and CIA actions target Venezuela’s leader, recalling coups and assassinations across the region

We really do not want more American attacks on Latin American nations. The USA has been there, done that, and it was very, very bad for the people living there.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

This statement by JD Vance is no different from the people who claimed it’s β€œtotally reasonable and acceptable” for white folks to not want Black people in their neighborhoods

Or to enact covenants which exclude Jews and Italians

It’s blatant racism-coming from the very top of the US government
