Itβs the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror
Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. Itβs definitely not essential work.

REPOST if you stand with Colbert against CBS and Donald Trump!
CBS canceled Colbertβs show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump β a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.
Shout this!

βThe frustration isnβt yet producing mass resignations or major internal protests, but the officers and agents described a workforce on edge, vilified by broad swaths of the public and bullied by Trump officials demanding more and more,β Nick Miroff writes.

ICE is a Nazi organization.
Trump administration will continue a program that allows certain employers to pay workers with disabilities less than minimum wage, effectively ending efforts to bring their wages in line with those of nondisabled workers.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country β and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.
