This made me ugly cry 😭

I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another.
But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty πŸ˜”

Vet: You know I'm a Marine Corps veteran?
ICE: I don't care what you are!
[ICE drags her from car & then points taser at passenger]

If only Donald Trump could read:

β€œOUR AMERICAN CODE OF MILITARY OBEDIENCE REQUIRES THAT, SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW.”

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

A lot of disinformation is circulating about what Senators/Representatives Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan actually said. Here is the transcript. It contains no accusation that the President issued unlawful orders, no call to disobey lawful orders, and no advocacy of mutiny.

Two Texas men charged in shocking plot to invade Haitian island Prosecutors say two Texas men plotted to invade Haiti’s Gonave Island, kill its male residents and enslave women and children. (Credit: FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth)

See, this is where racism and the belief of superiority over others makes White men like these two plot shyt like this.

So, two white guys plotted to roll up on a island off of Haiti and take over. Pffft!

Yeah, okay.🀭

My goodness! Where were their fathers?

As ICE descends on Charlotte, faith leaders draw on other cities' actions to aid immigrants (RNS) β€” As many as 500 people, a mix of clergy and other volunteers, have appeared at the training sessions on how to counter ICE.

NEW: Churches in Charlotte are hosting trainings on how to response to ICE agents β€” with *hundreds* filling pews.

At one training, a child led those gathered in "This Little Light of Mine" β€” but changed the words to β€œAll around Border Patrol, I’m gonna let it shine" religionnews.com/2025/11/20/a...

When you’ve said, β€œThis can’t become the norm!,” for over 10 years, you must realize that as a society…we absolutely allowed it…to become the norm.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets πŸ’₯

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not.

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.

In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

I miss having a REAL President.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.
