This is mine. My name is not on it for safety reasons and a friend set it up. In Iowa, I have no civil rights anymore as they were revoked. No, I cannot get a loan: Iowa says nonbinary people can be discriminated against for that now.

This is a watershed moment. Senator Padilla getting thrown to the ground and handcuffed. Trump admitting his mass deportations are targeting hard-working people that are contributing vitally to the US economy. Trump sending troops into a US city that even local law enforcement didn't ask for. 1/
