You wouldn’t have a single house built without Mexicanos. You wouldn’t have strawberries or tomatoes or cantaloupe or cabbage or lettuce or the grapes to make your Chardonnay or Merlot without the backbreaking work of Mexicanos. White ppl demonize the very ppl who literally put food on your plate.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

"Republicans insist that when you cut taxes for the wealthy, it’s like feeding Popeye a can of spinach; pumped with this almost magical fuel, the entire economy will burst with new power and vitality. There will be so much economic activity that revenues will surge, and deficits will even go down."

This is what Trump's government thugs are willing to do in broad daylight, to a US Senator, with cameras on. They are sending the message that anyone who disagrees with Trump isn't safe in America. This is authoritarianism.

A panel of antivaxxers in charge of vaccine recommendations, approvals, and insurance coverage…to gatekeep vaccines from Americans. The goal has always been to take away all vaccines, and it is disgraceful that so many in the media and in power pretended it could ever be anything but that. For shame

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.
