This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Requiring a birth certificate, Real ID, or passport to purchase a gun could reduce fraudulent purchases and ensure buyers meet legal requirements… And should be just as essential as requiring identification for voting. WHO AGREES?! 🤚

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY! Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs. He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳

It was an honor to join Minnesota’s veterans at the Capitol today. We have a shared responsibility to take care of those who put their lives on the line to fight for our democracy and our freedom. In Minnesota, we’re proud to honor that commitment.

If you claim to stand for freedom but work to limit it for others, you’re not defending freedom — you’re defending privilege.

I'm old enough to remember way back in history, when GDP Growth in the USA was 2.5% and the Stock Markets weren't crashing, incomes were up, unemployment was down, and 16 million new jobs were created. Oh, wait, that was last November.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Context makes this video worse. He’s skipping the dignified transfer of American soldiers who died in Lithuania to go golfing. On the same day his tariffs sent stocks PLUMMETING. He literally does not give a shit about you.

This is former Air Force officer Wendy Rogers. She retired after 20 years in 1996. She flew C-141 cargo aircraft. She has now been out of the military for 29 years. Yes...she has been out of the military for 29 years and is wearing her little flight suit still. I've seen try hards...but damn.
