The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.” No warrant. No due process. No rights. Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass. #MAGAKidnappers

Thank you to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for pointing out that we make money on our public lands every single year. Why would we sell them when they are a reliable form of income? www.blm.gov/sites/defaul...

I understand why Democrats are being restrained about this but the right's effort to lie about what happened here is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and requires vociferous pushback. The shooter appears to have been an anti-abortion zealot and a Trump voter. Don't let them avoid this.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

The vast majority of people Trump is terrorizing have done nothing wrong. They came here to work, to give their families a better life. Trump should try acting like a president at least once.
