Trump/GOP took your money, our tax payer dollars to pay for his ICE thuggery! ICE is terrorizing citizens throughout the nation, maiming & killing law abiding men, women, & children! Trump/GOP took our $ that was previously used to fund our schools, help reduce healthcare costs etc. & put into ICE!

The first sale of Venezuelan oil went to a guy who donated $6 million to Trump. The proceeds are now in a bank in Qatar.

Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?

This is the story of the day. Share it. We are all being called to be our highest selves. The cavalier treatment of the Nobel Prize is a disgrace. It represents another way to destroy and defile that which should be precious and revered. We can all make choices to be better.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Yearβs Eve. And like RenΓ©e Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need yβall to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

If McConnell had allowed the GOP-controlled Senate to impeach Trump after January 6, 2021, none of this would be happening. Republicans MUST be punished for their corruption and the damage they're inflicting on the United States by losing their seats in Congress. VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS IN 2026.

This is exactly right. They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now. Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting. Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.

More than 1,000 βICE outβ rallies planned across the U.S. today. NYC: chanting the name RenΓ©e Good. Signs reading βAbolish ICE.β A sign even calling for Trump to be put in jail. Anti-ICE marches are making it clear, people are done being scared, done being erased, done pretending this is normal.

It's also absurd to see so many agents being sent to other states for political stunts, rather than pursuing felony crimes in their home states. I yet again demand that the federal government return our DEA agents to Arizona so we can more aggressively go after the Mexican drug cartels.

As Arizonaβs top law enforcement officer, I want to remind all federal agents of my expectations for them in our state: respect the law, do not mask, de-escalate violence when possible and stay OUT of schools, hospitals, and churches.

This week, we have seen the escalations of violence by ICE agents in Minneapolis and Portland, including the horrific shooting of Renee Nicole Good. It is outrageous that state and local law enforcement independent investigations are not being supported by the feds.

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do. The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.
