These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

Will Fox be updating their story on this and giving it the same amount of airtime as they did initial arrest?

Exploitation? Not Just for the Rich and Powerful

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

1/The law requires a judicial warrant based on probable cause signed by a judge to enter a home or private area in a biz (not an administrative one signed by an “immigration authority” ie a DHS employee). This is clearly unlawful conduct. ICE can’t change the law just because it doesn’t like it.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Recently I inquired about a friend’s family member, asking her if they regretted voting Trump. She scolded me, saying she disliked my impulse to talk down about or shame anyone. I deserved the scold, in part because I’d started the conversation on text, oops. It brought me to reflect - (1/6)

Why is the Trump administration detaining green card holders without cause, blocking legal counsel, and refusing to tell families where they are? Will Kim has lived here since he was five. He’s getting his PhD, researching a Lyme disease vaccine at Texas A&M—and ICE disappeared him at SFO.

Not sure if anyone noticed, No Kings was a massive non violent, no problem protest. It's because we were out in massive number. When there are too many people, they have nothing. It's more difficult to stop us when we stand together in large numbers.
