Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of three who built houses in Houston, started his own business, and raised his family here for 35 years. His son became a teacher. ICE agents killed him in cold blood. 🧵

Remember when we got rid of the "deep state" so we could no longer have stupid wars in the middle east, we wouldn't waste billions of tax dollars in government contracts to deep state allies, and we could release the Epstein Files.

Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. 2/4

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

Dear Social Media- It is actually possible to deplore Hamas/Oct7 and the Islamic Republic of Iran while also rejecting the actions of Israel amongst civilians and it is possible to want violent criminals to be locked up or deported without supporting ICE kidnapping children and shooting civilians.
