The US is being terrorized by a domestic terror organization called ICE. They are going door-to-door. They are stealing and kidnapping people. They have killed over 30 people so far. We are being terrorized by the US government and what you have to do first is acknowledge it.

This IS the result of the Supreme Court of the United States of America giving the most amoral person in America immunity from his crimes. Crimes that stack up daily. Including 115 counts of 1st-degree murder of unarmed civilians suspected of crimes not punishable by the death penalty.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

🧵The “about CDC” webpage got a makeover with a long list of CDC “priorities” added. It's worth a read esp if you receive any grant funding from CDC. TL;DR: CDC will de prioritize grant funding for anything the admin disagrees with regardless of data or public need www.cdc.gov/about/cdc/in... 👇

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."
