I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

I see on-the-ground evidence *on a daily basis* of how people's involvement in No Kings, Indivisible, 50501 has grown into ICE monitoring, flock camera protests, city council blowups over data centers and running for office. THAT was the point of No Kings, all along, from my perspective.

A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center. ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad. Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.

If there was ever a time for all Texans to consider character of the candidates in this race, not just whether there is a D or R next to their name, it is the U.S. Senate race this year. Paxton is not even attempting to address his many scandals. He is hoping Texans will not care.

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

“You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

A frustrating thing about politics is sometimes you like a candidate's message, you like the values they project, you like their background. But it turns out they did pretty bad, terrible, disqualifying things. And the energy you put into that candidate was wasted. And then, you move on.

lol Mike Lee is still on one, tweeting from his shit-posting account. He thought that when the govt was choosing favored religions, his would be among them. He’s having a big sad because he’s learned he was wrong.

A tweet from Mike Lee says:
The West Point Glee Club
performed "Onward Christian Soldiers" on the Ed Sullivan
Show in 1954
I'm glad they weren't asked to sing "Onward Christian
Soldiers, Excluding Latter-day Saints"
The Pentagon shouldn't disparage the beliefs of Americans willing to die for their country

Mike Lee tweeted:
I'm not talking about what individual Christians might think
I'm talking about the U.S. government
I can say confidently that the
U.S. government has no business recognizing the Christianity of literally every other religious sect that worships Jesus Christ-with one exception

The quoted tweet from Bethel McGrew:
I really respect Mike Lee in a lot of ways and believe he's accomplished some good things, but his ongoing crusade to guilt Christians…

Mike Lee tweeted:
Children in my church—The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—know this song, "I Will Walk With Jesus"
Pay attention to the words
If this isn't emblematic of Christian faith, I don't know what is
