This, and blatant corruption in our federal government, are the issues that will motivate a political takeover by the people

We can pay attention to more than one thing at a time, Mr. #Trumpstein. We haven’t forgotten.
A photo showing a younger Trump standing and smiling with Melania Trump, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghilane Maxwell. The graphic has a “TEAM PEDO” text tag above it, and a “Convict Trumpstein” below it.

The US is merely the military arm of the power elite and the Epstein class. This is why we can’t have nice things like health care and housing for all. Imagine if we as individuals could refuse to let our tax dollars go to the pentagon? Can we just send these guys to space already?

Of course, it probably has downsides we don’t know about yet, or might not be feasible at scale, or might not even be true, but it’s nice to see a little good news.

Bipartisan is a good thing when we’re talking about something like an infrastructure bill. But more funding for ICE abuse with our tax dollars shouldn’t have a single Democrat’s name on it. THIS IS WHAT PLAYING “BOTH SIDES” LOOKS LIKE.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

CNN found there were more ICE impersonation incidents in 2025 than the prior 4 presidential terms combined. It's not hard to see why. I requested a bill establishing that if you're not a law enforcement officer, you can't be wearing something that gives the impression you are.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

#ICE (Internal Control Extremists) is no longer a legitimate Federal agency. ICE for Trump what the SS (Schutzstaffel) was for Hitler; a paramilitary organization focused on intimidation of dissent by persecution of minorities, assaults and extrajudicial murders without legal accountability.

In all this madness, remember, they are deliberately defying a Congressional order to release ALL of the #Epstein files. To distract from this, they are invading countries, and murdering American citizens.

Another minimal, timid and bland statement from Sen. Maria #Cantwell @cantwell.senate.gov in response to ongoing horrific actions by ICE thugs. She is obviously more concerned with her own interests than ours, her constituents. Too bad we have to wait until 2030 to primary her out. #PNW #ICE
