ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls
Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.

No offense taken! 😑 But protesting does get the attention of local leaders. Grassroots politicians pay attention to what’s going on with their constituents. Otherwise they won’t get re-elected. It starts at the bottom.

Trump is demented. My guess is he has no idea what’s going on. All he knows is he didn’t go to prison and that’s enough for him.

@ianbassin.bsky.social Just watched you on MSNOW & disagree that Trump convinced a majority of Americans to believe his lies. He convinced a little more than 1/3 of those who vote. The other 1/3 voted for Dems. The final 1/3 sat home. Don't give him fake gravitas.
