Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 23/12/2025I just watched the 60 Minutes CECOT segment. The last time the United States was connected to torture of individuals and systemic prison abuse of this level was Abu Ghraib. Border crossings may be down, but the end doesn’t justify the means. Someone will eventually be held accountable. 000
Reposted by Denita LongJack Hopkins-The Original @therealjackhopkins.bsky.social · 03/11/2025ICE...in its current form...is not a "law enforcement agency" that should exist in any country on earth. Everything about the way they are operating is light-years away from being consistent with what this country is about. We have seen evidence that many of the people employed by ICE are bad news. 21743501351
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 26/10/2025This is the current price at Harris Teeter. Last time I bought it was before the tariffs went into effect and I paid $11.99. No mater how hard we try, coffee cant be grown in the U.S. 010
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 25/10/2025“When Congress passed the Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930, we were told that it would protect America from foreign competition and save jobs in this country—the same line we hear today. The actual result was the Great Depression.” –Ronald Reagan (1988) 020
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 16/10/2025I started posting these on July 4 last year. Lots of other people did, too. We tried to warn of what would happen. Now, Federal oversight and funding of special education for those children with challenges no longer exists. 000

Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 07/09/2025I’ve spent a lot of time in Chicago over the years. This is the Chicago I know. It is NOT the hellhole Trump wants you to think it is. #chicago 192
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 07/09/2025The VEEP doesn’t give a shit about people killed with no due process, no proof. He doesn’t give a shit about the law. He doesn’t give a shit about life. The people running our country are thugs. 120
Reposted by Denita LongGovernor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 06/09/2025The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator. 20183561310924
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Two of the chief complaints in the Declaration of Independence were about the King unilaterally setting tariffs and stationing soldiers in American cities to prevent crime and quell protests. That every American doesn’t know this is another example of the utter failure of our education system. 010

Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 14/07/2025We have a pair of bats that come out every night at dusk. I so enjoy watching them fly all around the yard chasing their evening meal and taking care of business for us. 020
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 13/07/2025When Democrats/Liberals regain control, the very first order of business needs to be removing the deadline for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment and immediate publication by the archivist. 000
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 12/07/2025The denial of due process by ICE is resulting in US citizens being denied constitutional rights. Dr. Jonathan Caravello was detained during the #Camarillo raids. His lawyer and fellow faculty members have been unable to find him. He is one of many U.S. citizens detained. THIS HAS TO STOP! 076
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 11/07/2025The majority of the coin does not support Trump on his immigration policy. 020
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 06/07/2025The 13th Amendment permits enslavement “as punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.” Trump’s already discussing putting undocumented immigrant detainees in fields & businesses by putting them under the authority of those hiring them calling it owner responsibility.3/3 000
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 06/07/2025In the U.S., states control the police powers. However, the Constitution gives immigration powers to the federal government. The BBB includes $170 billion for ICE, more than the FBI, DEA, ATF, Marshal Service, and Bureau of Prisons combined. 2/3 100
Denita Long @threecatslady.bsky.social · 06/07/2025Trumps idea of a “golden age” is a combination of Reconstruction era slave labor and unbridled Gilded Age wealth for him and his cronies. 1/3 110
