Absolutely disgusting. Now we add ICE raids to the list of things children and faculty have to worry about on a daily basis. 😡

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

I’m afraid were past this. We need this and then some. We need civil rights era public sit-ins, peaceful protests on the streets, AND citizen led economic destabilization. I agree with you through in that if we cause enough resistance theres no limit to the freedom we can return to We The People. 💙

So true. We need major policy reform that benefits more than just one side. Glad to see there are other like minded individuals. I just want as many people as possible to be happy. It’s definitely an ongoing effort.

Aww, thank you. I just can’t sit back and say I did nothing. The impact to my mental health is worth it to me if I can make a difference for others in the end. At the end of the day we all have more in common with one another than we do our differences.

We tried to vote our way out. Remember, we elected Obama, who ran on wealth inequality. But we were fooled. It was already too late. Obama pacified us with the Republican version of healthcare and called it Obamacare, bailed out the banks, then oversaw Citizens United. Fight, leave, or acquiesce.

Don’t forget Article 3 of the 14th amendment. Congress disregarded that in the constitution too. Glad I got my passport and started researching citizenships when I did. I’ve seen the signs of slow walking into plutocracy before unfortunately…

Revolution…. It only takes 3.5% of a population to successfully start ome. Peaceful protests are 2x as likely to succeed over violent ones. Let’s start getting organized. Otherwise we are all going to be stuck in a plutocracy. Time is ticking…⏰

And how do you do that when the 1% control the populism. I’m sounding like a broken record here when I say the 1% is the issue. I agree that democracy needs to return. I’m not trying to argue that. However, it’s kinda hard to have democracy when you have the richest man on 🌎 buying elections…

There are many, many problems to sort out. We’re definitely deep in the mud on this one. I wish there was a clear path to take but life is so complex in 2025 everything turns into a moral dilemma. One that has multiple potential impacts, no matter the choice.

We are witnessing the beginning stages of the “rug pull presidency.” Trump, his family, and his cronies are already profiting off the office to the tune of billions of dollars. Your life will not get better. Not one bit. In the end, it will the American people left holding the bag.

Agreed. It’s time everyone realizes that the problem isn’t Republicans vs Democrats its the top 1% versus the rest of us. We need to start having each others’ backs because our government obviously won’t. America has openly entered into a plutocracy.

I’m on kind of the line between them: I believe in democracy, but I also believe our current 2 party system is beyond broken. Something definitely needs to change. Once enough people realize that is the moment will get close enough to the 3.5%.

So true. Think of The American Revolution, The Civil War, and The Civil Rights Era. When we stand together we are a formidable force. Remember it only take 3.5% of a population to start a revolution. Lets organize, prepare, and stand up against the plutocracy were living in. It’s us vs the 1%. 💪

Yup, completely duped for their vote. I hope this is a wake up call for many. There still a chance to recover from this but we all need to come together, not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans. MAGA is bad for everyone and it’s time we start looking out for each other and not a conman.

Unfortunately, he is never going to focus on that. He used those as ruses to play to your emotions. He said it himself, “ I don’t care about you I just want your vote.”
