The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

Cynicism is a dark slimy inert energetic. It is immobile and immobilizing. It is a prison without walls. That’s what they want—human drones and slaves.
Start with a thought, a hope, a prayer, a post, self care.
Then a community meeting, a training, a protest
Get physically strong. Move!
Believe.

ETTD. Trump & Co. are burning it all down.
We will build anew—build back better.
Remember Trump's perennial complaint that other countries are taking advantage of US by not paying their fair share? Secretary General says the UN is on the verge of “imminent financial collapse,” b/c member states to aren't paying their dues, led by far by the US, which is $2.2 billion in arrears.
“Thoughts and prayers” has finally awakened to “pray and protest.”
People are reading this way wrong. Schumer detached DHS from the other five bills in return for a two week CR on the DHS bill. Now Democrats can make demands on DHS spending without having to shut down agencies covered in the other five bills. They have way more leverage to get real concessions.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Insane corruption
Y’all know that the reason that Trump and Co. don’t want any government services is because they want to steal all the money-yes. This is not a difficult concept.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

On top of everything else, they voted.
Minnesota voters showed up through freezing temperatures and violence in the streets, cold-blooded public assassinations, home invasions and kidnapping—and won.
Last night, in the wake of tragedy, Minnesota voters came together to end the Republican majority in the Minnesota House, electing Democrats Shelley Buck in District 47A and Meg Luger-Nikolai in District 64A.
Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.
This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Just a great game all around
An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:
The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files
Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:
