ICE agents are parading around America’s streets in the same gear I wore in combat overseas. It’s Commando Cosplay. And it’s bullshit. Federal agents should be targeting violent criminals, not murdering American civilians.
I joined @seiu.org to protest Republicans' latest reconciliation bill which includes $350 billion more for Trump's immigration enforcement machine. Democrats have been successful in withholding funding for ICE, so Republicans are trying to abuse the reconciliation process to push ICE $ through.

Mehdi Hasan reveals the "receipts" on Israeli aggression. 🏛️📜 He explains why Bill Maher’s claims about "defensive wars" are historically false, citing Israeli PMs and Generals who admitted to starting conflicts in 1956 and 1967. History matters. 📉⚖️ #Zeteo #Debunked

The “cosplay soldiers” of ICE are the least qualified and most poorly trained government agents in US history. PAXIS.app (now in the hands of thousands) gives immigrants and allies the constitutional and legal strategies to deal with them. Fight ICE: www.gofundme.com/f/PAXIS
Big corporations have way too much power in America today, and the President has doubled down on it by filling up their coffers and giving them a seat at the table in decisions of war and peace. This is an outrage, and in Congress I’m working to bring the power back where it belongs: We the People.

Zionist settlers installed screens in a square to watch the ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon, as if it were a soccer match, cheering every bomb that explodes against the homes of Lebanese families. These psychos did similar in Gaza, this flaunting of genocide is not normal.

Everything here is so impressive. Focusing on the subtle details. Simple, but coming behind Teaira McCowan to give her an outlet to start it. Snaking around McCowan, filthy tween cross to get by an agressive DeWanna Bonner. Continuing to snake, and finding McCowan's rim run.
My opponent trades stocks of businesses that appear before the very committees on which he serves in Congress. I don’t trade stocks. I don’t take corporate PAC money. I don’t treat Congress like a personal self-enrichment fund. I stand up and fight for working families.
