Know The Facts and ...

Here's some information, some facts, of what's happening in this country and what  we want, what we’re getting, and how do we make our needs heard …


An ICE officer walked up to a Southwest gate at a Dallas airport and said he needed to board the plane. The gate agent asked a simple question:

“Do you have a warrant signed by a judge?”

He replied ‘No,’ but said he had an administrative warrant—a form ICE fills out for itself. It is not a judicial warrant and does not give an officer the right to walk down a jet bridge.

So the agent said, ‘No.’ The ICEstapo asked for the passenger list and was again told, ‘No.’ He asked to look at the computer screen while people boarded, so he could see the names himself. No again.

Three refusals. He left without an arrest.

Here's what makes this matter beyond one flight. The ICEstapo counts on people not knowing the difference between the two kinds of warrants. That confusion is the tool. It is how doors get opened that don't legally have to be opened.

One person at a gate knew the difference and acted on it, alone, mid-shift, with no lawyer standing behind them and no guarantee anyone would ever hear about it.

That's not a small thing. That's the whole thing. Know your rights.

That’s The Resistance.


Here’s a quick message to all sane Republicans and I know you’re out there:

He pardoned 1600 violent criminals and you said nothing.

He bulldozed the East Wing and you said nothing.

He interfered with the release of the Epstein Files and you said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and named it after himself and you said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million gift from a  foreign government and you said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil and you said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide and you said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations and you said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one and you said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allied and you said nothing.

His ICEstapo terrorized and murdered US citizens and you said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas and you said nothing.

He co-opted the Department of Justice and directed it to prosecute his enemies and you said nothing.

It’s time you start talking.


Attorney General Todd Blanche AKA the President’s Personal Attorney said:

“I’m not sure of the uproar of having Border Patrol or ICE at a polling station. What’s the risk?”

Here’s the answer, Todd:

Because it’s illegal. Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held, to prevent interference and intimidate.

You’d think the so-called Attorney General would know that.


Now, let’s talk about the GOP and their campaign of fear regarding transgender athletes and show some facts:

There are more active Ku Klux Klan chapters in this country than there are trans athletes.

There have been more child marriages in this country this year than there are trans athletes.

There have been more school shootings in America in 2026 than there are trans athletes.

There are more antigovernment extremist groups in almost every single state in this country than there are trans athletes.

It’s not trans athletes; it’s fear mongering and hate speech.


And the lies don’t stop … Cankles is taking credit for the cost of prescription drugs prices falling 3.1%, the biggest drop since 1963 but … Medicare’s first negotiated drug prices kicked in this year, cutting prices on 10 major drugs by 38% to 79% because of ...

Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

A law that not one single Republican voted for and yet they are taking credit.

 

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men in the world, wants YOU—not me because I don’t buy anything from  Amazon—to tip his employees during these hot summer months.

I guess $40 to $80 million a day doesn’t buy as many bottles of water as we thought.

EAT THE RICH!

 

So, if it’s safe to mail Tax Refunds, Social Security Checks, Stimulus Checks, Prescription Drugs, Passports, Driver’s Licenses or the actual ID that you need to vote, then why isn’t is safe to Vote By Mail?

Asking for a country.

 

I understand why people are having such a hard time deciding which party to vote for in the Midterms.

I mean, the Democrats may have disappointed you.

And then with Republicans you have Child-Raping Murderers running Concentration Camps with our Tax Dollars draining the US Treasury directly into their Offshore Bank Accounts while making the Planet uninhabitable and the Food Poisonous.

It’s a real Sophie’s Choice, isn’t it?


So Vote as if ...

Your skin is not white 

You need medical care 

Your spouse is an immigrant 

Your land is on fire 

Your child is transgender

Your home is flooded

Your sister is a victim of gun violence 

Your brother is gay 

Your water is unsafe 

Your daughter is a sexual assault survivor 

Privilege has no place in elections but empathy does.


And this is your reminder that no federal election in the United States has ever been canceled or postponed due to war or any other reason.

The US Constitution does not grant any President any authority to unilaterally delay or cancel a federal election.

Period.

  3. 33% in this country still whole-heartedly support him. That seems like a small percentage of the overall --- until you realize that includes the entire administration Cabinet, all Congressional Republicans, and a large portion of the Department of Justice.
    I read just this morning that as a sailor from the Lincoln was due to arrive home...ICE arrested his father. What a fucking country we have going.

    Regarding mail-in voting, Trump recently voted by mail himself! What a ****ing hypocrite! The only mail-in votes he is really against are those which go to Democrat candidates.
    P.S. I wonder how Natalie Harp is today?

    1. That's what the MAGAts don't understand; Cankles calls mail-in voting rigged and yet he does it. But then he only says Democrats who mail in vote are rigging things cuz he's, you know, stupid AF.

  10. I am pretty sure that they will declare some kind of "emergency", how ever it is called, that will enable the POOH (the President Of Our Hearts) to send in the National Guard, and of course this so called "police" (what is nothing else but his private army). It is a chance to take over for reals, to get rid of these elections ; and with the crumbling state of the POOH, and the forming resistance, it is a "last chance" - and they will try.
    I find it very menacing that this guy Jeffries is in "talks" with the POOHs son in law. I hope I am wrong.

  11. Canada is fully justified in walking away from trade negotiations with the U.S.... our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, noted in his speech last Friday that "Trump's signature is written in pencil", clearly confirming that the current U.S. administration is an untrustworthy trade partner. Once lost, trust is almost impossible to repair. Average Americans have and will continue to pay a high monetary cost for this U.S. administration's protectionist, "America First" tariff policies. Who will want trade deals with the U.S.?

    1. Collusion, complicity, and dangerous liaisons will destroy the United States from within. You are facing a battle royal to restore your democracy and your nation.
      Mr. Dupuis

      Which is why we step up, speak up, act up, and vote, and help all Americans vote to end this regime.

      C'est pourquoi nous nous mobilisons, nous faisons entendre notre voix, nous passons à l'action et nous votons — et nous aidons tous les Américains à voter pour mettre fin à ce régime.

  13. The saddest part?
    Some people only react when it happens to them or someone they know. When ICE is at their doors.
    Fascism happens with the silent compliance of people with privilege.
