How do you send an innocent man - Abrego Garcia -to an El Salvadoran prison, get ordered by the highest court to return him and then simply refuse to.And get away with it.It’s unfathomable how people are just ignoring this human rights crisis. Wake up America.This could be anyone - including you.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

They are coming after anyone with views not consistent with MAGA. America is no longer a democracy - buckle up for the upcoming rebellion and civil war in the coming months.
