🚨🚨🚨If you live anywhere in the greater Chicago area…ICE will start using Great Lakes Naval Station as a command center for their “enforcement” operations across Chicago on Sept 5. The base isn’t in the city or Cook County. It’s north, in Lake County. Expect raids across entire the metropolitan area.

Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.

Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.

I guess if you're in a major city in a blue state, you have to start thinking about how you're going to successfully vote with the actual military attempting to prevent you. Because that's why the military is being moved into cities right now. They're being pre-mobilized to prevent voting.

FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.

🧵Remember the 3.5% rule: How a small minority can change the world. 3.5% of the US population (of 340 million) is just under 12 million people. The No Kings protests brought out 5 million Americans. So even a couple of months ago, we were nearly half way to the 3.5% benchmark.
