@narindertweets@ShabanaMahmood It’s plain wrong. These are the most diligent and kind people holding social care together and doing it well. I see first hand the challenges and fears they face every day. They´re still out there smiling and genuinely caring for our vulnerable people.
The world can see what’s going on, yet I see people on social media saying there will be elections and nobody can stop them.
Firstly, I’m not convinced anymore, but assuming they do go ahead, does anyone honestly believe they are going to be free and fair?
Trump is not going to be brought down in an election, it will be the economy that does the job and it’s going to HURT A LOT. Like a generation to repair lot.

BREAKING: An ICE agent gets charged with battery after an alleged violent altercation with a 68-year-old activist in Illinois — finally demonstrating that these masked thugs are not above the law.
The tide is turning against Trump's secret police...
According to the Brookfield Police Department, officers responded to an alleged battery at a gas station near an ICE processing facility on December 27th. The victim was attorney Robert Hold and he was filming ICE officer Adam Saracco when Saracco — like so many recruits in Trump's glorified gestapo force — decided to escalate the situation by approaching him.
“He put the gas hose down, and he started briskly walking towards me. When he got closer, he broke into a run, and I was stunned. He put his hands on me. He threw me to the ground and aggressively was on top of me, trying to grab my phone,” Held said.
Saracco was off duty at the time of the alleged attack. One imagines that he was less-than-thrilled about having his unobscured face on camera. There's a reason that these cowards wear masks while on duty. Held posted a video of the incident the following day and it quickly went viral.
“This is about our First Amendment right to film what government agents do in our communities. If they can attack one person with a camera, they can scare everyone else into looking away. Don’t look away,” Held stated.
While Held was thankfully not injured, the incident could have easily taken a turn for the worse. We've seen time and again that when ICE escalates, people often end up dead.
The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office has reviewed the case and did not file felony charges, but has instead filed misdemeanor charges against Saracco. He now has a court date. Held stated that he is "pleased" with the outcome so far.
“They did a thorough investigation. They conducted themselves professionally, and I am pleased that justice will be done,” he said.
Homeland Security is already whining about the charges, calling it "gross" in a statement. They blatantly lied about the incident and claimed that Saracco was "responding to a direct threat against him and his safety."
While a misdemeanor is perhaps less than what we'd hope for, it's a great start. It proves that ICE agents are not above the law and can be charged for their crimes. It also means that we can charge them with felonies when the evidence is strong enough.
It's high time that we started bringing justice to these monsters. Prosecute the killers of Alex Pretti and prosecute the killers of Renee Good!

BREAKING: A Member of British Parliament shreds Trump as an "international gangster" and the "most corrupt president, the United States has ever seen" in an absolutely blistering viral takedown.
This one has MAGA world screeching with rage...
"President Trump is acting like an international gangster. Threatened to trample over the sovereignty of an ally. Threatening the end of NATO altogether, and now threatening to hit our country and seven European allies with outrageous damaging tariffs unless he gets his hands on Greenland," said Sir Edward Jonathan Davey, the Leader of the Liberal Democrats.
"This is an incredibly grave moment for the United Kingdom, Europe and our world," he continued. "Without provocation or justification, the President of the United States is attacking our economy, our livelihoods, and our national security. Trump has put British businesses and jobs on the front line in his unprovoked aggression."
"The only people cheering him on are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping," said Davey.
"Only a few months ago, Trump hailed the special relationship at Windsor Castle. Now, thanks to his actions, it is nearly in tatters," he went on. "So how do we stop Trump's damaging trade war? For a year now, Madam Deputy Speaker, the Prime Minister has tried a policy of appeasing Trump, flattering him, fawning over him, refusing to stand up to him because he argued otherwise Trump would hit us with damaging tariffs.
"Well, the Prime Minister has tested his approach to destruction. It has failed," he said bluntly. "It is time for the government to change course. We have to finally be clear-eyed about the sort of man Trump is and treat him accordingly. He is a bully. He thinks he can grab whatever he wants, using force if necessary."
"And he is corrupt. The most corrupt President the United States has ever seen," said Davey. "So there are only two ways of getting him to back down. Bribing him with a new jet, perhaps, or a few billionaires' crypto account. Or standing up to him like we would with any other bully. Standing together with our European allies to make him back down. That's the choice."
"Which one, Foreign Secretary?" Davey concluded.
Sir Davey is absolutely right. The United Kingdom must cease its appeasement. Trump's deranged efforts to seize Greenland as a U.S. territory are as insane as they are criminal. He has no moral code, no respect for the law, and has even admitted that this Greenland fixation stems from his anger over having been denied the Nobel Peace Prize. Having lost interest in peace, he's now threatening war with our closest allies. It's time those allies started standing up to him. The majority of Americans stand with you!
