BREAKING: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Zohran Mamdani calls for abolishing ICE after Trump's fascist goons murder a Mexican immigrant in Houston in cold blood.
It's time for the entire country to stand up...
“Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door,” Mamdani stated.
“New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice. Abolish ICE,” he added.
The killing of Salgado Araujo has rocked the nation, renewing widespread calls for this lawless, violent, masked paramilitary force to be dismantled for good. These thugs are undertrained and bloodthirsty. Many of them sign up hoping to find an excuse to use their firearms on innocent people of color.
ICE is insisting that the victim tried to drive his car into an agent's vehicle, but that's a reheated lie that they've used before to justify their extrajudicial executions. They said the same thing about Renée Good despite the footage showing that she was simply trying to drive off.
In Salgado Araujo's case, he was a law-biding family man who had built his business up through hard work and commitment to his community. His son Ronaldo Salgado stated that he was “close to obtaining his legal status" and had submitted photographs and statements for a work permit application.
The ICE agent who killed him was in an unmarked vehicle. Salgado Araujo presumably saw masked, armed men and assumed that they were criminals trying to rob or kill him. He tried to escape, was shot, and died at the hospital.
ICE has suspiciously not released footage of the shooting and will likely try to hide it from the public to minimize backlash. Meanwhile, the League of United Latin American Citizens is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the killer or his co-conspirators.
These shootings are not accidents. Yes, they are the unavoidable result of Trump flooding our streets with barely literate bullies with high-powered weapons. But they also serve an idealogical purpose for MAGA. The White House wants Latino communities living in constant terror. Their end goal is an America in which only white people feel safe and protected by the law.
We cannot allow that to happen. Abolish ICE.
Please ❤️ and share if you support abolishing ICE!
Marco Rubio should be thankful he lives in a country where he has the freedom to completely abandon his own life story in order to turn around and pull the ladder away from those coming up behind him.

🚨 BREAKING:
U.S. world-famous author Stephen King:
“Trump is a tumor in America’s veins. A tyrant who does not hesitate to set a country on fire for his narcissistic ego. No horror story I’ve written could be as terrifying as this man.”
More lies from a lying fuckwit fat orange hog of a President. A President who called American Marines and and other Allied forces who fought in WW1, "losers" and "suckers" on a visit to France in 2018. He said the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery was "filled with losers!" and confirmed by several former officials. And fuckwit MAGA follow this cunt!
This is U.S. Air Force Major Jason Watson. He was arrested today at the Capitol after calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump and JD Vance.
RETWEET if you are proud to stand with Major Watson!
I’ll save you some time on Donald Trump’s Fourth of July speech:
• We can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
• Did you know “dumb” is spelled with a B?
• I’ve aced four cognitive tests.
• The ballroom.
• Joe Biden.
• I know more about anything than anyone.
• The fake news.
• Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
• Weird moaning fake barbell curls.
• We are hottest country in the world.
• People are walking around with no arms and no legs.
• Tariffs.
• Communists
• Affordability is a democrat hoax.
• Sir… stories that never happened.
• Crowd sizes.
• Algae in the Reflecting Pool.
• Nobody’s ever seen anything like it.
Am I missing anything?
Tomorrow the USA comes together to celebrate (and pay) these courageous American Patriots who refused to respect our constitution, and our peaceful transfer of power, in a violent attempt to help Trump steal the election by blocking the certification of 2020 Biden's win, even if it meant hanging VP Pence.
How are you celebrating these patriots on July 4?
@Mitchekid@TheDemCoalition Hold Trump responsible for his war crimes against the people and all of his pretend enemies … Obama he’s done nothing to Trump compared to what Trump is doing to the American people. Impeach Trump
We're so tired.
We're tired of people pretending he's not an idiot.
We're tired of his lies.
We're tired of his sickening amorality.
We're tired of his face, his voice, his smirk. We're tired of his inability to say even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever.
So tired.
But we also know we can't stop.
We know it's up to all of us to limit the damage he can do in the next 2+ years and save our country and our Democracy.

BREAKING: LOL! Hunter Biden hilariously trolls Trump with a fake Nobel Peace Prize nomination — and his reasons have MAGA screeching with rage.
This is an absolute bullseye...
"I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize," Hunter wrote on X. "No President in History has ended the same war so many times. Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
"No President has ever done this before," he added. "And he is nowhere near finished ending it. It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
The joke, of course, is that Trump has repeatedly promised that a lasting peace with Iran is within reach, only for the negotiations to once again break down and the bombing to resume. There's also the added absurdity of nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for ending a pointless war of aggression that he launched on Israel's behalf.
You don't get credit for solving a problem that you yourself created!
The simple truth is that Donald Trump is the most warmongering President in modern American history. He slaughtered countless innocent men, women, and children overseas and accomplished nothing in the process. Awarding him a Nobel Peace Prize would delegitimize the prize for all time.
Republicans on social media are predictably incensed over Hunter's joke, with many MAGA accounts responding to his post with personal insults as well as attacks on his father.
That's how you know he hit the mark.
Trump's obsession with the prize is well documented. He aggressively lobbied for one in vain and hates that Barack Obama won the prize. For a racist like Trump, the idea that a Black man could exceed him in so many tangible ways is unthinkable. He deserves to be trolled relentlessly!
Please ❤️ and share if you're a fan of Hunter!
People are traveling, gathering together, barbecuing, celebrating the 250th anniversary of this nation in various ways. And then we have this…
An American service member using his right to free speech, guaranteed in our nation’s constitution. A right given to all of us every day. Regardless of your political affiliation, read or watch Major Jason Watson’s full statement. It’s powerful. He has served and is serving. He is speaking up and out, and for that he was arrested.
Free speech, freedom of religion, a free press, the freedom to vote for who you choose, the freedom to love who you choose. These are all things we celebrate on our nation’s birthday. They are what makes us a democracy, among many other things. So as you gather, as you grill, as you plan your day, think of Major Watson, think of the freedoms you hold dear, and don’t just celebrate them, but make sure generations to come will have these rights as well! 🇺🇸
Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that it is AWESOME that more people showed up to Obama's Presidential Library than to trump's failed, abysmal fair.
I'm fine if Obama's party is officially our 250th.
#BREAKING: Psaki: “Do you remember last year when Trump announced his massive across the board tariffs…He called it liberation day, it actually led to a stock market crash. That liberation day announcement was made on April 2nd of last year, and Trump’s financial disclosures show that he made 327 stock purchases six days later, on April 8th, while the market was down…So he makes those purchases on April 8th. The next morning, just after the market opened, he told his followers on Truth social: ‘THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY.’ Hours later, he paused his tariffs and the stock market had a historic rally, so historic in fact, it represented the biggest single day gain in the history of the Bloomberg billionaires index. To put it simply, it appears an official act by Trump cratered the stock market. Trump then bought the dip and then used another official act to bring the price of the market back up. Trump of course insists that all his stock transactions are handled by his two adult sons [@EricTrump & @DonaldJTrumpJr] without his involvement or knowledge of the individual trades carried out on his behalf. When asked about the timing of these specific trades, the White House told us tonight that President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public, saying there was no conflict of interest. The White House also directed us to the Trump Organization. We’ve reached out to them, but we haven’t heard [anything] back.”🤦♀️
