Much easier now that the posse is not legally allowed to cover faces. Some still do isn’t it a chargeable offense if they do? Why are cities and states not arresting them and prosecuting? Afraid of what will happen. This is the last place for justice for local and state laws. You have big guns also. Just sneak up and arrest them as they are doing.

THE COMMON GOOD MANIFESTO

A society built for people, not predators.

We are at our best when we invest in each other.

We are at our worst when we abandon the vulnerable.

This manifesto is how we return to the common good.

I. DIGNITY AND JUSTICE

1. Release the Epstein files — full transparency, no exceptions.

2. Impeach, convict, and imprison Donald Trump and every handler who enabled his corruption.

3. No federal office for any convicted felon.

4. End the weaponization of the justice system against the poor, immigrants, LGBTQ people, and marginalized communities.

II. DEMOCRACY THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

1. Abolish the Electoral College — one person, one vote.

2. Abolish ICE — replace it with humane immigration policy that honors human rights.

3. Ban gerrymandering with a standardized national apportionment method.

4. Two-term limits for every elected office.

5. Mandatory retirement at 70 for all elected officials.

6. Paper ballots only — end the era of hackable voting machines.

III. AN ECONOMY THAT SERVES PEOPLE

1. Restore 1950s-style progressive tax rates — when America was prosperous and fair.

2. Overturn Citizens United — corporations are not people.

3. Eliminate the Social Security payroll cap and tax capital gains for Social Security contributions.

4. $25 minimum wage indexed to inflation.

5. Medicare for All, one unified system — no A/B/C/D maze.

6. Congress receives Medicare, not boutique private insurance.

IV. WORKERS, CREATIVES, AND PUBLIC SERVANTS

1. Big pay raises for social workers, teachers, librarians, artists, and cultural workers — the people who actually hold society together.

2. Universal childcare — because families are the foundation of the nation.

3. Free public university education.

4. Full forgiveness of all student debt.

V. CLEAN GOVERNMENT

1. Root out corruption at every level, starting at the top.

2. Full financial transparency for every elected official, appointee, and senior bureaucrat.

3. Ban lobbying for former officeholders for life.

VI. THE FUTURE WE CHOOSE

We choose a country that values:

• Compassion over cruelty

• Community over greed

• Truth over propaganda

• Shared prosperity over billionaire hoarding

• Democracy over minority rule

• Human dignity over corporate profit

We choose a nation where the common good is not a slogan, but the organizing principle of public life.

And we refuse to apologize for demanding better.

Thank you for illuminating the ICE approach to murder or abduction of American citizens with no criminal record by violating court orders.

These cosplay cowboys wear masks, refuse to identify themselves, are not held accountable for their actions, and are protected by ICE refusing to respond to any inquiries about their actions unconstitutional or otherwise.

Maybe we should begin by filing contempt of court charges against Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Tom Homan, Greg Bovino et al.

They represent the brain trust of a fascist secret police force.

They should be thoroughly investigated for any and all crimes against our country and citizenry.

The only thing these thugs will ever understand is our daily action to rebel, revolt and resist their goon squad tactics with force equivalent to the force used by these cowards.

Mike Tyson once told us that “everybody has a game plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

Game on ICE.

🌟🇺🇸🇺🇦 “The Light That Outshone the Lies”

In a world full of shadows where tyrants still try,

Where bullies spread darkness and truth starts to cry,

A spark from the past flicked alive in the night—

It came from the families

who once chose to fight.

From the beaches of Europe to islands afar,

Came grandfathers brave like a blazing North Star.

They battled the fascists in World War Two,

Giving all that they had

so freedom stayed true.

Their courage now echoes in Ukraine today,

Where people stand tall in the very same way.

They push back the tyrant who barges and breaks,

Defending their future

no matter the stakes.

And here in America, truth needs us too—

For propaganda spreads fast like a virus will do.

FOX blares confusion, the right-wingers spin,

While people are struggling just trying to win:

To pay for their groceries, insurance, and heat,

With wages that buckle beneath corporate feet.

So the grandparents gathered with wisdom and grit,

“We know how to stand when the world throws a fit!”

They lifted their phones like their elders once fought,

But now with information—

the battlefield: thought.

They shared Indy media with clarity bright,

They commented boldly to spread the true light.

They reposted facts with the same steady flame

As the soldiers who fought

so the truth could remain.

They boosted the watchdogs, exposed every lie,

They challenged the fear that the spin doctors try.

From Meidas to scholars who check every claim,

They amplified truth

in democracy’s name.

And soon, like a beacon, their posts filled the feed,

A lantern of justice for all those in need.

They carried the legacy passed through the years—

A line of defenders

who conquer dark fears.

So honor these heroes of past and of now,

Who lift up the truth with a hand to the brow.

For democracy stands when the brave reunite—

From WW2 veterans

to grandfolks of light.
