The ICE That Froze Our Freedom

In a town by the tracks, on a warm Monday night,

Came the rumble of boots that delivered a fright.

Not boots full of courage, nor service, nor graceβ€”

But ICE in the shadows, invading each place.

They stormed into kitchens, they stormed into pews,

They frightened the children, they threatened the crews.

They bothered the clergy, the helpers, the kindβ€”

With cold, bitter tactics that twisted the mind.

They banged on the doors with a knock and a sneer,

They targeted neighbors who’ve lived many years.

They questioned the citizens born on this land,

As if freedom itself was too foreign to stand.

With papers or not, it was all just the sameβ€”

A cruel little circus with Trump’s name on the frame.

He cheered from the towerβ€”β€œGo harder! Go fast!”

β€œMake examples of people! Make fear ever last!”

But communities rose in a powerful wave,

From teachers and nurses to the ones who were brave.

They linked up their arms, they refused to step back,

They defended their neighbors from ICE’s attack.

They shouted the truth through the chaos and din:

β€œAmerica’s promise is for ALL to begin!”

Not for cages or cruelty, not for hatred’s designβ€”

But for families, love, and the dignity divine.

And clergy stood tall with a lantern of light,

Declaring with courage: β€œThis isn’t God’s fight.”

They sheltered the weary, they shielded the scared,

They showed what a nation of good hearts declared.

So gather, dear friends, let the message ring through:

When freedom is frozen, we warm it anew.

With truth as our banner and justice our drum,

The people will riseβ€”

and the tyrants will succumb.

SAVING THE COUNTRY FROM TRUMP

If you want to get rid of Trump then we have to get the Democrats the majority.

Make sure you vote for Democrat representatives in 2026. OTHERWISE TRUMP AND HIS CORRUPT NETWORK WILL CONTINUE THEIR DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA

FOR NOW β€”β€”-///-

Everyone has to educate their House and Senate representatives about Trump raping women and children. Everyone has to educate them that Trump is doing everything in his power to cover that up. Call, write letters and emails to your representatives.

There are a few representatives that don't know how evil/corrupt Trump and his network actually are. Almost all of the republicans know. They are just such lowlifes that they are worried about losing their jobs once everyone finds out.

THE EPSTEIN/TRUMP FILES HAVE TO BE RELEASED.

H.R. 4405, theΒ Epstein Files Transparency Act has to get the majority vote for that to happen.

Don’t let the Republican representatives convince you they voted for this. THAT’S A LIE. They voted for H.R. 668 intended to clear Trump’s name from the sealed files.

Republicans are nothing more than paid voters

THIS IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY

Thank you for this. I analyzed this through the lens of social psychology. I hope you don’t mind my sharing. https://open.substack.com/pub/openheartsleadership/p/a-dangerous-situation-why-masked?utm_source=app-post-stats-page&r=4ogqhh&utm_medium=ios
