@altfws.altgov.info Can anyone here help? There is a threat to the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge due to renewed efforts to construct the border wall through critical areas of the refuge. This process was abandoned previously due to environmental concerns, but is back on the table.

I protested solo today for 2 hours. I made signs and went to an area with locals and visitors alike. Here are some observations: A solo protest is scary, but normalizes speaking up.

The only pushback was from a guy handing out little Jesus figures. His point was to look at it from everyone’s view. I shared what the video showed and the agent’s actions needing to be held to a higher standard. We then discussed the 2nd amendment rights of the murdered man.

Bottom line: We all must do something. It is scary. We must normalize acting against the tyranny. We must stand up for our #Constitution. #ICEout

I got lots of thumbs ups. One very nice couple offered to buy/bring me a coffee. An older couple asked why I was doing this, I told them there was a shooting in Minneapolis today. Their response? “Again?” A man with two kids stopped and we discussed the Bill of Rights. They took a picture.

Help support families in Minneapolis-St Paul who don’t feel safe going out. These are established organizations: Neighborhood House and EL BURRITO MERCADO are combining to connect culturally relevant foods with Latino families in St. Paul. You can help ensure families have food on the table.

My neighbor was taken by the cold boys and was in Bluebonnet in Texas. His wife asked me to upload these conversations she recorded from the detention center. Please share far & wide--this is completely unacceptable #ice #detentioncenter #abuse part 1 of several

Don’t be distracted. The regime keeps making its own news so we don’t revolt. Focus on issues such as: 1) Supporting Russia is bad for America. Putin is evil. It is in our best interest to aid Ukraine. 2) Tariffs lead to higher costs for consumers. The cost of groceries is noticeably higher.

My state of origin… and damn I fathom Tillis hasn’t grown a spine. Midterms must be feeling closer for him than us…

Dang - how bad was the Border Patrol invasion in North Carolina? None other than Thom Tillis himself is blasting DHS for gross overreach, and demanding lists of those detained, property damage caused by CBP agents, and their plan for restitution. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

Trump shared a post of someone pointing out the message was not to follow UNLAWFUL orders! He is so enraged and dumb— the piggy “retruthed” someone pointing out his own idiocy.

OATH OF OFFICE “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;

We’re not politically correct anymore = we are racist, misogynistic, and transphobic.

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

Trump is talking bout the German Wolfpacks in WWII. He applauds the US Military for defeating them. Then he says those soldiers (who defeated them) were descendants of the sailors in the audience. I am impressed he said “descendent” without issue. Problem is, that makes no sense. #25thAmendment

Trump: "Those were vicious, vicious wolf packs. They were brutal. They were hitting us hard & then we came up with the answer, didn't we? We came up with the way to knock them out and we were knocking them out so fast they didn't know what to do. It was really the end once we discovered the secret"

30 September 1928 | Elie Wiesel was born in Romania. A Jewish writer, Auschwitz & Buchenwald survivor, Peace Nobel Prize laureate. "Indifference is the epitome of evil." / „We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

This is one of the worst speeches I have ever seen. Rambling. Lies. Incoherent. Not relevant to the audience. Low energy. The military leaders will be leaving this feeling despair, I suspect.

Trump to generals: "The other day, $31 billion that they found. 'Sir, we found $31 billion and we're not sure from where it came.' A financial guy. I said, 'Well, what does that mean?' He said, 'We don't know where it came.' I said, 'Check the tariff shelf.'"

If the whole purpose of the second amendment is to fight tyranny… then isn’t it logical that naming tyranny with our first amendment rights should be expected? It’s simply free speech to say Trump wants to be king, is a fascist, that authoritarianism is here, and so forth. Speak truth America!🇺🇸

Fascism in action. Clearly shooting directly at the head (of a member of the press).

You can see the white powder on the back of my head from where they'd already shot at us and hit me, and then deliberately aiming at me while I was on the ground recovering. Very legal, very cool

Worth a read. Fascinating political maneuvering for something that is “irrelevant.” Even in the 90’s in Palm Beach, sex crimes against children are horrific and those who participated should be held accountable to the maximum extent possible.

As we resist tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we build courage. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18.

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

If America were functioning the way it should under the Constitution— we would be looking at impeachment with bipartisan support over a couple of these… and certainly collectively. And this is from 1 day.
