Peaceful protest is the bedrock of our movement.
Thousands demonstrated exactly that – coming together to demand the release of David Huerta and to call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities.

President Biden is a man of deep faith and extraordinary resilience. Chasten and I are keeping him, and the entire Biden family, in our prayers for strength and healing.
Joe Biden, you’re gonna beat this cancer. You’re a great man with a strong spirit, and you have a family that loves and supports you, not to mention tens of millions of us grateful for your steady, principled leadership.
The Atlantic released the entire Signal chat among Trump senior national security officials Wednesday, showing that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth provided the exact timing of warplane launches and when bombs would drop.
Nelson and Gladys Gonzalez had no criminal record and were long known to ICE officials. Why was the Orange County couple detained and sent to Colombia?
HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.
"It's almost impossible to believe he exists.
It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth"

"Presidents only get so much political capital. Trump has decided to invest his finite capital into supporting Putin's authoritarian regime in Moscow..."

Today in court: A judge questioned what she described as an unusual request by DOJ to have nonprofits challenging the Trump admin's funding freeze post a bond so the feds could recoup money later if the judge got reversed on appeal

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.
If you thought Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler was a disaster, wait until you hear what 47 just did. We are in the upside down, and our friends in the West are understandably stricken with horror. My write-up: https://buff.ly/4b5ULIe
The sooner we collectively realize that Elon Musk is a shitposting, conspiracy-addled fool, who needs to stay out of public policy not upend it, the safer we’ll all be.
NEW: The USDA acknowledged that over the weekend, it accidentally fired "several" agency employees who are working on the federal government's response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak.
The agency adds it is trying to quickly reverse the firings.
What the Hell is going on? People are posting about the Grammys and the stock market when Musk’s lackeys just gained control of the system that processes ALL government payments! Next come the messages about supporting Trump or losing those payments…..so what are we going to do about it?
The best metaphor is of two parents competing for the affection of a child and one does the right thing for the child's health, the other lies to the child, lets them eat like sht, doesn't make them attend school, or do anything the kid doesn't want to do.
This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)
So here is another random fear about Trump’s attacks on DEI….it’s only a small step from that to trying to get rid of services like Vocational Rehabilitation for people with disabilities. And repealing Medicaid and SSDI. Scary shit!
The fascist takeover of Amerika has begun! Take your darkest fears of what you thought might happen, and multiply them exponentially because that is what is coming and has already started. If we don’t want to be living in Nazi America, we have to start fighting back NOW!
