Why is @NPR reporting that the protests are about anti-ICE? The protests in LA started because of ICE, but, people are protesting government overreach and the illegal use of military force against civilians. Let's report the full picture.

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

NEW: The ACLU has filed a sworn declaration from a Venezuelan woman who ICE sought to turn over to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, who declares that "I heard two US government officials talking and they said 'there is an order saying we can’t take off but we already have.'"

So…lock them up?

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

The United States government has been turned into a subsidiary of Elon Musk's companies.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

They won’t ever learn will they

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

MAGA lost their damn minds over the email lady's private server, but are crickets over Elon's 19-year-old "Big Balls" guy having access to all of our private info.

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and offer them to small to medium size businesses. Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations . Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ? Thoughts ?

Bad things are happening.

2 USAID officials put on leave after refusing DOGE access to classified docs: The Trump administration put two U.S. Agency for International Development security officials on administrative leave late Saturday after they refused to grant employees from Elon Musk's Department of Government…

Kaine: "Last week the president signed an emergency order regarding energy. There's an energy emergency and he just put a 10% tariffs on energy from Canada? He is increasing prices at the pump at the same time he's saying there's an energy emergency. The emergency is self-created."

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...

You guys need to see this and take it in… Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

Which executives orders that were signed are going to address the food prices because we need eggs and I'm still waiting for the price to go down. Lmk. Thanks.

Is anyone talking about the benefits to Elon and Tesla that these tariffs with CA and Mexico would bring? He's got the giga factory on hold in Mexico sure, but he's also going to stifle the big threes business and reduce his competition by allowing tariffs, so is he for them or against?

Lang was charged with assaulting police officers with a bat, among other things.

The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.

Trump pardons nearly all of the Jan. 6 defendants and convicts. Because, rule of law. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

He pardoned people who tried to overthrow our country. #shame

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily. All are insurrectionists. We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

They are taking back campaign promises faster than they made them.

The United States is so broken and damaged, it has elected a CRIMINAL as its next president. What a horrible county.

I can't help but wonder what the gallows was erected for?

On January 6, 2021 Donald Trump attempted a coup He lied about the election Ginned up a “fake electors” scheme Tried to coerce election officials into saying he won Threatened his own VP And dispatched MAGA thugs to attack the Capitol 140 Capitol Police were maimed Several died Never Forget

Is there a disproportionate amount of domestic terrorists / mass casualty events coming from Texas on a per capital level or does it just seem that way?

Philly Wonka rocked! #mummers #happynewyear2025 #philadelphia

“Four years ago, dozens of companies denounced the invasion of the U.S. Capitol and pledged to withhold support from those who disputed the 2020 election results. Now, many of those companies are lining up to fund Donald Trump’s inauguration.” www.wsj.com/business/tru...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget Even Christmas morning!

Just a reminder that the GOP relied on the testimony of a man who just plead guilty to lying about a bribery scheme between Joe and Hunter Biden . This was the main witness and story the GOP relied on in impeachment committee

"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the perception problem, NOT telling the truth. Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.
