These are con-artists. And I feel like I'm going crazy because so few people recognize them when it used to be a very common skill most people had!

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks. The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.

JUST IN: 700 Marines deployed to L.A. from 29 Palms. If Trump can override California, he can override any state. So ask yourself: who’s next? And what happens when people stop backing down? This isn’t crowd control — it’s occupation.

Gun violence shouldn't be a fact of life for our kids. Letting this uniquely American issue continue is a choice; inaction is a choice — here in IL, our choice is to save lives. We've banned the sale of assault weapons, expanded background checks, and extended red flag laws.

To be in public office right now is to constantly ask yourself: How do I make sure I'm standing on the right side of history? There's a simple answer. The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave.

The essence of fascism is government by emergencies. Dictatorship by first resort instead of a last resort. Creation of permanent crises instead of resolving them.

i've been reading several articles about russia's paper tiger military and just how flimsy the house of cards is... but I wonder, with all the corruption in the current U.S. administration, maybe all the military spending will actually be grifted away to leave our military in the same condition

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

🚨 No one from Home Depot has responded to my requests for comments about ICE raids at their stores. Is #HomeDepot cooperating or collaborating with ICE?

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

LA IS NOT A DISTRACTION. This stuff was literally in Project 2025. We MUST walk and chew gum at the same time if only because immigrant lives matter.

Look what tump has done to this country? And still he hasn't been stopped. I guess most political leaders are hiding in fear and in shame. NOT Governor Newsome, though, NOT Governor Pritzker.

CNN is now platforming far-right MAGA House members who lie to America by saying the war against the U.S. Trump just declared is all very normal and cool and has happened many times before. Can they provide legal justification and precedent? No. But they’re gleeful all the same.

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone. If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

We're walking right into it. No one appears to have any idea how to stop it. We know where it's headed. Martial law. The end of democracy. No more elections. A waking nightmare. I promise to amplify anyone offering legal, workable solutions. I haven't found any yet. And the left is leaderless.
