We don't have secret police in America. At least we're not supposed to.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Authorities have arrested two men in Washington state, who had an arsenal that included dozens of guns, explosives, and body armor. They nearly killed a soldier with a hammer while stealing gear from Joint Base Lewis-McChord. If these were immigrants it'd be front page news. However... 1/2

Protesters DONT TAKE THE BAIT That's what Trump wants you to do Beware of Trump Agitators and DONT TAKE THE BAIT @repmaxinewaters.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov @mayor.lacity.gov www.youtube.com/live/PlUQzQX...

Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

Yeah, but our weak and pathetic mainstream media won’t do that.

Yesterday several members of Congress from California attempted to inspect ICE facilities, which is part of their job, and Congresswoman Norma Torres reports that ICE deployed chemical weapons against she and other congressional representatives

Be careful and🖕ICE

Like and repost this so anyone who sees it can get a guide on how to dress during a protest.

Nothing quite like finding out that yet another person in your life only thinks of you as a useful tool in their mouse-ka-tool kit and not an actual friend to sending you back sliding into a depressive episode

#FACTS

The fundamental flaw of broken authoritarian narcissists (the core of the right-wing coalition) is that they view empathy as a finite resource, such that, if you extend it to one group, you can't extend it to another. They see all of life through a lens of scarcity, competition, & selfishness.

A thing about growing up poor, or even middle class in America, is that there comes a time when you look back on bad memories or traumatic experiences you saw and realize how many of them had something to do with a lack of money
