Broncos fan police officer willing to unite in support of this message. ✊🇺🇲✌️💪💕🌎

I regretfully cannot participate tomorrow, but will be doing equally important work - leading a city in protecting the constitutional rights of those who are (& may even be countering). Stay safe, smart, & remember the mission. Peace + strength. We are on the right side of history. #nokings ✊🇺🇲✌️💪💕🌎

sometimes it would be nice if history repeated itself #nokings

Show up in numbers so big, it's overwhelming; show up so resolute that interlopers & agitators can't disrupt; show up so peaceful that our purpose is clear; show up so organized that unity prevails; & show up so strongly that the message cannot be ignored. We will not be ruled by dictators! ✊🇺🇲✌️💪💕🌎

Lady down the street stopped by to let me know she saw my kids raising the flag this morning and it renewed her faith. I told her if watching my kids raise a flag renewed her faith, then her faith was pretty weak. She looked mad.

Rough guesses: ~ 25% know and give a crap ~ 25% don't know, don't care ~ 25% know, don't care or don't think it'll be all that bad ~ 25% know and support it

The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

There are good people in the world, and I am grateful for them.

This guy is just posted up outside of Congress and I’m honestly not sure what his political views are but I agree

You have to add up all the red bars and stack them on top of each other to pay for the green bar.

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history. The anti-Robin Hood.

Fox hosts, parroting DHS, claimed Sen. Padilla "ran at,” "lunged at," and tried to “bum-rush” Kristi Noem. Video disproves their claims, showing Padilla standing calmly across the room asking his question as security grabs him.

Yes, just imagine.

Let’s talk about yesterday. During a Department of Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles led by Secretary Kristi Noem, Senator Alex Padilla (D‑CA) was forcibly removed, forced face-down on the ground, and handcuffed by federal agents. Here’s what to know:

Lawmakers in Congress should not be buying, trading, and owning individual stocks. Period. It’s long past time to BAN Congressional stock trading.

Maybe when reality sets in that white folks are going to have to pitch in to work in the fields because of our self-inflicted labor shortage — Republicans will finally get on board with raising the national minimum wage.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I'm starting to think they may not actually care about free speech.

Raise your voices. Do it peacefully and be proactive in shutting down any mayhem internally or by interlopers. Don't give them the cudgel of chaos.

Stand up for what is right today and everyday. Life is too short to live a lie.

If you're not alarmed by what is happening, you are not a serious person.

Worth remembering.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

Speech of a lifetime from @governor.ca.gov, who truly met the moment tonight. I've been critical of Newsom in the past, but this is what we need to hear from governors and elected officials across the nation right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXQQ...

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

Shame on every individual who supports this bill.

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

I would just like to go on record as saying: the fuck

Gavin is fun. Be like Gavin.

COONS: Treasury and State were rolling out new sanctions designations every few weeks much of last year. How many new Russian entitles have you designated under your sanctions authority since January? BESSENT: I will get back to you with that number COONS: The answer is zero

Corporate media has truly failed us. Obsessed with access and focused on nothing more than their monetary perks and book deals, they'll happily slow walk us into the dismantling of the Republic if it means they still get Oval Office exclusives. Support independent media.

Remember when Colbert roasted W at the 2006 correspondents‘ dinner, quipping that “reality has a well-known liberal bias”? Twenty years later (almost), and the NPS is now required to crowdsource “information” based on personal feelings because the historical facts are deemed too unpleasant. Cool. 🗃️

You may have seen clips of this speech, but if you haven't yet, you really ought to watch the entire thing and then share it with everyone you know! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8slq...

After all the shit that Trump has done for the last 10 years, the bridge too far for Rand Paul was getting uninvited to a picnic.

It’s completely insane that the media pretends every random protester or activist in America speaks for the Democratic Party, but Trump’s agencies can directly quote white supremacist accounts on Twitter and the same media won’t link these people to Trump
