A common theme at today’s protest in Santa Monica

If/when you see police violence this weekend being used against peaceful protesters, take a beat and think about the restraint used by officers on Jan. 6. How they defended the entire US Capitol during an insurrection. And didn't irrevocably brutalize people actively attacking them. Just a thought.

For no particular reason, I thought I’d remind folks about the time Trump reposted a full-size, full-color image of a truck that was “decorated” with an unconscious Joe Biden, arms and legs bound as though he’d been kidnapped, during the campaign. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This is not a close call. The 14th Amend. Due Process Clause applies to PERSONS, not just U.S. citizens. The text = "nor shall any State deprive any PERSON of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." ⚖️👇

Although Trump halted virtually all other refugee admissions shortly after he took office, “his administration hastily put together a program to allow in white South Africans, who he claims have been the victims of racial persecution in their home country.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/w...

“A contest of sorts has played out across Europe, the United States and the Middle East in recent days as President Trump’s two older sons have pursued a blitz of family moneymaking ventures capitalizing on their father’s name and power. It is a rush to cash in…” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/u...

Prediction: when shits starts to break, and they can't blame DEI any longer, they will say it is bureaucratic sabotage to embarrass Trump, rather than the consequences of the cutbacks they are making now. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-is-t...

Today is a really good day to do something. Read the Constitution. Have a talk with a stranger about DOGE. Volunteer at a food bank. Be kind to people. Whatever you do, don’t just throw your hands up in the air & assume Trump gets away with it all. We are still a rule of law country. Insist on it.
