Was never ashamed to be an American until Trump elected in 2016. Now I'm just pissed at stupidity of voters.

What if, and hear me out, the admin doesn't know how to do that. 🤣

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

Are you OK with a real life Handmaid’s Tale in 2025? Cuz Trump just sent 1000 fully armed National Guardsmen into LA to attack protesters — claiming they are rioters. Fuck this!!!! Join us to defend our democracy before it’s too late!!!!!

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

🙋‍♂️and I would do it all over again.

We stand by our protesters in LA

June 14, 2025: Washington, DC.

The "weave" has been rechristened:

Other than not being able to go to school, work, malls, restaurants, concerts, movie theaters, places of worship, airports, hospitals, nightclubs, or government buildings, assault weapons keep us safe #gunviolence #endgunviolence #guncontrol #assaultweapons #UniteBlue #Resist #BlueCrew #Resistance

This damn narcissistic parade…

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

What country is this?

I think nuance and respectful disagreement can be found on a lot of issues, but ICE isn't one of them. Fuck ICE. I'm rooting for their abject failure and personal misery. May the people of Los Angeles send these discount gestapo hacks packing.

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

Ahem.

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

Join the Resistance: No Kings! June 14th

NOPE He has no authority to call them in AND they can’t obey illegal orders!!

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Fact......
