James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated before the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

Hey, here’s an idea: Let’s stop experimenting on black women’s bodies. Let’s stop experimenting on bodies that do not consent and cannot consent. The pronatalism movement is inherently an anti-bodily autonomy movement. We should be screaming in the streets for justice for Adriana Smith.

I'm shocked we had so many people show up yesterday in Richmond despite 70% humidity, 96° heat and severe thunderstorms in the forecast. I left my phone at home so I didn't get any photos but 10k ppl shouting Fuck Trump Fuck ICE is a top ten lifer achievement for me

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.
