This here is a pretty damn good alt rock/Green Day-style tune celebrating #nokings.

This administration is turning civil rights laws on their heads. The time for Good Trouble is NOW. Join us TONIGHT at 7 PM ET, for a brief info sesh on how to lead or support a local action for John Lewis β€œGood Trouble” Day. #GoodTroubleLivesOn social.demcast.com/s/AgMO6BNb

In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.

Over 200 people turned up this morning - that's 10 per cent of our village's population!

This is the ICE agent that tackled California Senator (my Senator!) Alex Padilla. Let’s make him famous. #resist

Dear Elected Republicans, Be afraid. We, The People, are very, very pissed. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

This happens every single time. Straight out of the authoritarian playbook and used in the US for decades. The right will deliberately create violence at these protests to make the left look bad and turn the country against protesters. IDK the solution, but don't play into this.

HOLY HELL! The protesters just took over a government building by kicking, punching and stabbing cops ... they just killed one! 😱 CALL IN THE NATIONAL GUARD! Oh wait, sorry, that was January 6. Please like, share, and follow.

I have used the jail booking database in my reporting FOR YEARS to see info about ICE detainees who pass through county jails. That's likely a big reason why this is happening. This is a MAJOR STEP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION ON GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY IN FLORIDA. We are officially pushing back on this.

Just watched Anthony Bourdain's 'Parts Unknown', Season 4, Episode 6 which takes place in Iran, available on HBO Max. There is so much negativity in media about Iran, but this experience Bourdain has is important to digest for us in The west. Check it out!

Here's another video that needs to go viral.

This is it. It always starts in California because we are one of the most progressive state, if not the most progressive. We will win this war. Look at those assholes in war gear against unarmed citizens. Disgusting pricks. Fascist degenerates. To think that we pay them!😑 bbc.com/news/videos/...
