Gorgeous, joyous GOOD TROUBLE!

Big public protests are great, but a lot of ppl don't watch the news. Ya know how to build resistance momentum in your home community? Pop-up events. Road-side signs that say, 'HONK IF YOU LOVE OUR CONSTITUTION'. Neighborhood groups that meet regularly to talk, build community, and strategize.

Republicans passed a package that guts $9.4 BILLION in critical funding. They’re coming for global health, humanitarian aid, national security—& even PBS & NPR. Let me be real clear: What they’re cutting saves lives, keeps the world stable, and tells the truth.

Yesterday I met an immigrant from Slovakia. Because of That Man's 'naughty' decisions, she was forced to send her 16 y.o. son, who had lived here for 3 years, back to Slovakia to live with his grandparents. He was on track for a full-ride scholarship for college here. They followed all the rules.

#MorningVibe Oh, @deliciousalex.bsky.social, how I adore you! #ArtIsResistance

The more we know. #NoKîngsDay

@realtexaspaul.com I am trying to get a read on what June 14 is likely to look like in TX, esp Austin. Nat'l Guard deployment? Incitement by ppl in uniform and/or Antifa and/or hired provocateurs? Unpleasantness outside the Pickle ICE center? What do you anticipate?

Los Angeles population is roughly 4M+ people. It’s a massive city, folks. The combined 4700 National Guard and Marines have been sent to about a 3-block area to aggressively eat lunch and watch peaceful protestors sing and dance. 👇🏽 💃🏽🎶🕺🏼 So now you know. Keep lifting the veil, LA fam!

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon says deploying Marines and National Guard to protests in Los Angeles will cost $134 million.

ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE. And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.

Protect the peaceful protest! Stay safe!
