My belief: I do not recognize the authority of anyone who will not identify themselves or show written probable cause.

Every day something terrible has happened that we prayed would never happen. We can’t ever, ever let this become normal.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS New York City March” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent

He didn't send the National Guard when this happened.

I think it’s time for those of us who don’t already know this to come to terms with the idea that if they don’t care who they round up then it’s not really even about illegal immigration, is it?

I made a terrible mistake the other day when this supposed feud between Trump and musk came to Light. I started using the classic narrative of it being a girl fight. We need to break away from this kind of thinking. This is not a girl fight. This is a white privileged male billionaire fight.

Honestly, I don’t trust either of these guys. They know how to affect the news. I think it’s contrived theatrics to distract everyone, especially the news media from the fact that the bill in the senate will basically make Trump king and help secure a one party government.

Just a reminder to many: politics is no longer a spectator sport. Every single one of us will be affected by what is happening in our government. Please act accordingly.

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

Don’t let this piece of theatrics fool you. Neither of them care about anything but their own wallet.

The whole 2026/28 conundrum is really quite simple. Whoever had lead us through the biggest constitutional crisis in generations gets to lead us. Period. We need to get through years to see if we can keep our democracy or go full dictatorship. Nothing else matters.

What will be the Reichstag fire?Brace yourselves for it.

I encourage everyone everyone who is not able to march today to call, email, send postcards to elected officials both inside and outside your constituency to voice either support or criticism. all of our elected officials need to feel the sheer weight of people who are enraged by what is happening.

A leader of V-Dem, a group that rates democracies across the globe, predicted that U.S. Democracy will “die by summer” at a recent journalism conference, says Maria Ressa, Nobel laureate and journalist. Perugia-Italy

So here for a pissed off Al Gore!! Whooowee!!

"The whole foundation of Christianity is based on the idea that intellectualism is the work of the Devil. Remember the apple on the tree? Okay, it was the Tree of Knowledge. You eat this apple, you're going to be as smart as God. We can't have that." Frank Zappa

Make *no* mistake, it wasn't an 'accidental' deportation, it was a test. Failing to abide by a court order sets up the precedent to ignore future court orders. This is not a drill.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
