This is my 35th father's day without my dad. The pain of losing him is deep, it's part my dna. Still, it rises to the surface several times a year. Like today & the days leading up to it. I feel it at the Costco tv display. He would've Loved the flatscreens! I'm sorry he missed this. Love you dad ๐Ÿ’œ

If youโ€™re in LA in a public space this month and someone tries to get you to sign a petition about wages and voting DO NOT SIGN IT. this is businesses trying to repeal an ordinance that increases wages for workers in hospitality spaces ahead of the Super Bowl, World Cup, & Olympics. Do not sign!

โ€œWe should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires, but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of the public schools, and the number of people who can and do read worthwhile books.โ€ ~ W.E.B. Du Bois: A True Patriot

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

You know who didn't identify themselves? The thugs who assaulted Senator Padilla.

This video speaks for itself...

Iโ€™m no military hero. I served faithfully, and I deeply respect those who gave everythingโ€”theyโ€™re my heroes. Thatโ€™s why I reject Trumpโ€™s parade. Itโ€™s not about honoring themโ€”itโ€™s about feeding his ego. And that...makes me want to puke.

This entire thread. If you plan on protesting, marching, whatever, there's great advice in the many replies. Be smart. Be safe. Don't forget to practice situational awareness!

This right here is pure unadulterated hypocrisy. This is the GOP way. The original post is still up, but I took a screenshot just in case the puppy killer decides to delete it. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This is true.

This speech needs to be given daily. They swore an oath to defend the constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic. They need to do their jobs

I'm in pain all the time. My body & brain were broken in service to my country & the constitution. That being said, I'd still take up arms to again defend the constitution against tyranny. I even have bone spurs. But I'm not a feckless coward.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So donโ€™t say โ€œI didnโ€™t vote for this,โ€ because you did. This isnโ€™t a response. This was always their plan.

Share this far and wide. It will only get worse.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.
