A 23 year old electrician from Brentwood speaks out out after a disturbing encounter with federal immigration agents handcuffed him, leaving him shaken, despite being a United States citizen. This is racial profiling , harassment, and it’s unacceptable!

This is so amazing to witness. Unbelievable numbers. Great job. Look at the countries at the end. #USDemocracy

Indivisible fam, please give to support the family of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, the peaceful protester tragically killed at the No Kings march in Salt Lake City. We are holding his family in our hearts. www.gofundme.com/f/help-laura...

Of course he does...

Singer Nezza was told to sing the national anthem in English at the Dodgers game - she sang it in Spanish anyway. The crowd cheered as she finished “The Star-Spangled Banner” en español 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇴 The Spanish version was commissioned by the US govt in 1945 to foster better relations with Latin America.

This young man is amazing. Listen to him. #USDemocracy

Can we just make sure there are also state charges so Trump can’t pardon him?

The official X/Twitter account of the Montana Young Republicans (which in its bio claims to be "chartered by" the National Young Republicans) posting what a photo of what appears to be Rhodesian soldiers.

Like at the optometrist's office: Is this better...or this? #NoKingsDay #NoKings apple.news/AQwt1xGtUSvK...

Los Angeles law enforcement at DTLA #NoKings march was chaotic, to say the least. Having the feds toss in NG, and the LASD showing up without coordinating with LAPD resulted in this recorded scanner conversation:

Via ABC News's Rachel Scott, let's never forget for a minute what a classless scumbag the President is. x.com/rachelvscott...

It wasn’t a “madman”. It was a radicalized Republican political assassin and terrorist.

Not a drag queen... Not an immigrant... Not LGBTQ+

See how different the police are in Switzerland? They clear the streets for the protesters and keep them safe. This is the way every government should treat peaceful protesters.

There is a heart on the wall for every person who died of covid in this country, whether or not it has writing on it. We will never forget them. ❤️ #Monday

CCR’s “Fortunate Son” is a classic protest song: Some folks are born made to wave the flag Hoo, they're red, white and blue And when the band plays "Hail to the chief" Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no senator's son, son It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no

Not. A. Drag. Queen. Nor transgender --- This pedophile is a Trump spiritual advisor who has "laid hands" on & prayed with the president; helped TX Gov Greg Abbott pass a so-called "bathroom bill" to "protect the safety of women and children" 🤦🏻‍♂️ www.fox4news.com/news/civil-s...

“Friends and former colleagues interviewed by AP described Boelter as a devout Christian who attended an evangelical church and went to campaign rallies for President Donald Trump” apnews.com/article/minn...

WITHOUT VIOLENCE, TRUMP IS NOTHING. The Minnesota MAGA Murders, Trump playing with his toy tanks, and the assault on Sen. Padilla prove it anew OTOH Trump just TACO'd the mass deportations because Rotting Harvests GET THE NEW MONDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST: tinyurl.com/58av9yec

Illinois is PURE AWESOMENESS! 😎✨

I stand with Melissa🤚🏻 If you stand with Melissa Hortman, raise your hand. Your solidarity means a lot to Melissa's family. Please.

In the linked essay, I mention Nancy Mace's standard TERF question, asked most recently to Tim Walz: "What is a woman?" My answer is simple. A woman is not a *what.* A woman is a *who.* I want to expand a bit from the essay on what I think this matters. www.the-reframe.com/shows-of-wea...

Damn, y'all. Russia just dunked on Scump's parade. I'm an Army veteran; but this makes us look weak as fuck. I mean, look at our troops. Their body language is very telling. They didn't want to be there. *sound up* #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

You don't say. I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. GOP tax bill could hurt the poorest households more than it helps them www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It’s time I invested in a pair of news-canceling headphones.

Facts matter.

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

Footage of the Minnesota assassin Vance Luther Boelter, a life long registered republican and "Christian" nationalist incel that hated women. He's 100% MAGA.

Jesus fucking literally Christ...

Remember. Your life has gotten worse and more expensive over the last two decades because the Tories and Blue Labour think doing what Nigel Farage wants is more important.
