Las Cruces, New Mexico showing up. #nokings

Taos, New Mexico is a small southern Rocky Mountain town of about 8,000, and Taos County is maybe 40,000. At least 2000+ people showed up for the No Kings protest on a beautiful mid June Saturday.

Roswell Indivisible produced a pretty good No Kings turnout. Thank you Roswell!

No Kings Protest/Rally in Farmington, NM - a Trump +30 oilfield town…

three times the size of any protest since President’s Day. Tell me, girls…

Do. We. Look. Afraid?

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

A new analysis finds that projected growth from the GOP budget's tax cuts would only cover 2.7% of their $3.8T cost.

That's nowhere close to the cuts "paying for themselves." 

Notice how nobody ever asks, "but how will we pay for it" when it comes to trickle-down economics?

Kroger is allegedly overcharging consumers by listing expired sales prices on shelves and charging full price at checkout. 

And thanks to decades of consolidation, Kroger stores are now the only grocers in some rural areas.
 
Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

On Friday, my son stayed home from school because he had a sore throat and wasn’t feeling well. He went with my husband to his office for the morning while I handled our daughter. When he came back at lunch, he was not interested in eating, saying his throat hurt too much. 1/n

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.

But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.

It's up to us to demand something better.

Ladies, do you know about the Equal Opportunity Credit Act? Since 1974, it has let you get a credit card, or a business loan, or a bank account, without the signature of a male relative. The regime wants to kill it and has taken the first boundary-testing step to do so. 🤬

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.

Parents are asking how they can protect their family's medical records from the NIH collections.

Is there anything we can do to help keep records out of this autism study?
