Okay. Start with the ones abducting and trafficking people, and denying their rights to freedom of speech and due process.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

This is how you tell the truth:

“You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history. You took an oath to the constitution, not the fascist in the White House."

How y'all angry now...

That man let 800,000+ people die of Covid complications.

Like that wasn't enough to keep y'all from reelecting him in 2024?!!!

Scripture read at my church today

Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,
2 to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless.

Next verses good too

Pointing to protesters, but not ICE agents, Trump demands arrests of those in masks The president wants protesters in masks to be taken into custody, but immigration enforcement agents in masks are apparently fine.

The show of unnecessary force in #LA conveniently distracts 🇺🇸 from the scariest headliner:

The regime's trying to pass an unpopular bill that will negatively "transform our economy & ruin a lot of lives!"

Our to-do 🗒️:
1. KEEP peacefully protesting
2. KEEP 📞 our Senators

Trump just said Homan should arrest Gov. Gavin Newsom for opposing the federal militarization of L.A.

This isn’t tough talk—it’s authoritarianism in plain sight.

Arresting elected officials for defying a dictator’s will is how democracy dies.

We must all stand up peacefully & firmly.

Everyone Who Was Supposed to Protect You From This Failed Miserably Donald Trump will now be the president again. A colossal failure by every Republican, Democratic, legal, corporate, and media institution got us here.

The felon isn't that smart.
We know the architects who let's him sign his pitiful racist EO's are Leonard Leo, Russel Vought, Heritage Foundation, Conservative SCOTUS, Miller & other racists

WE are the ones who will save us!

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

The Trump administration falsely claims the protesters in Los Angeles are violent people but if you are on the ground in Los Angeles, you will see people from every walk of life.

They are protesting the treatment of people being illegally detained by ICE.

Let this sink in.

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.

During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

George III’s power was limited by a constitution, established laws and conventions and in actuality, Parliament held significant power, controlling the budget & having the right to pass laws, which the King could not unilaterally override.

So… congratulations, America. You’ve out-kinged yourself!

House Republicans Found a New Way to Go After Abortion Access in Blue States A provision in the House reconciliation bill would give them a pathway to restrict access to abortion in states that legally protect it.

What else was snuck into the GOP's Big, Ugly Budget?

A provision barring health plans on the ACA marketplace from providing abortion coverage.

Let's call it what it is: a back door to a national abortion ban.

It won’t matter if you’re in a red or blue state.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity.

As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous.

As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime.

As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.
