For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items β€œpotentially divisive.”

"US Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 US troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month."

Hey so β€œunderage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."

A handful of maga Chuds have shown up on my Instagram post from today's march. Their talking point appears to be "Um, ACTUALLY, there isn't a king, so neener neener, libs!"

They really are the dumbest people to ever exist, and they LOVE their white Jesus.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICEβ€”getting pepperballed and standing their groundβ€”and thought β€œthat’s awesome. That person is a hero”

The image is taken from an angle, and you can see the ocean tilting 30 degrees in the distance, with a huge crowd in front of it. In the foreground, you can see the giant American flag that is being held up by hundreds of protesters clustered around its edges.

This is the human banner from the air. It's sign made from masses of people standing together to form letters. It reads "No Kings Yes on 50." There is an American flag in the middle and a thick border around the banner. (Prop 50 is a California state proposition to gerrymander the state to create more blue districts, in order to combat the Texas law that gerrymanders their state to create more red districts.)

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

The General Strike The General strike -the people united shall never be stopped. If we strike together we can make true real change. Sign the strike card today.

We have to strike, yet everyone keeps saying how they can't, so instead it'll get worse and the bank accounts will get slimmer and we'll all be even worse off than ever and then people will say they still can't afford to strike

We have to make our stand sometime, why not now?

Los Angeles: don’t take Trump’s bait.

Trump wants chaos and he’s instigated violence. Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrest.

Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.

ICE causing fires from their own tear gas and flash grenades, don’t get it twisted. They’re the ones causing damages to cities.

Facts:
- Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both publicly stated they did not request National Guard assistance.
- Under normal circumstances, National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

If you’re pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant, you need to read this critical piece of journalism.

Don’t allow minimizers & people like RFK Jr to β€œdebate” the risk of COVID in pregnancy.

The science on this is sound. We don’t debate facts.

Covid is a significant risk to mother and fetus
