Do you feel overwhelmed? Tired? Exhausted with the constant news cycle?

I want you to know: that's their goal.

They want you checked out. They want you burnt out. I get it. I feel it.

Take a break, but don't give up. When you give up, they win.

When Walz had a misstep in wording and said something about knowing a lot of school shooters (meaning, victims of school shootings) they quoted that repeatedly. We won't forgive slips of the tongue either. Or, he could've meant it exactly as he said it.

He'll shed off some more support because his base is only ok with him pardoning WHITE r*pists. πŸ™„

My friends and I have discussed this many times. Give the Trumpers Texas and some of the other nearby red states (Arkansas, AL, Miss, OK, etc) and give us "coastal elites" all the east and west coast. They can have FL too.

If they're guilty shouldn't they be destroyed? Why would he want to protect them?

I have a feeling we're about to have another round of "I didn't think the leopards would eat MY face..."

Wouldn't an orange apron be a more appropriate cammo pattern for Home Depot? I'm thinking the one they're using doesn't really blend into their surroundings.πŸ™„

They do! I was driving around my local wildlife refuge yesterday, and saw the great egrets and the cattle egrets breathing with their beaks open and their little waddles going. It's called gular fluttering!

Dr. Oz is Muslim and I didn’t hear anyone say a peep about that.

I’ve also read capacity will be 5,000, so $90,000 per inmate. $7500 a month. Assisted living costs less than that.

'Alligator Alcatraz': Florida building migrant detention centre in Everglades The facility could be completed within months and have the capacity to hold around 1,000 people.

Operating budget: $450,000,000 a year
Capacity: 1,000
Cost per person: $450,000 annually
I thought the goal was to stop spending tax dollars on undocumented immigrants? But I guess spending $450K on them is much better than allowing them to earn a living, support their family, etc etc.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

My first/immediate thought was "those guys are cosplaying law enforcement." I would defend myself if I saw that roll up on me.

He's from an old South Carolina family and those folks think they're royalty. Racism and elitism is in their DNA. Probably has a land grant from the king framed and hanging on a wall somewhere.

If they're not under arrest why did they have to put their hands behind their backs? And why did they comply?

Everything that's going on from the ICE raids, deployment of the National Guard, and the reality that millions will lose their healthcare and more is an attempt by the felon to bait us into taking to the streets.

He wants to implement the Insurrection Act to remain in office.

Protest peacefully.

In South Park, San Diego, US citizens stigmergically rose up against Trump’s Gestapo. The revolt erupted midday when ICE began rounding up people at a restaurant; patrons and passersby alike dropped everything to confront the regime storm troopers. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE

@cnn.com sucks. I'll finally admit it. Jon Stewart says it best, when talking about Tapper's new book, "The news is selling you a book about news they should have told you a year ago for free." And they're so focused on Biden as Trump is burning America down.

Disgusted but that seems to be a permanent state for me these days. Replacing a person with a PhD in Library Science, and 52 years of experience in libraries, with a hush money lawyer. #darkesttimeline #libraryofcongress #library
