Trump Sends Barron to Podiatrist

A meme featuring a pickup truck on a rural road with a white flag attached, conveying a humorous take on the phrase "BE PROUD OF YOUR HERITAGE, FLY THE REAL CONFEDERATE FLAG!" The white flag, a symbol of surrender, contrasts with the message, adding a satirical twist. The scene is set against a backdrop of green fields, and the image is credited to @projectliberal. No identifiable individuals are present in the image.

FYI

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

House Republicans voted to kick 16 MILLION people off their healthcare.

Today, Senate Republicans proposed BIGGER CUTS to Medicaid, just to fund bigger tax cuts for giant corporations.

Call your senator.

Most state legislators are part-time and work another 9-5 in addition to their public service.

These are not careers, they are ways to give back to community.

Reach out to your local elected and share some love, many of us are rattled by the Minnesota murders and shootings.

I have friends everywhere.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

REPUBLICANS & SKEPTICS: What did the No Kings protests accomplish?

ANSWER: The anti-Trump movement is being noticed. Politicians are paying attention and will feel safer speaking out. The White House sees that Trump overreached.

Watch this stitch…

Happy Father’s Day. Whether you’re in Los Angeles, NYC, Chicago, or anywhere else in the US, stay inside if you’re not white, cis and Christian. This is real.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade
