I know it's hard, but do not turn away from this regime's cruelty and violence. Remember it. Document it. Defend against it when you can. Let it influence your voting. And know that this will be needed in defying them now and holding them accountable as soon as we can.

β€œMy advice to you β€” my request of you β€” is to hold on to your memories dearly. Write them down. Share them widely. Stand firm in our truths. If we stay silent, our past will be altered right before our eyes.” Marc Elias

It’s just stunning how much this administration despises the American people.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: β€œTHIS.” followed by several clapping emojis. The image text reads: β€œLet’s give teachers $50k signing bonuses, $100k salaries, and $60k student loan forgiveness. You know, the same as ICE gets.”

It’s very French Revolution to build a golden ballroom while children starve and people can’t afford health insurance.

Refusing to be numb is a radical act.

Caring about the earth while they drill it.

Caring about strangers while they deport them.

Caring about truth while they erase it.

You’re not β€˜too sensitive.’ Don’t let them make you be ashamed of your empathy and humanity. You’re still human. Stay that way.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

ICE detain multiple U.S. citizens in Chicagoβ€”including Chief of Staff for 22nd Ward Alderman.

2 agents slam the woman down onto ground, kneel on her back, and zip tie herβ€”despite witnesses all agreeing she made no threat.

"I'm not resisting," she screams in Chicago, Illinois.

This is how the liars should be handled. We have journalists as good as this in the UK, but instead we are subjected to client journalists like Mason, Robinson and Kuenssberg.

The cunts should be in the dock, freedom of speech shouldn’t extend to lying to the electorate. Democratic backsliders.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean.

6 people dead this time.

Not a single arrest made.

Not an ounce recovered.

Not a shred of evidence provided.

A FEDERAL JUDGE IN CHICAGO RULED that starting this week, ICE agents can now face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests, marking a dramatic shift in immigration enforcement oversight in the city.οΏΌ

Hoodline: "San Francisco Crime Rates Plummet Amid Joint Law Enforcement Efforts"

πŸ“‰ San Francisco is on track for the fewest number of homicides and street encampments in decades
πŸ“‰ Crime rates are down across California
βœ… State and local partners are using increased funds to hold drug traffickers accountable

We're getting the job done on public safety.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The White House isn't just a residence of the President. It is an historical monument owned by the People of the USA. How dare any President tear parts of it down and remake it for his personal use!

Donald Trump and corrupt Republicans recklessly shut down the federal government.

And the American people know it.

Cancel the cuts. Lower the cost. Save Healthcare.
