Indivisible Manhattan ❌️ 👑

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor.

I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

@indivisiblemanh.bsky.social can you get people to the courthouse?

New York has a higher per-capita income, a lower crime rate and a functional insurance system.

Here are THREE corrupt ways Donald Trump is allowing billionaires to pay to play:

1. The Trump family's new $500k members only club
2. Trump's crypto deals
3. Trump's presidential library (that's where the luxury jet is headed)

Trump's making billions while your prices go up.

Will everything be like IKEA furniture now?

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Wonder how many people Trump is negotiating foreign policy and tariffs with, that have children and other relatives going to Harvard and other Ivy League schools ?

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.

This week, Rick's Elephant in the Room is Trump's mental decline. On a strict diet of Big Macs and Adderall, Trump's last "cognition test" -- 'Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.' -- seems to be a high point for our drooling Dear Leader.

Are we great yet?

Trump is defying the courts and ignoring the Constitution while he and his friends get even richer. That means No Kings Day needs to be our biggest and most widespread day of protest yet. There are over 1,000 events planned in all 50 states on June 14. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

It's crazy that The Declaration of Independence is basically just "You created ICE so it's time to revolt."

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social: “We have a problem with young men—and it’s our fault. Half of the country used to tell young men that masculinity was toxic, and the rest of us ceded the conversation. Real masculinity is punching up. It’s protecting your family, it’s defending things.”

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
- Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.
