Yeah, you really want to read this thread.

Because the Trump DO(In)J is more worried about "exploding" sandwiches than out of control baby Brownshirts attacking priests, crashing cars, shooting US citizens, and kidnapping our neighbors.

DHS Gives Local Cops a Facial Recognition App To Find Immigrants The app, called Mobile Identify and available on the Google Play Store, is specifically for local and regional law enforcement agencies working with ICE on immigration enforcement.

We've found DHS is giving local cops a new facial recognition app to find immigrants. Point camera at face, tells the cop to detain person or not. The app is available on Google's Play Store. Google took down apps that report ICE sightings but now hosts this app

Our very serious Federal Department of Justice doing the very serious work of bringing to justice those who would wreak havoc on our streets with bread, meat, and cheese (uh, plus onions and mustard). ๐Ÿงต

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, โ€œSwear her in.โ€ They wouldnโ€™t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system youโ€™re protecting really is.

Mark Thompsonโ€™s D.C. Drop-In CNNโ€™s chief has Washington talking about his private meeting at the White Houseโ€”following which he urged the network to ease up on coverage of Trumpโ€™s East Room demolition, Status has learned.

Scoop: During a trip to DC last week, CNN CEO Mark Thompson made a visit to the White House, where he promoted the networkโ€™s new streamer

Staffers were taken aback the next morning when Thompson urged them to ease up on East Wing renovation coverage

It's a fantasy. The military will not do this unless and until their entire culture is completely overturned. Their adherence to constitutional order, their deepest beliefs in themselves and their role, and their carefully trained members all ensure that they would never, ever do these things.

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.

Our American flags are upside down in distress and mourning for the thoughtless destruction of the East Wing by a mad tyrant.

Flyer for a panel discussion "Reparations: A Transatlantic Conversation, A Panel on reparationsโ€”from Britains legacy of slavery to the U.S.'s struggle over racial justice, and Germany's post-holocaust experience."

At St. Alban's Episcopal Church, 580 Hilgard Ave, LA 90025. The event is free.

For LA folks, particularly if you're anywhere near UCLA and have time midday on Friday:

Bringing together leading voices from both sides of the Atlantic, this conversation examines the moral, political, and cultural dimensions of reparations and asks what meaningful repair can look like today.

This is the same man who inherited a $10B real estate empire and mismanaged it to the tune of 90% of his inheritance.

All Trump knows how to do is to tear down. We need to evict him and show what We The People can build.

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.
