UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.
PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

Reading Peter Ames Carlin's "The Name of this Band is R.E.M." won't make you feel better about EVERYTHING, but it'll come pretty close.

Donald Trump fired the head of TSA.
He illegally fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee mandated by Congress.
And he put a hiring freeze on FAA air traffic controllers.
The buck stops with him.

Don’t let anyone tell you this guy is popular or that the country is trending his way. Just isn’t true. Never was.
This chart shows how much of an outlier Trump is historically. Even Biden, who had the next highest disapproval when he took office, still had a plus-20 differential. news.gallup.com/poll/655955/...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It took one week to get Trump voters to go from “eggs need to be cheaper” to “let seniors starve”.

Undocumented immigrants are not criminals.
When you are in the U.S. without documentation, that’s a civil violation, not a crime.
Whereas, Donald Trump committed 34 felonies, making him a criminal.
Hope that helps.

Do one thing every day. Avoid exhaustion by being intentional.
My State Senator, Rusty Black, sent out his newsletter saying he is working to overturn the will of voters on the abortion amendment. I responded to him. It took about two minutes.

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

If a church doesn’t have a food pantry or a soup kitchen or a closet full of clothes and blankets open to the public or isn’t showing up at natural disasters to help, why does that church have a tax-exempt status?
