A regular reminder that cops have been doing exactly this to Black Americans for far longer than our cellphone culture has been reporting it.
If we want the nation in which we live to be different, we must organize, rise up, and make it so.

One thing under covered about the Cities Church protest is that one of the founders of the church is Joe Rigney - now Doug Wilson's righthand man. So, the pastor of the church is ICE; & the founder is one of Hegseth's clergy in DC.

Today we remember Michelle Go, whose life was tragically taken in an unprovoked subway attack 4 years ago.
Her memory compels us to fix our broken mental health infrastructure & support those in crisis who too often go untreated. My bipartisan Michelle Go Act serves to honor her & close those gaps.

Guys, with understanding that everyone is angry right now, I am honestly going to start blocking people who say things like, "Who cares? The law doesn't matter anymore," or "They can do whatever they want, they can't be stopped" etc. I mean, if you really feel that way, you're a part of the problem.
