If you are attending a #NoKings rally/march on Saturday, consider bringing an American flag!

We need to make this clear: we are Americans and we will not abide a wannabe king

MAGA doesn't own our flag

We know Yam Tits is also trying to destroying democracy.

You know what's ALSO really bad? His #BigBullshitBill, still struggling to get passed in the Senate.

Hey, #LAPD chief Jim McDonnell, I agree: 'Violence I Have Seen is Disgusting'.

These mounted police should be FIRED for trying to trample a lone civilian with their horses.

UNACCEPTABLE.
CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR.
THIS is what's happening in Los Angeles.

NOT violent protestors.

VIOLENT LAW ENFORCEMENT.
LAPD when they think no one’s looking

Nobody should be sitting home anymore.
I want to report some good news from LA:

ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

Los Angeles was the inevitable main target because we're bigger, smarter, richer, and won't take shit from Yam Tits.
If you want to understand why LA residents feel under attack, undercover DHS agents lying about their identity and authorizations to try to kidnap LA children seems a good start.

People just do not understand the attacks LA is under by Trumpists right now.

I can't stress this enough. Protest everywhere, but keep it NONVIOLENT. The deliberate, authoritarian violence of MAGA will discredit itself.
Stay calm and steady. The F47 regime is trying to portray peaceful protest as “looting and rioting.” Do not let them. Throughout history, nonviolent movements have been more successful than violent uprisings. Do not play into their hands.

And yet, on Jan 6, he didn’t deploy the National Guard after calling on insurrectionists to go up against our Capitol and law enforcement. A tad selective when he does these things. He’s out of control and MAGA, the GOP and Supreme Court are complicit.

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.

Rep. Al Green making a great point about impeachment, invoking a quote attributed to Gandhi:

First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they attack you.
Then you win.

Things may look impossible. But if we remain relentless, we will ensure that the rule of law will prevail.

Have courage.
