Republicans are scared AF about #NoKings Day -- calling it a "Hate America Rally" a bunch of "radical left terrorists" lol

So, let's be sure we show the communities we gather in that WE LOVE AMERICA and that's why we are taking it to the streets

NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.

As cowards at CBS and Columbia capitulate to Trump, this is the critical moment to build the opposition we need to fight back. It’s vital that we recruit, train and mobilize a critical mass of people now before Trump’s authoritarian regime fully consolidates power: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
