History has shown the same statement of nationalism in 1934.
This nationalism encouraged people to turn on neighbors, friends
and family to be more patriotic.
Happy Father’s Day. Whether you’re in Los Angeles, NYC, Chicago, or anywhere else in the US, stay inside if you’re not white, cis and Christian. This is real.

Women and children escaping domestic abuse are the new targets?
Are we making America great to have masked men enter and
"detain" those who are already victims of violence?

ICE raids at domestic violence shelters abandon survivors of abuse and embolden their attackers.

I’ve introduced legislation to block ICE enforcement at domestic violence shelters and similarly sensitive locations. Congress must pass it now. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
LA's ICE raids are impacting domestic violence shelters
These programs "should be safe sanctuaries—and we can't even guarantee that anymore."

An 80 year old Veteran was arrested after protesting at the Supreme Court. The officers zip-tied his hands behind his back even though
he was using a walker and led him away.
Wasn't he a hero like the Jan 6th protesters????

A driverless robotaxi didn't stop during a pedestrian test, but is set
to launch in Austin on June 22nd. Safety first?
“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.”
