I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social If you get a chance, ask the president to release the video proof of the locations he thinks are a war zone. People think he's being manipulated. Evidence for his death vision to send NG or military, please!

Remember that we’re being lied to whenever anyone claims we don’t have the money to fix something.
$170 billion could help end homelessness by providing housing for every unhoused American 17 times over, instead it’s funding Stephen Miller’s nativist dreams: open.substack.com/pub/americas...
Stephen Miller Is Getting $170 Billion To Build His Own Army To Target Our Immigrant Neighbors. Here’s What That Funding Could Do Instead
This unprecedented allocation of taxpayer money could go to helping working families all across America, on everything from education, hunger, housing, healthcare, and the environment.

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq.
“If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.”
National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC.
A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Where are all the white Americans who want these jobs?
If the story Trump & MAGA are telling is true, then this job site should be buzzing with white men.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
They are in charge.
