ICE believe they're above the law. A Fed judge just ordered that they cannot deploy chemical agents at peaceful protesters. Again.
Even if all you do is go to a hardware store & get a very good dust mask & goggles, it will help. Also, it'll make you unidentifiable. Like them

Not only does Trump play a lot of golf after criticizing Obama for playing, he's played more golf in five years than Obama did in eight. He's on pace to play more than Obama did during his second term alone. And all while helping his private business make money.
Trump played 20 more rounds of golf in five years than Obama did in eight
When Obama did it, he told the press — and wasn't playing with customers at his private business.

Democrats need to have (at the very least) biweekly Press Conferences talking about everything Republicans are doing that’s illegal or just plain WRONG! We can’t rely on MSM to get our message out. They’re TERRIBLE. They only kowtow to TRUMP. We need our own MEDIA MESSAGE!

When you have people willing to risk their lives to protect their neighbors, risking their safety and hypothermia, it says a lot more about the quality of the beautiful community of Minnesotans.

People are being grabbed, sent to Texas, and put through 6+ hour long refugee status “reinterviews.” So far we aren’t aware of anyone who failed. Some even got handed a green card, then dumped onto the streets in Texas and told to find their way home.

Can Donald Trump's mad-king drive to grab Greenland be stopped?
Yes, Congress can stop it. Rep. Jimmy Gomez (@gomez.house.gov) is trying with his Greenland Sovereignty Protection Act. I talked to him about that today.

"Keep demanding, that we, members of congress, whether we are in the minority or the majority, actually represent you and do more."
Good advice! People should do that! Demand what you want. Not what you think they want.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Eight minutes matters.
A pulse matters.
Denied medical care matters.
Doctors don’t speak out like this for politics or optics. They speak out when a line is crossed, when an oath is violated, when someone who could have been helped is instead left to die.
It’s utterly vile they have to do this.
