The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches.
But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.

Gov. Gavin Newsom made the case in a televised address Tuesday evening that President Trump’s decisions to send military forces to immigration protests in Los Angeles have put the U.S. at the precipice of authoritarianism. https://trib.al/EpbF098

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

What is wrong with these over judgmental Baptist? Jesus would not approve!
“Southern Baptists voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to call for the overturning of the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, with strategists citing the successful effort that overturned the right to legal abortions as a possible blueprint for the new fight.”
Southern Baptists Call to Overturn Supreme Court Ruling on Same-Sex Marriage
The nation’s largest Protestant denomination was motivated by conservative Christians’ success in reversing Roe v. Wade.

If people are breaking the law they should arrested like Trump and his insurrectionist….?
Maybe that National Guard and Marine Corps can protect the people from the LAPD.
🐴 “The LAPD remains focused on its core mission: to protect lives, safeguard Constitutional rights, and serve every neighborhood in Los Angeles with integrity.” 👮🏻♂️

FACT: If enacted, the House-passed reconciliation bill will mean more Americans will die — at least 100,000 more over the course of the next decade.
Or as Republican Senator Joni Ernst says, “Well, we are all going to die.”

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH
He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested
Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

The cop intentionally shot the reporter. It must be investigated.👇
WIDER ANGLE: In this size the cop shooting Australian reporter @laurentomasi.bsky.social with rubber bullets looks even more intentional.
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians.
I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally.
