Kamala Harris delivers a much needed pep talk: “To everyone, let’s lock it in, lock it in, gear up for the hard work ahead and please always remember this country is ours, it doesn’t belong to whoever is in the white house, it belongs to you, it belongs to us, it belongs to we the people.”

So Def. Sec Hegseth changed the name of Ft Moore back to Ft Benning. As w/ Ft Bragg, they found another soldier with the same name to make it seem like they weren't just changing the name back to honor a Confederate.

But you should know who Ft Moore was named for. 🧵

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities.

Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America.
