They tear-gassed a woman peacefully waving an American flag.

Let that sink in.

This isn’t freedom. It’s intimidation, and it’s happening right here in America.

We must stand up and stop this, but not at night. That’s when the violence escalates and militarized police act with impunity.
Appropriately dark representation of what’s happening to our nation.
TW: police ultimately fire tear gas grenades at the woman waving the American Flag.

This is happening in and around LA. God save us all. 🇺🇸

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Trump is holding a massive military parade on his birthday next Saturday.

It had NEVER been more essential for Americans to SHOW UP and PEACEFULLY protest the wannabe dictator.

Show up for No Kings Day on 6/14.

PASS IT ON!
No Kings

ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection.

They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.
