I believe in the saying, "We all do better when we all do better."
NOTHING ELSE WILL SUFFICE.
May the forces of Democracy beat the forces of fascism. Who wants the greedy, grifting, billionaires to be the ones surviving underground in a climate too hot for anything to survive on the surface? 👇

What? I was thinking about this last night. How sad it would be to see all the flags at half staff.
They didn't? C'mon!
They didn't? C'mon!
A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff.
But when a hate-peddling podcaster was killed, the flags were lowered to half-staff within hours—and stayed that way for days.
WTH?

📣 Caveat: This is not an endorsement of Sen. McMorrow; I'm a big fan of both her as well as Rep. Stevens.

We need to rebuild trust in our politics. And the people you serve shouldn’t wonder who you really work for.

Abolish ICE.
Call your representatives, and ask if they agree that they must be destroyed. Let them know you’ll volunteer, donate to, and vote for their primary opponents if they refuse to help dismantle and prosecute Trump’s SS.

600 ICE agents were supposed to be deployed to Canal Street. Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered instead.

NY NEVER PLAYS.. 🥳🥳
Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.
New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.
