City mouse turned country mouse. Grandmother, civic volunteer.
Our neighbors have had their yard festooned with Trump signs and flags since 2016. They have all disappeared. Even their “don’t tread on me” flag is gone. I am trying to work up the courage to ask what changed.

Job One for the Secret Service is to know every Senator on sight. They knew who they were putting in handcuffs. We are all at risk. If they can do this to a sitting U.S. Senator in his own office building in his home state none of us are safe.

What we saw today is what we see in dictatorships.
And if they can do this to @padilla.senate.gov, imagine how vulnerable others in this country are to this kind of tyranny and abuse.
This is a moment for every American to STAND UP for freedom and for our Constitution.

Trump is defying courts and ignoring the Constitution. That's why I'm taking to the streets on No Kings Day for a nationwide day of defiance. app.sosha.ai/s/pCk3VGDs
