When Border Patrol showed up across Charlotte, parents and neighbors rushed to Berryhill to meet kids at the bus stop. They stood watch, linked arms, and made one thing clear: if the city gets targeted, its children will not face it alone.
This is what community looks like.💙

On a Monday night when most cities go quiet, Charlotte packed a church wall to wall for Siembra’s resistance training. As Jacob Soboroff noted, people don’t usually show up like this — but Charlotte did. When federal agents came, the community came louder🔥🔥🔥

Hours after Border Patrol swept through Charlotte, protesters filled uptown with courage, not fear. They marched peacefully, stood united, and refused to be intimidated.
Charlotte showed up.
And it showed strength.💪

H.S. students at Phillip O. Berry Academy walked out in protest, carrying signs like “No one is illegal on stolen land” & “I’ll take my horchata warm cause ICE sucks.” While masked agents stormed Charlotte & arrested 200, these kids showed more courage than the entire operation.

People are starting to ask why Susan Collins thought a $500,000 payout to Republican senators was a good call when families are struggling.
Maine needed help, she delivered a payout to her friends instead.

Dirty, despicable, disgusting, deranged Donald.
‘Dirty Donald’
It’s Thursday. There are 355 days until the midterm elections. Republicans are ready to finish off Obamacare, Trump’s cover-up (no, a different one) and the right is really, really gross.

Not only did key allies of the regime lose top races in New Jersey and Virginia, Americans rebuked his party in “local races – school board, city council, mayor, county – across the country,” as @simonwdc.bsky.social wrote. “Simply, Trump has been a terrible, terrible leader and people are pissed.”
new from @tusk81.bsky.social:
For months now, polling has been clear: "Americans have only been growing more and more outraged at Donald Trump’s disastrous agenda, including on immigration."
And last week’s elections drove that message home.

At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will
- end the Trump Presidency
- implicate many other prominent Republicans
- destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders
This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.

Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.
It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇

Growing list of reasons Trump should step down:
- Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring
- Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment
- Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power
- Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy

As more and more files come out, Ghislaine Maxwell has less and less leverage for a pardon or commutation. Things are really going to start heating up.
