Damn right.
ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.
The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.
Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:
Take a night off.
Go to the movies.
Watch “Nuremberg”.
Your time is coming.

Yes indeed—this, please!!
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

It’s breathtaking incompetence, for sure—but it’s also something worse: malevolence.

HUGE turnout in Oakland, CA, today for NO KINGS! Organizers reportedly said last night they were expecting 20,000 people, and I think we hit that mark! Here’s a video showing the crowd at Lake Merritt Amphitheater as more marchers arrived. #NoKings #NoKingsOakland #nokingsinamerica

What Angry Staffer said!!
If you’re planning to protest tomorrow:
1. Thank you! Make it big. Stay peaceful.
2. Be careful. There will be people trying to agitate and stir shit up.
3. Take a buddy if you can. If not, video is your friend.
4. Have a plan to get the fuck out if it goes sideways.

Only attend No Kings if y'all believe in one or more of the following:
Equality, democracy, freedom of speech, the Constitution, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, women's rights, due process, diversity, museums, books, objective truth, stopping measles and not going to war with Portland and whatnot.

Not to put too fine a point on it…
Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

Word.
It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

This.
The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.
