What's the difference? Why did she have to fall all over herself to apologize back then in 2017, when this orange idiot gets to declare war on our own cities TODAY and everyone is either silent or defending him?

Yesterday, I visited the Portland ICE facility. Our communities deserve transparency, due process, and to know what’s happening beyond ICE walls. I will continue these oversight visits for every single Oregonian who demands answers.

POV: You’re doing something so despicable and cruel that you need to spend nearly a million dollars on an ICE propaganda video to convince people to snatch families off the street. Trump is spiraling and the American people are waking up. Stay loud.

Trump's ICE Spent Half a Million on Tricked-Out Trucks for a Hype Video

Texas is stealing 5 seats—more red states are lining up.

California can’t carry this fight alone. We need more blue states stepping up on redistricting. If you live in a blue state, contact your governor now

Here’s why

📌CA: Up to 5 seats possible

📌IL: 0–1 seat possible

📌NY: 1–2 seats possible

Minnesota depends on a skilled and educated workforce.

We’re investing $12 million to provide workforce training and place Minnesotans with jobs in five high growth industries: manufacturing, technology, caring professions, education, and the trades.

We’re not done!

I believe American ideals are still achievable despite the obstacles we’ve put in our own way.

I still believe in the potential for us to become the more perfect union generations have dreamed of!

I believe we’ve got a lot of work to do.

He’s headed to DC until there is meaningful change. He has had enough.

In the 50s/60s, America saw unmatched GDP growth, booming wages, and a thriving middle class—while the top marginal tax rate was 91%. If we truly want to “Make America Great Again” economically, history shows the way: invest in all, and ensure the wealthiest pay their share.

We need to explore the techniques we have to make sure the story of the LA Protests get told.
What techniques are available to you?
Where are your points of influence or leverage?

Consider both new media as well as corporate media.
Use your voice.
