Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

Gavin Newsom and his team are doing a good job at social media.
Using comebacks and memes to just straight up murder muffukahs.
Pay attention, Dems. This is how it’s done.

The calls for restraint oddly all focus on the people running away from the weapons
Insane scenes in Downtown Los Angeles as the cops open fire indiscriminately on people milling about. The cops shattered a business’s windows while firing on a live-streaming journalist. Keep this in mind when people talk about the protesters causing property destruction. 🎥 : AXN News on YouTube

"It was probably not the reception the president was hoping for with his debut at the cultural center he took over and now chairs — half full, half booing, and with a strong contingent of drag queens."

I still don’t understand why people can’t just come here from other countries & stay. Personally, the fraud, & waste is all the money spent adjudicating citizenship. Think of all the money we’d save & tax revenue that would generate. It’s like private health insurance companies. Like, whyyyy?

Men are pretending to be ICE to abduct women as if this wasn't the most predictable thing to come out of allowing masked goons with no ID to snatch people off the streets.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.
Just do it.

The benefit of cutting social programs was never about saving money. The “benefit” of cutting social programs is keeping “those” people in their place. Its about making sure lower status groups can’t move up the social hierarchy ladder and challenge the “real americans.”
