Today the Trump administration removed the pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument.
In ways large and small this government is bending over backward to hide the people of this country that it dislikes in our nation's story. 1/2

Off to Syracuse for the Democratic State Convention.
State Committee Members like myself are elected to represent Democratic Primary voters at events like these.
This Friday we’ll be voting whether to “designate” candidates for Gov, Lt. Gov, Attorney General and Comptroller. 🧵

Resistance is not meaningless, but it must persist.
They will replace him with someone just as bad, but the fact that they had to replace him says something about the pressure Trump is under.

Disgusting and terrifying that Trump is trying to turn public institutions into his campaign tools.
This is extremely illegal. Especially (but not limited to) demonizing the opposition party by name.
Completely un-American. Impeachable in normal world.

As I understand the Dallas ICE shooting:
* Detainees shot
* ICE agents/law enforcement NOT shot
* Bullets found that said "Anti-ICE" on them
Ted Cruz made a speech demanding people stop demonizing ICE. Again, no ICE agents were harmed.

We need to talk about ICE and our elections.
An army of gun-carrying agents the power to detain without a warrant can now be deployed at every polling location in this country.
Anyone who cares about democracy, needs to plan NOW for what enhanced voter protection looks.

In 2017, Trump dismissed Preet Bharara as Federal Prosecutor while investigating Andrew Cuomo for corruption.
The investigation stopped there.
Can Trump have the US attorney revive it? Or pressure Cuomo with scrutiny or pardons for him & already convicted allies? (1/2)
