I believe in the saying, "We all do better when we all do better."

NOTHING ELSE WILL SUFFICE.

May the forces of Democracy beat the forces of fascism. Who wants the greedy, grifting, billionaires to be the ones surviving underground in a climate too hot for anything to survive on the surface? 👇
A field of sunflowers in brilliant gold, brown and green surrounds the following quote: "We don't always get the future that we want, but surviving to get a future and a chance to do good for others is more than many are given. - Grandma Korbian" - by Lindsay Buroker, "Scions of Change" ("The Curse and Crown Series, " Book 4, Chapter 34.)

Democratic governors form a public health alliance in a rebuke of Trump
They're framing it as a way to share data and messages about threats, emergency preparedness and public health policy at a time when the federal government isn't doing its job in public health.

If you are approached by federal agents: invoke your 5th Amendment right to remain silent, and your 6th Amendment right to counsel, by saying “I cannot answer any questions without my lawyer."

Nah. I can feel without direction from social media / media. IDC what they say about our protests, past present or future. They are nothing to me. I care very much what they *do* and *do not do* in their service to us. That's right – THEIR job is to serve US.

Whenever ICE abuses are posted, people reply, "Sue them!"

Nuh uh. Why do you think they're so casual about stopping people by crashing their cars into them? They're untouchable!

This is a strong argument you can make to any U.S. citizen that ICE should be abolished.

You have to understand that there is NO accountability for ICE even in theory. You can't sue an ICE agent. They won't be criminally prosecuted for violating your rights. They won't be fired. THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ICE IS TO RUN FROM ICE.
