So once again, they're showing footage of the unrest in Portland in 2020 and trying to mislead their viewers into thinking that happened during a No Kings protest.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Raise your hand if you instinctively knew the MSM was going to drastically undercount the No Kings turnout.

It was 12 million. Not seven.

A digital poster with a black background and white text that says “we’re not asking. We are shutting it down. Mass blackout. November 25 to December 2 the largest economic blackout protest in history begins November 25. no work. No spending. No restaurants. no projects. No events. No restaurants. no backing out!!! prepare for the impact! to prepare before all participants purchase goods from community, owned stores and markets leading up to and after the dates. this helps with sustained imp and keeps our money out of the mega businesses pockets coordinated national pushback. Maximum local impact.

GOOD MORNING,

Senator Jeff Merkley is 13 hours into holding the Senate floor. Open the live stream on every device and support this 68yo man as he makes a stand for his state and our democracy. These stunts MATTER. Especially as they build in numbers and chip away at the false pretence of normalcy.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Our court system has lost all semblance of common sense. The protesters in Portland, OR occupy less than a 1/2 block in front of an ICE detention facility. Sending in National Guard is a huge waste of taxpayer $ & may provoke violence.

Great news! These ICE thugs need to be held accountable for their actions, they're not above the law! These January 6th Insurrectionists - Proud Boys, Oath Keepers & rednecks - should still be in prison for their heinous crimes & never been pardoned! Thank you Rep Garcia @robertgarcia.bsky.social 👏👏
MOM, WHY DO ICE AGENTS WEAR MASKS? BECAUSE THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY ARRESTED ON JANUARY 6 DEAR.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/
