The demolition of the East Wing of The White House has sure taken the focus off the release tomorrow of Virginia Giuffre’s memoirs of being trafficked.

We need community organizers with and without experience to help local communities everywhere to prepare for this winter. It’s urgent. Food and supplies are already scarce for Americans. Donate food, clothing, whatever you can. California has begun and winter states need to catch up.

First: Don Jr. is an idiot just like his dad. They can't avoid being idiots no matter how hard they try.
Second: Fox News caption "PRESIDENT TRUMP TRIGGERS THE LEFT WITH WHITE HOUSE RENOVATIONS". Nah, it should say "PRESIDENT TRUMP BREAKS WHITE HOUSE AFTER BEING TRIGGERED BY NO KINGS DAY CROWD SIZE"

Yeah, right - Russia is so big and strong that almost 3 years later, and over 1 million soldiers lost, they still haven't "conquered" Ukraine.

And today, they bombed a kindergarten to show their "strength".

I remember when that happened. It's hard to believe it was 11 years ago. My God, so much has changed in the world.

It's also hard to convey just how much ICE is *everywhere*. The city, the suburbs, in and out in the blink of an eye. A crew doing smash and grab jobs across a massive expanse of distance. Part of the reason whistle distro is so important is because you will never know where/when you will need it.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

It is so sad that it has reached this point.

And relieved that the California National Guard and Volunteers will be put to good use in helping the food banks.

One of the first birds at the feeder each morning, this Blue Jay looks like it has splatters of glitter - but it is the reflection of the raindrops on its feathers. So pretty❤️

Big Tech oligarchs are coming for your job.

Jeff Bezos will be replacing 600,000 jobs at Amazon with robots. His vision: fully automate operations.

Amazon's not alone. That's the direction of every major corporation.

AI & robotics must benefit workers, not the top 1%.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 23h

Amazon, the second largest employer in the U.S., aims to replace more than half a million jobs with robots, internal documents show.

Amazon Plans to Replace More Than Half a Million Jobs With Robots

It’s easy to say that a government is broken or pretend nothing you do is worth it because the previous government was just as broken. That’s the lazy way out. If you don’t like your governance then create your own, it’s that simple but it takes time, a lot of work, solidarity, and sacrifice.

I think we already know the answer to that question.

Somehow, this doesn't seem like the event they would be willing to die on the sword for - as BLATANT THIEVERY as it is.

They might be expecting a massive revolt at one point. Another civil war????

It's difficult to find the correct words to describe this daily insanity.

Why did he stop at 230million? Why not 1 billion? Why not 2 billion? There is no GOP that dares to stop him.

I want to remind everyone that it is time to release the #epsteinfiles

Incredibly infuriating 🤬- I hope he gets YEARS of jail time in the general population. I hear they have a liking for Pedos.

That poor child - I hope she gets the emotional treatment needed to heal.

I'm speechless.

The vulgarity of the addition represents Trump perfectly.

This piece of evidence needs to be well preserved when they try him and his entire regime for murder.

How many "shadow" Presidents are there? I thought ghoul Miller was the driving force behind the hatred of the American people.
