Tell it to the folks who protested by chucking crates of tea into Boston Harbor, which led to the Revolutionary War. 🤫 They had a king. They dumped him. Now it's our turn.

Mike Johnson today: "He greatly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. In fact, Speaker Ohana of the Knesset & I have joined forces to collect as many signatures as we can from other leaders of parliaments to join us in co-nominating Trump for the next Nobel Peace Prize. Nobody is more deserving."

NEWS: Israel has launched new strikes in Gaza after accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire. The IDF says Hamas fighters fired on troops in Rafah, prompting retaliation. Netanyahu ordered forces to “act forcefully.” Hamas denies the charge, claiming it’s honoring the truce.

UPDATE: Israel is striking all over Gaza, claiming Hamas violated the ceasefire.

Hamas says they didn’t, and it was settlers running over an explosive device.

Bottom line: people are still dying, including children.

From the ACLU. 5 key phrases to say if ICE confronts you at the protest. Practice by saying them out loud to yourself bc you may feel intimidated by them. Remember to stay peaceful and don’t get conversational with or get into it with them. #NoKings
