MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

When we say “No Kings” this should include the nasty billionaires who use their money to control all media and the government.

What a crock of shit from Marc Benioff — who appears willfully ignorant of news and facts and so thirsty for approval and attention from the Trump tech bros (who in the past mocked him relentlessly) that he is soiling himself in public www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Thanks for using '(sic)'. Helps to let everyone know the president is illiterate.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, which is why injustice somewhere must be maintained everywhere." – Donald Trump, 2025 Nobel Peace Prize loser

Screenshot from the other site of post by the Nobel Prize account, with a photo of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

(quote) “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” (unquote)

Martin Luther King's 1964 peace prize brought global attention to the civil rights struggle in the United States and strengthened his influence as an international advocate for nonviolent protest, human rights, and racial equality.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

When referring to people who are anti-Trump, don't fall into the trap of calling them "Antifa."

That is a loaded, mangled word. Call them what they are, "anti-fascists."

I don't want to make guesses, but natural gas can blow up spontaneously from issues that aren't readily visible. We had an entire block explode in San Bruno:
