Spotted today outside the Concentration Camp that the Trump Administration has dubbed Alligator Alcatraz, where human beings are being held in horribly inhumane conditions. Reports of mass illnesses and torture with no lawyers or humanitarian workers or Congressional oversight allowed.
In America.

More devastating news out of Kerrville. 😔
So many questions that must be answered.

Seeing Ted Cruz backtrack with his weakass “reasonable conversations” pisses me off.

What he actually said initially, on camera, was that these girls dying was “God’s will.”

This is disgusting.

So it’s just going to be every cops everywhere now that uses excessive force upon people and violates their constitutional rights.

This is Charleston, SC and they did this for all of 10 people just exercising their first amendment.

OMG, y’all. ROTFL🤣

It looks like Trump had crowd-size issues again.

What a fantastic way to close #ObamaDay

Please pass it on so others can see what an epic failure he is.

I have lived in the SF Valley for 20+ years, there are usually a few hundred people at the corner of Laurel and Ventura blvd for every protest. It was so incredibly amazing & heartwarming to see the thousands of people that showed up and lined the streets today!! Don't mess with LA Trump!! #nokings

Let’s show Donald Trump that he is not fit to be King. Let him know in America: We have no Kings!

Joe Biden is in our heart. Always.

@rayosunlong.bsky.social and I had the absolute honor and privilege of traveling with Joe during the 2020 primary season. He’s a good and decent man who’s truly fought for the soul of this nation.

Prayers up. 💙🇺🇸🥁🙏🏽

And shame on *anyone* trying to sully his name.

Video I took on the 100th Day of Trump’s first term. #tbt
“Welcome to your 100th Day.
We will not go away.”

Will be interesting to see the turnout for #MayDay2025 protests tomorrow at 100 Days of Term 2.

We need to keep up the fight to #SaveDemocracy

Onward!

Remember this plea from 2 months ago?
“Losing his healthcare would be catastrophic.”

My worst fears were realized.
My son lost his Medicaid earlier this month.

You could be next.

The Trump-Musk budget will end Medicaid as we know it -
*for the benefit of billionaires.*

Please keep calling the Capitol switchboard to protect us from shadow President Musk.

My family, my son, is at risk of losing his Medicaid waiver, Medicare and Social Security.

No one voted for Elon Musk.
Absolutely no one.
