We have the power! The Power of the people! It’s wrong that we even have to risk our safety to defend our country against our own government, but a free Democratic society is key to our future and we must ensure it! Find your local No Kings protest www.nokings.org

Best I can tell, she has been a good Gov. The sad part is that I think she would be better working behind the scenes in support of a younger (think longer term) candidate.

The No Kings day protests are this weekend on Saturday. This post from Homeland security on Twitter really highlights for us one more reason why we need to have a great showing! They are saying the quiet parts out loud!

This is not appropriate Bullies are not acceptable. Using the police to try and instill fear is fascist. Look up the definition!

No warrant, no ID. Complete chaos and lawlessness.

So if a stranger shows up and grabs me off the bus, I’m supposed to assume it’s ICE?

🧵 I’ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress. I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is — for her 21st term! We need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is wrong on every level. The Republicans don’t care about families. This makes that point very evident.

How is this not getting more media attention. In what world do law enforcement officers threaten medical first responders? A fascist authoritarian world, that’s where.

It it’s important that law firms, companies, news organizations, colleges and universities and other targeted organizations do not comply in advance. Kudos for doing the right thing!

This is abhorrent. Since when did we treat human beings like fascist dictator authoritarian regimes. Oh. Since we became one.

Crimes against humanity are being committed at these “detention facilities “ aka concentration camps. We need to continue to raise this issue. Share it with your friends and family. They need to know the truth!
