Now might be a good time to remind certain (ICE) folks that "I was just following orders" was NOT accepted as a defense at Nuremberg and it won't be accepted for their crimes either.

This isn't peaceful....as usual, there is projecting and gaslighting happening to the American people. These thugs are violent- guns, masks, no ID, handcuffing innocent people with no warrant, kidnapping, disappearing people...

Yet, "NO KINGS" peaceful protest planned is being called "haters of America" and "violent terrorists) by this regime. Be careful and do NOT do anything that could be misconstrued as "violent" and do NOT resist arrest. Make sure we all film what's happening on that day.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove that you are a citizen.
And just like that you’ve disappeared

This insanity must stop. Not knowing who is arresting you and why is a crime. We, the people, must push back and force these so-called ICE agents off of our streets. We Americans deserve better. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlueforOurFuture

True! RFK, Jr DID say this!
He should be forced to resign. He is incompetent and mentally deranged. He is harming Americans with his false conspiratorial theories.

RFK Jr. said children circumcised early had 'double' rate of autism linked to Tylenol use

The U.S. secretary of health and human services cited a preprint study to back his claim.

Trump humiliated, the Nobel Peace Prize eludes him once again, despite his insistence. Since the beginning of his second term, he has not stopped complaining that he deserves it for supposedly resolving numerous conflicts, a claim that is a complete lie.

Is Senator Bill Cassidy, a physician, going to idly sit back and watch the dismantling of the CDC by the trump administration. More layoffs at CDC of the EIS officers who investigate outbreaks, and team that puts together the weekly publication MMWR. Trump and RFKJr must be stopped. #DV1 #ProudBlue

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

The trump regime started their latest round of firings of federal workers yesterday. If you are a federal worker and aren’t a member of a union it might be time to join one. Unions will work to protect you from trump’s attack on your livelihood.

4,000 federal workers fired due to ongoing government shutdown

The mass layoffs will affect government workers in at least seven Cabinet-level agencies, according to the document filed in the District Court for the Northern District of California, where federa…

Everytime I watch MSM, It's like watching a hostage video.

Am I the only one seeing this?

With the exception of @maddow & @Lawrence and other @MSNBC pundits, every other news outlet is afraid to call out Trump's BS.

In his words ….

“Well, they did sign up for it actually, and this is what I campaigned on.”

For all the people leaving maga saying, “we didn’t know it would be this bad, he deceived us.”

No he didn’t, he was pretty clear.

You just didn’t care until it affected you.

Good morning, friends! Life's magic occurs in unscripted moments and in unexpected gestures of kindness. Beauty reveals itself unannounced, but only to those with an open heart, ready to receive it. Don’t wait for perfection. The extraordinary is happening right now.

We are our own worst enemy. It's important to be able to disagree; it's fatal for the gov't to take irretrievable steps without (note lower case) democratic approval. The tiny majority with which Trump won in 2024 shouldn't give him free rein.

Perfect summary. If you love your country, you do things to help other Americans prosper. If your policies take away health care, education, and other benefits, that is not love.
