WTF 🤬
Goons brutally pushed a peaceful protester to the ground and dragged them across the floor.

Just to be clear, this is EXACTLY what Pete Hegseth said, word for word, on video in a formal announcement:

“We’re signing a letter of acceptance to BUILD A QATARI AIR FORCE FACILITY at the Mountain Home Airbase.”

We'd love to see you at Audubon Park. Annie says, "Tell her we'll be in costume".

Got it. There's nothing set for the 18th in Covington. Indivisible here teamed up with Tango for something in Hammond. Baton Rouge and Lafayette are causing their usual good trouble. All I'm aware of nearby is the big one in New Orleans and the small one up at Audubon Park which we will attend.

The President is a r*pist.

We should never stop being pissed off about this.

Chicagoland is a friendly, safe, vibrant, & fun place. I’m very happy my kids have grown up in the Rogers Park neighborhood of the city, & in Evanston. They’re both wonderful places.

But ICE is attacking us. People are doing everything possible to protect their neighbors. But it’s hard.

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.

Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Not if people are hesitant to show up. A number of people in Covington and elsewhere north of the lake were considering sitting it out due to parking/safety concerns and unfamiliarity with the area. We thought it best to accommodate them New Orleans is big enough for multiple actions.
