Speaking my mind after years of believing that what I believed didn’t matter. It does. Speak your truth, especially to those who don’t want to hear it. They need it most of all.🕊️. Please don’t DM me, I prefer to converse in public view. Thanks 🤗🕊️💐

“You know damn well there is somebody briefing him on all this stuff. It is not that he is ignorant about it – any more, frankly, than when President Trump claims, ‘Oh, I didn’t know about that.’”

Ignorance is BS: speaker’s stock answer on Trump’s misdeeds is ‘I don’t know’

This is bullshit.
ICE continues to destroy lives.
SDPD leadership needs to decide what part of history they want to be in.
The officers responding should be intervening on behalf of the public, not the thugs violating the rights of others.

It's going to cost taxpayer's a lot of money to undo the trumpification of the Whitehouse.
Presidents claiming to be scholars is nothing new. Wilson, Jefferson, Clinton, Obama and Adams 1&2 being a few.

Trump claims he's a historian...of bathroom renovations. 😖

Feel great yet?

I’ll never get over the orange felon and his creepy racist scumbag pet JD Vance constantly attacking immigrants and saying that immigration is destroying the US whilst one of their spouses are an actual immigrant whilst the other is the daughter of Indian immigrants.

Thanks to the orange felon and MAGA, Kennedy Center Honors are officially meaningless and trashy. It has now turned into a fascist show for one criminal’s ego boost. Those accepting bullshit awards from him at this point are just as immoral and evil as he is.

People detained at the nation’s largest ICE detention center report that officers have beaten them and used the threat of violence and criminal charges to coerce non-Mexican immigrants into crossing the border into the Mexican desert.

We're demanding that the facility be shut down immediately.
ACLU claims Cuban detainees were beaten for refusing removal to Mexico
The group claims that attempted "third country" deportations are part of the threats migrants have to endure at a large ICE detention center at Fort Bliss.

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.

He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.

What a betrayal of American values!
