I bet each and every one of those officers is thinking they will go viral in a heartbeat if they lay hands on that frog. Anything that discourages them from violence is a good thing.

Genius.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

To be human is to teach. It’s the most loving and honorable thing we can do for one another.

I see the light in our teacher candidates' eyes when they speak about working with young people.

We are light workers. I don't want that light hidden under a proverbial bushel. I want it to shine. God knows we need all the candles we can get in these bleak times.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

It’s inspiring to connect with so many others who are passionate about democracy and making the world a better place. Might sound cheesy but it doesn’t make it any less true. 💙🦋

I just want to keep saying thanks all. Really hadn't seen a community grow this fast before. While I am happy to follow others that are not MAGA cultists, I have been amazed at the return of follows. We got something here guys. The start of a movement. Thanks organizers!

I thought so. That’s a great point too. I don’t think the general public is as divided as it has seemed. Maybe we’re starting to wake up to that.

Hadn’t heard of that book, but thanks for the heads up. It was on sale on Kindle for $1.99 so I snagged it!🤗👍

All you peacenik liberals wringing hands over what to do: Yes, of course, vote. It's your primary responsibility as a citizen.

But now more than ever, fulfill your second civic responsibility: Serve on juries. Never has it been more imperative to thwart rogue injustice.

Another solid argument for hope. I know it’s taking its sweet ol’ time, but the tide is turning. The pendulum of history always swings away from extremism and cruelty.

We’re not looking away. We’re staring right at them with fierce determination in our eyes. Bullies think they’re powerful until they come face to face with someone who won’t back down.

I am 100% certain they are beginning to realize they poked the dragon. There are millions more of us than them.

There is no way Trump didn’t know all the intimate details of this operation, and there’s no way he wasn’t an active participant in the abuse.

That’s why they’re describing it as a “bomb” and scurrying like rats on a sinking ship trying to distance themselves from it.

One of the most frustrating things about the Trump propaganda machine is how they claim that anyone who resists them is un-American and that we hate America (Mike Johnson, ugh).

Keep on underestimating us. It’s our love for America that makes us stronger than you. We’ll fight harder than you will.

As a lifelong Texan I approve this message. If Abbott actually cared about Texas citizens, he’d take care of us instead of consolidating power and trying to please Trump. Beyond pathetic and inexcusable.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1d

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof
