If anyone wonders why we call them wannabe authoritarians, here you go.

They’re now shitting on the Bill of Rights.

“Policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.”

Absolute fucking abomination.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

There was a mass shooting in South Carolina last night and all we get from the GOP is thoughts and prayers.

Here’s my plan.

This is someone with a plan. She would have my vote if I lived in South Carolina. Since I don’t, I’m sharing to make sure more people see this.

Meanwhile in Portland…Frog becomes symbol of resistance. Teasing seems far more effective than fighting. Loving all the frogs and creative costumes!

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

As we all watch MAGA crash out over this Qatari air force facility in Idaho. I'll be happy to remind them that back in 2017, Trump himself publicly accused Qatar of being a funder of terrorism. “The nation of Qatar, unfortunately, has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Today is the three year anniversary of Alex Jones losing his court case and being ordered to pay $965 million to the families of the children slaughtered at Sandy Hook.
Three years & Jones has failed to pay a single dime, while squirreling as much of his money as possible away in offshore accounts.

Trump: “I don’t know what could be worse than Portland. They don’t even have stores anymore”.

Portland: Busts out the inflatable frog, raccoon, bear and unicorn for a late night dance party.

This isn’t a city of dangerous criminals.

It’s a city of artists. Of writers. Of weirdos. Of resisters.

Unredacted? Or just the Repubs names blacked out leaving Dems to fall? Everyone in there needs to go down, but unfortunately I have zero trust that this takes down the GOP.
