Just so we are all clear:
There is nothing stopping the Trump Regime from sending masked ICE agents to your home to kick in your door, execute you and your family and say you were all “narco-terrorists”.
That’s where we are at.

About Red States on #NoKings:

Red State Dems often feel invisible. Unseen. But we are here. We’re doing the work. Often in hostile places. In the places nobody else dares to go. Despite gerrymanders, voter suppression, and without support.

But we keep showing up.

Don’t count us out.

Count us in.

The East Wing was first added in 1942, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, primarily to provide office space for the First Lady’s staff and to conceal a newly built underground bunker known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) during World War II.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl.

After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking.

Shouting match. Cursing.

And this ⤵️

Trump "adopted many of Putin’s talking points verbatim, even when they contradicted his own statements about Russia’s weaknesses..

"Trump told Zelenskyy that Putin had told him the conflict was a 'special operation, not even a war.'”

First, I had no idea the US State Dept was located in W. Palm Beach, Florida. News to me!

Second, and I say this from the position of combat experience, killing anyone is not a "trick" and I think that's disrespectful for troops all around. We follow lawful orders in defense of our nations.

I’m just sick. One of my students-a sweet, kind freshman came to my office yesterday. Through the sobs she told me how her brother, a 22 year old dreamer, brought to this country from Guatemala when he was a child, was abducted by three men on his way to work. They don’t know where he is.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.
