This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

Once again LAPD ignore the law AND a federal court injunction preventing them from brutalizing media. I was knocked at the ground by police horse and threatened on a number of occasions with the rest if I didn’t leave the area. PC409.7 clearly details protections for journalists.

Thank you to the Association of Corporate Counsel for inviting me to your conference in Philadelphia to discuss ways to recognize and address the problem of disinformation. I hope you will all find value in reading “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.”

Hundreds of new homes for veterans are coming to California through voter-approved Prop 1 funding.

707 permanent supportive homes — including 231 for veterans — will be built across the state through the Homekey+ program.

California stands with those who’ve served our country.

Trump’s “Peace Plan” was to get a victory lap on the world stage

Now that that’s over, Netanyahu is back to killing and Palestinians are back to dying

Protesters form a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach as part of Saturday’s No Kings day of action. The demonstrators supported Proposition 50, a measure on November’s ballot to redraw California’s congressional districts in response to Texas’ GOP-focused remapping.

Aid to Gaza is “temporarily halted” as the ceasefire is paused.

It lasted less than a week.

These folks need food. They need medicine. They need supplies.

Trump always takes the win, few details are provided as to how things will be enforced, and then when this happens he says nothing.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the beautiful voices of the antifa American patriots choir singing the national anthem at the No Kings protest in Olympia, Washington. Quite a sight for what Mike Johnson and Republicans labeled as a "hate America" rally, right? 😂🤣👇

When Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933, it wasn’t because he seized power. It was because Germany’s conservatives gave it to him. open.substack.com/pub/thecycle...

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

The Dems are trying to save our healthcare. Even Trump knows it. It’s why he won’t even negotiate.

A tweet from Blue Georgia reads: “Rep. Adam Smith: Mike Johnson has shut down the United States House of Representatives. I'm here. Republicans are not here…. Trump will negotiate with Hamas, and Putin, and North Korea, but he won't negotiate with Democrats?” Below, a CNN screenshot shows Rep. Adam Smith speaking in a hallway. The headline reads: “SHUTDOWN STANDOFF – TOP HOUSE REPUBLICAN WARNS AGENCY MANAGING U.S. NUCLEAR STOCKPILE MUST CUT 80% OF STAFF DURING SHUTDOWN.”

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

A tweet from Lu for Alaska reads: “NW Alaska evacuating in case you watch mainstream news and don’t know what’s happening up here.” The attached image shows the inside of a large military cargo plane packed with people sitting on the floor, many wearing coats and holding children, as they appear to be in the process of evacuation.

#CancelSpotify

They are running ICE ads.

They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.

Spread the word.
