Trump’s lack of respect for this country and its history and progress is staggering.

It feels useless to say “Imagine if Obama had done this” because the GOP is nothing if not utterly hypocritical.

They’d be up in arms and we all know it.

This is so disheartening.

They’ve worked 20 days in 16 weeks and still pocket a full taxpayer-funded salary.

The same people preaching “hard work” and “fiscal responsibility” can’t even clock in.

Government by grifters, paid for by you.

Keep protesting! We are the majority.

This is so wrong and unjust. The orange buffoon legal team is using peaceful protests as pretext for deploying National Guard into Blue cities, and courts at every level are caving in and folding.

This shutdown is ridiculous. In the meantime, there’s plenty of money to give to Argentina, to buy 2 private jets for Noem, to shoot expensive artillery in California and to demolish the WH. Oh, let’s not forget his many golf excursions.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

No other U.S. president has used the military as their own personal police force against the American people.

We implore the courts to reject Donald Trump's ongoing, illegal actions and definitively affirm states' sovereign right to handle public safety matters.

The No Kings protests were fantastic

But we have to keep going

Because Trump’s fascism will never stop-as evidenced by the fact that his ICE thugs tear gassed protesters in Portland last night-and we can’t let him win

Stay engaged, my friends
