No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

A little boy holds a handmade sign with hearts glued to it. It reads, “leave my friends ALONE Donald Trump”. He’s bravely protesting at the No Kings Evanston protest.

Trump's 'good' immigrant criteria:

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

A reminder for people who my have forgotten.

Not long ago fires were set:

1) at the PMs private home (currently rented out)
2) at a home where he used to live
3) to a car the PM used to own

3 men have appeared in court today, facing charges of arson for the attacks.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Israel once again bombed residential areas in Lebanon, violating Security Council resolution SCR 1701, ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences.

This is another war crime and the ICC remains silent.

Israel has violated the ceasefire 4500+ times
