The system feeds on your outrage. It can weaponize your anger and categorize your protest. But it can’t process humor. It can’t predict love. That’s why kindness and laughter are still the most radical acts left.

There literally is. Pay more attention. I hope you’re one of us.

There’s more of us than there are of them. They can’t control us. They can’t stop us from voicing our dissent. Thugs and thuggery is not a winning future, even if they think so. See you at No Kings.

Why would you say nobody cares about people disappearing?

You don’t see the protests? You don’t see people saving off against ICE everyday, everywhere?

Pay better attention.

1000% agree. I remember trying to rally people in my County to sign petitions to get him on the ballot in Jersey 4 hrs before the deadline for the Dem primary in 2016. Complete disaster.

I like Bernie, but he tries to use the Dem party when it’s convenient and bails on them when it’s not.

My wife’s medical insurance is going up $750 a month. A MONTH.

That’s an $9000 annual increase. How are people supposed to pay for this?

This is a deliberate attempt to provoke the American people into violence so this morally bankrupt regime can declare martial law.

Young Republican leaders from across nation were caught sharing openly racist, anti-Semitic, sexist and pro-fascist messages. Yet the corrupt corporate media all but ignores it. I'm not ignoring it! This deserves far more coverage. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/young-gop-...

Young GOP leaders racist, fascist, anti-Semitic and sexist messages are vile--but perfectly sum up MAGA

The future of the GOP on parade

Whoa‼️ Dems could lose 19 seats due to GOP gerrymandering.

CA, UT & MD can’t fight fire with fire alone. Other blue states must step up, and every Democrat needs to vote. Don’t sit out any election.

Push your governors and legislators to act. Tell friends and family to vote. Help them. #YesOnProp50

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle—we'd call that a kidnapping. Until an alleged ICE agent identifies themselves, that's what this is.

For all we know they're a rapist murderer stalker looking for their next victim. Indefensible. Dem leadership must act NOW.

Their reasoning, objective, is to incite people to violence in defense so Trump can justify use of force in the Cities.
