Orlando Citizens Defy DeSantis, Re-Color Pulse Memorial Sidewalk In Rainbow Colors

Reposted

1. Orlando citizens defied DeSantis and re-colored the rainbow crosswalk commemorating Pulse Nightclub victims.

The DeSantis admin had the memorial crosswalk painted over black during the cover of night.

Community members had it restored the very next day.

Trump and DeSantis admins ordered rainbow crosswalks removed, and the Pulse Memorial crosswalk was among the first painted over. Now, citizens are fighting back.

Perhaps they should adopt a new motto to go along with this logo.

38 years ago today our family moved back to Iowa.

Chuck Grassley had already been in the Senate for 6 years.

It's time for term limits.

The thing is, unless Iowa's DOGE taskforce is out there looking for the Epstein files, the entire exercise is a waste of everyone's time.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The oldest trick in politics is to point at a group of people and say, "Surely, you don't want THOSE people in your community. Surely, you don't want THOSE people to have equal rights."

While they are picking your pocket.

The passing of the Big Bankrupting Bill proved that maxim

Let's talk about the Big 🐂💩 Bill and other terrible things that happened this week.

Congress passed the Big 🐂💩 Bill and Iowa strips Civil Rights from trans people. Those two events are absolutely related as Dark Money Oligarchs target our community to pass a bill that harms millions ...

For anyone cheering this new war I want you to think about this:

What's the US response if Iran targets, injures or kills US military members?

What does the US do if Iran makes the Straights of Hormuz or the Red Sea impassable?

Escalation.

Wars are easy to get in to and hard to get out of

I was working for MCI and having customers telle we were all a bunch of terrorist sympathizers and al-Qaeda lackeys because Danny Glover was our spokes person.

Just so we're clear America is back to fighting an illegal war in the Middle East based on rumors of non-existent weapons of mass destruction.

At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump pulled off his mask revealing that he was George W. the entire time

I don't know who needs to hear this, but, the US Military is not a parade float, nor is it a weapon to be used against the people of the United States.

Trump really, really, really wants his Reichstag Fire.

But what's happening in LA is less destructive than when Philadelphia wins a sports ball.

Nevertheless, this manufactured crisis will be carried live on Fox News feat. Dr. Phil.

Talkin' about the highlights and lowlights this session w / my totes bestie Rep. Larry McBurney in the law library. We weren't too loud. 😉#iowapolitics #ialegis #larrymcburney #aimewichtendahl
