What the hell is going on at McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA! Looks like these militarized thugs are doing some kind of federal disappearing operation on street vendors in the park. This is only going to get worse with the new bloated ICE budget. #UnMaskICE

#NoKings Charlottesville was amazing. Crowd lining both sides of Seminole Trail as far as the eye can see.

We were out there today! I was absolutely blown away by the turnout and sense of community 🩷

Nooooo. You can always reach stuff on the high shelf for me.

Thinking ahead to the midterms (optimistically), with the known election interference in the past, would it possibly be helpful if we were to start pressuring local governments to count ballots by hand?

I think we should stop arguing with them. It’s corruption. It’s not debatable. πŸ—£οΈ Facts aren’t up for debateπŸ—£οΈ Call it out and respond accordingly.

A social media post featuring two tweets. The first tweet by Anne Applebaum states that every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress, and mentions age restrictions for using the reading room. The second tweet from Acyn quotes a reporter asking why the president fired the Librarian of Congress, followed by a response addressing concerns about actions taken regarding the library and children’s books. The background includes the White House press briefing setting with a lectern and flags.

People who never read books now in charge of books.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

What the fuck are we doing here?

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

We could all be Kilmar Abrego Garcia…Even if we’re citizens.

That’s part of why we have to fight for him.
But we also have to fight and never stop because America will never have a king. We don’t do those here. A monarch goes against everything we stand for.
No kings in America, now or ever.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

I don’t disagree with you. As it stands, it’s been able to be manipulated. I believe that the US Constitution needs to be heavily amended.

Yes!! Some of the ladies in the town hall were much more emphatic about it too.

Exactly. I was at a town hall in rural Virginia yesterday. I was one of the youngest people present (I’m 35) and they were saying the same things I see here. They need to figure out where this fits.

Rubio touts migrants sent to El Salvador after judge orders planes return The secretary of state confirmed the U.S. deported 250 gang members to El Salvador, just a day after a federal judge ordered deportation flights to be reversed.

So the Admin has defied the order of a federal judge. www.newsweek.com/rubio-touts-...

If that’s what you do mean, yes, of course. I was an American teenager. It’s done with the intent to be annoying and/or to damage the coating/finish. It’s not too much different than egging a car.
