Bovino says they are in cities to โdeal with violence,โ but ICE seems to be the cause of the violence rather than the solution
This is a turning point.
This is the line we draw.
This is the moment history will remember โ when millions stood together to say NO to Trump, Vance, Vought, Theil, and all the corrupt cronies and cult.

Weโre honored to report that over 11 million showed up for todayโs No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Justโฆ wow. WOW ๐ฎ! Thereโs nothing more to say.
Some ducks have joined one of the #NoKings rallies in Portland, OR!
A statement from Kamala D. Harris: Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administrationโs cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. This Administrationโs actions are not about public safety โtheyโre about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process. Protest is a powerful tool โ essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful. I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.
My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.
Under the heading โPeak Operational Efficiency,โ a person sits at a computer with speech bubbles that say variations of โYouโre Fired!โ and โBack to Work!,โ in addition to directives and retractions regarding sending the manager a list of five accomplishments.

Investigate further. Are there any other legitimate sources saying the same thing? Disinformation can also be made to cause outrage. If it makes you react or feel a certain way, take a moment and ask yourself if that was its intended purpose.

Take a moment to question the source! Don't be quick to trust what you read online and verify before believing or sharing it with others.

Russia has posed a significant cyber threat, and yet Hegseth is now ordering U.S. Cyber Command to stand down on planning against Russia.
Protect yourself online, strengthen your cyber education and learn to identify mis/disinformation.

Thought we were attempting to reduce the federal deficit? Instead, Trumpโs proposed budget plan is projected to significantly increase it.
Just got the hardcover 10th anniversary edition of one of my favorite books ๐
My emotional support kitty getting me through these trying times.
Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.
Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
Let's keep it going. โ๏ธ
"Senators were informed this week that the Senate phone system was receiving 1,600 calls per minute, a sharp increase from the usual 40 calls a minute."

I called my representatives for the first time recently. Even as an introverted person, the website/app 5calls.org made it easy: Set your location, pick an issue, call the listed phone numbers and read the script provided if you're not sure what to say. You can also leave a voicemail instead!
Banned books & my tbr
I'm working on my physical tbr list this year! Focusing on some banned books, historical fiction, and non-fiction exploring important political and social issues. I may need to sprinkle in some light-hearted, cozy mysteries to keep me sane. Lol Tbd on the rest of my tbr for now. ๐
Hey #BookSky Take a deep breath and relax into your book.
Some reminders about fact-checking! โ
Hoping to use this platform to become better educated, thoughtful, and intentional. ๐ I want to:
๐ฐ Stay informed & share the knowledge
๐ Read banned books
๐ Learn from our history, other perspectives, ideas, and voices
While also finding joy when I can ๐ฅด:
๐จ๐ฎ๐ Craft projects, cozy games, fiction
Hot take ๐ฅ: I donโt need to experience something firsthand to care deeply about it. Empathy isnโt limited to proximity.
(Why does this even need to be said? ๐ฉ)
