Paid leave is a basic necessity for families. How is this even a little bit controversial??

This is heartbreaking on so many levels. I am so sorry that you and your son have to deal with this insanity.

There was never ANY doubt that these "detention centers" were anything but another grift for yam tits and his pals.

$4,384,380,000 (yes, BILLION) a year, of OUR TAX $, are going into the pockets of these private prison owners.

Not healthcare.
Not housing.
Not education.
NOT DEPORTATION.

Prisons.

Tell Vance that there is an instance of waste, fraud and abuse in the DHS purchase from Dalfen in NJ.
The 2026 assessed value is ~$62.2M, yet DHS paid over double that.

Wish this had been the chyron during your Noem story last night. Kudos to all the #montclairsundays protesters and this sign in particular.

Tuberville also fails to mention that those two hours happen to always be in the middle of meetings.

Congrats! Just followed them. Trump accountability will be incredibly cathartic when it finally happens!

Exercising our First Amendment rights is the best way we know how to hold onto them! Peaceful protest is not only our right, but it becomes our responsibility when faced with authoritarian threats! #montclairsundays

We want ICE off our streets and out of our communities. We are all less safe when masked men feel emboldened to kidnap and murder with impunity.🧊🚫 #montclairsundays #iceout

The state of emergency in NJ right now may stop us from gathering in person for our weekly peaceful protest. However, the state of our country is still a disaster, so we take the protest to social media! β™₯️ #montclairsundays

America gave up kings 250 years ago and adopted a system in which β€œno one is above the law.”

But presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

The legacy of the John Roberts Supreme Court.

My dad calls that, β€œpulling an all nighter.β€πŸ˜‚ I love how it flips the youthful version of what that means on its head.

@filmmakerjulie.bsky.social and I started a weekly peaceful protest 1 year ago to speak out against the horrors of this administration. Since then Montclair Sundays has grown into beautiful community of hope, resistance, and joy.
