The real winners of Trump’s attack on clean energy aren’t American

Unqualified fascist goons who just aren’t getting the usual arousal from beating their wives senseless are being paid with our hard earned dollars to terrorize communities, disappear people, zip-tie children, & obliterate due process.

They should be shamed everywhere they go.

I was in Chicago.
There is no violence except by ICE & Border patrol.
People are just going about their business of living.
Trumps’ bullshit about Chicago is pure fiction.
Stay strong Chicago. You have a lovely city & we plan on returning!

Gov. Pritzker on Adelita Grijalva: "Mike Johnson won't swear her in. Why is that? … She'll be the 218th signature forcing a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files."

Dear media. Flood Portland with reporters in tell us exactly what’s going on, good and bad. And spread the news widely that there is no insurrection. Are there bad actors? who are they? Tell us the news and debunk this insurrection bullshit.
