If Joe Biden was unable to close an umbrella there would have been +/- 1,000 think pieces in the newspapers of America questioning whether he was capable of discharging the duties of the office of President of the United States.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

When you care about something deeply, & you see it going horrifically wrong, exhaustion is inevitable. But I've found the best antidote to exhaustion is engagement, participation, standing up, speaking out, staying strong, rallying, marching, protesting ... engaging.

Come on friends, let's roll.

Marc Elias’ law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump and the GOP have launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

He started Democracy Docket in 2020 to keep you informed. https://bit.ly/47a0rR6

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
