Elected Republicans are getting desperate. Their lies are getting more ridiculous. They’re now trying to discourage protest by claiming No Kings will be a hate rally with terrorists. Millions of Americans have the chance to demonstrate how wrong they are.

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

In Chicago, it’s been reported a man has had to hide a terrified 7 year old child from military style 🧊 raids. She was so scared that she hid under his bed. This is America, and a city under siege by a government hunting children. This is what we’ve become in 10 months.

It really is insane that working for ICE is a job people choose to have.

Like people legit wake up, and get ready to go to work at the Kidnapping Industrial Complex like it ain’t nothing.

First, you can’t fire altCDC and our #altgovs so we gonna be here. Pissing you all off by sharing the tea, giving real info and supporting our government employees.

The government is only as strong as its employees.
And you’ve pissed off a lot of super smart and super skilled employees.

Shoutout to the small boy on this train who is performing an acapella song of his own composition, entitled “I Love My Little Feet”. In these trying times, may we all love our little feet.
