Portland shows the way for joyful, peaceful organizing that hold the light up to Trump, Miller & the Gnome's lies about protestors for Democracy being violent.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

#RuleOfLaw #MaxwellPedophiliaAnOutrage

Releasing the #EpsteinFiles is crucial to maintaining the #RuleOfLaw in the US.

If we accept these travesties we have lost our moral fiber.

Seat #Grisalva and let's get on with it!

The Trump to Epstein conveyor belt of trafficked underage girls..

THAT is why Retrumplicans and Trump and the DOJ are doing all possible to block the release of the files!

Release the Epstein-Trump files!

AI needs food (electrons) and needs to not exist in its waste (heat). Locating AI centers in the desert is like expecting them to live in their own poop 💩 They will degrade and die just like anything living in it's own waste or living in high heat

Your 'moment of neo-fascist kakistocracy' for today:

"CDC has no leadership across multiple centers and offices... CDC cannot respond to this threat, which has the potential to kill hundreds of millions of people."

An extremely rough day for Edgewater in Chicago. ICE activity near schools. People kidnapped while working in yards, standing on hiring corners. So many rapid responders biking, walking, driving, whistles around necks, trying to protect their neighbors, but up against such well-funded forces.
