PSA’s slogan on their radio ads is “Don’t be a victim, buy a gun.” Lol. Well….

"The Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times has obtained a list of more than 700 people who have been detained or appear to be scheduled to be sent to the Florida-run immigration detention facility known as Alligator Alcatraz."

Is your family member or client at Alligator Alcatraz? We obtained a list

The Trump and DeSantis administrations have refused to release a roster of detainees, none of whom seem to appear in ICE’s online database.

With the distractions from all the destructive forces working in our federal government, I nearly forgot what a horrible, stupid piece of shit Tommy Tuberville is.

Tuberville says ‘inner city rats’ live off the American taxpayers: Trump should send them ‘back home’

"These inner city rats, they live on the federal government," Tuberville said in the interview.

If you’re under 30, you weren’t even born the last time Andrew Cuomo lived here.

There’s no reason for the US to display its military might. It’s not a mystery. This parade is only being held to stroke the fragile ego of a deteriorating old man.

Was my first time attending a protest. Didn’t expect this and was a little nervous recording. I’ll definitely do better if it happens again!

There were ACLU reps on site and everything was documented. 🤞

To be fair.. Banks, GA is closer to ATL than Savannah. And we elected Warnock, not Walker. I get what you’re trying to say but there are good people here.

Really appreciate the ACLU reps and event organizers who were on site for keeping everyone calm and getting her released quickly. No more arrests and she got released before the march started. Yellow/blue vests getting it done. ❤️

Maybe. All I can say is their volunteers helped here.

Derek @dbkrause.bsky.social · Jun 14

Yup. She didn’t do anything. Told her to take off her mask, she said no, which he decided was illegal. Right in front of ACLU reps and event organizers too.

They kept everyone calm, talked to police, and she was released pretty quick. The yellow vests at this event were awesome!

That’s my experience today. Never been to a protest before. Didn’t know what to expect but I left feeling empowered. This is not what most Americans want. I cannot overstate the amount of people who were out in Savannah. The biggest public crowd of people I’ve seen in the 5 years I’ve lived here.

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · Jun 14

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.
