House #Republicans 🐘 have worked a total of 14 days since July 25th.

You can't blame a #shutdown on #Democrats 🫏 when the entire Republican Party hasn't even bothered to show up for work.

This is what #trumpisafascist is doing. He is using random laws used for extreme situations in order to violate people’s human rights. Then, when Americans protest this with peaceful protests he is saying it’s insurrection and using the peaceful protests as an excuse to send #ice agents, into cities

I am expanding access to behavioral health services through newly signed legislation that ensures individuals in crisis receive timely treatment, housing, and ongoing support in coordination with courts and local agencies.

We won't sit on the sidelines to address this crisis.

Governor Newsom signs legislation approving updates to CARE Court, California's court-supervised behavioral health care system launched in 2023.

Exist in public? They can arrest you.

Sitting quietly in your home. They can arrest you, and take all your stuff

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:

DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property

In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.

Ten percent of Gazans have been killed or wounded — mostly women, children, & the elderly.

The U.S. has sent $22 billion taxpayer dollars to facilitate Netanyahu's slaughter.

This ceasefire must hold, the hostages must be freed, aid must flow and this horrific war must end.

Georgian doctors have gathered in front of parliament for Day 317 of uninterrupted, nationwide protests — showing support for the 72-year-old pediatrician arrested by swarms of police yesterday.

Three other doctors are already among Georgia’s 100+ political prisoners.

Turning Point doesn't want a halftime show they want a culture war. They’re not trying to entertain anyone. They’re trying to mark territory. The whole thing is about control, over taste, over identity and who counts as “American.” God forbid your patriotism has a beat or a bilingual chorus.

The conservative non-profit urged followers to vote on music genres, including "Americana," "Worship," and "Anything in English."

I’m Only Scared That ICE will wear those costumes too, to cause bad trouble. I hope as usual I assume the worst, and it will not happen.
