Where Antifa are laid to rest! Visited with my husband and sons last year, such brave soldiers fighting fascism!

In fact he denied he knew anything about Project 2025 and promised to bring prices down & release the Epstein files… then did the opposite as soon as he gained power. NO MANDATE!!!

In Australia if a politician lies on the campaign trail and breaks even one tiny promises when in power… they’re gone!

I know everything is getting worse and Trump is trying to dismantle America, but all of this is a sign of a very weak, desperate Presidency that realizes it's unpopular and has lost the majority.

The economy sucks, the Epstein Files aren't released, and people didn't vote for a MAGA dictatorship.

Kind of wonder what the media reaction would have been if Biden accidentally publicly ordered Garland to prosecute his enemies.

The most frustrating thing about this war is that the US could step in forcefully now with harsh sanctions against Russia and a large military package for Ukraine with ranged weapons as the centrepiece, and the war would end soon with a Russian defeat.

Yes, I’m in love with the American courts (other than 6 of the SCOTUS)… almost every other judge has been superb!

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

The resistance fought valiantly to push back the fascist forces, risking arrest & harm. The fascists tried beating them, tear gassing, and water cannons to push them back. The resistance was armed with only signs, flags, and the strength of their bravery. #3E #GeorgiaProtests
