My wife AI’d this image for a protest. Democracy dies in apathy. And Melania’s stupid jacket. What you think?

Marie Antoinette in Melania Trump’s classless jacket and a cake that says “democracy dies in apathy.”

ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

“Video of the arrest taken by an onlooker showed ICE agents handcuffing Brockman after they forced her to lie on her stomach. As the agents were detaining her, Brockman told the onlooker her name and asked him to let her employer, WGN, know what had happened to her.”

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Correct. Trump is directing hard propaganda at the American people and it’s time to get very loud.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Yes. Makes pretty clear the “AI industry” is basically a business model dependent upon theft of intellectual property and it should be dead on arrival.

First of all, no shit. The US military will have to make the choice between following illegal and unconstitutional orders or not. Choice is pretty clear.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

There is no budget "deal" to be made

President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

The regime reeks of desperation right now, y'all. This is like how your abusive ex was his most controlling and dangerous right before you broke free of him. These are scary times bc they are desperate to scare us. They see the American people rising in opposition and they're panicking.
