Going back to that raid on the South Shore apartment building. It hasn't gotten much focus that the goons reportedly traveled the same way Patriot Front does: in UHauls.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Don’t tell All of Mpls! We might get a scary email about how unsafe Minneapolis is and how the socialist took to the street today.

The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.

A myth about royalty is the idea that they hold to a chivalrous standard. Their word is their bond & they are nothing without honour. When accused of being a paedophile Windsor* lied & refused to help police. His mum paid off his accuser. Deal with White grooming gangs now:
After all those scandals, why did Prince Andrew quit his titles now?
He has voluntarily given up his titles but was clearly under pressure to jump before he was pushed.

Tallahassee is liberal-ish, but in a very red state. It also is a small city. Turnout for No Kings #1 was about 2000. There were definitely more today, say 3000?
My niece is from Portland, OR, so she had to wear an inflatable for solidarity!

Wildfires aren't just a distant problem—the smoke directly threatens our kids' lungs across the USA. 😥 New data shows wildfire carbon emissions are soaring, a direct result of the climate crisis. We MUST fight for clean air & action on climate now!

Honestly still reeling that SCOTUS is going to claim racial discrimination in voting is ok only when that discrimination aligns with partisan power grabs. That doesn’t make it better you Jim Crow freaks.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.
A little boy holds a handmade sign with hearts glued to it. It reads, “leave my friends ALONE Donald Trump”. He’s bravely protesting at the No Kings Evanston protest.

Details on bodycams for Chicago-area immigration agents will be discussed Monday
It is utterly ridiculous for ICE to claim they don't have the money for body cameras! They have an insanely huge budget! I call BS. DOJ attorneys are constantly obfuscating!
Live updates: Senate Democrats are ready to reject government funding bill again over health care
Senate Democrats are poised to again reject a stopgap spending bill that would reopen the government, insisting they won’t back away from demands that Congress take up health care benefits.
