NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

If Californians stopped paying federal taxes, the federal government would lose roughly 12 to 16 percent of its total annual tax revenue — a devastating economic blow to the national budget.

Sounds like a good plan @governor.ca.gov grab Trump by the bucks!

When you show up to protest, stay safe & stay non-violent. It’s also important to retain your sense of humor. One thing fascists don’t have is a sense of humor. They are so angry & negative. So remember your joie de vivre in all you do. There’s a message included in this video from our leader 😳🤣
