blackoutthesystem.com to push for/help coordinate a general strike (there are stickers, to make it a bit more joyful).

Donate to your local food banks & meal providers, too, and consider combining protest efforts with food drives.

Now, now everyone! Give Mikey a break on this one. Hiding all of the Epstein files probably IS a pretty time consuming job!

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

On the bright side, at least our satirists aren’t using newspeak yet. I suspect the @wsj.com opinion editors have been practicing for some time now.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

I am sorry that you had to endure that. I will say what she couldn’t due to her illness: Thank you for taking care of her. Thank you for doing what was best for her and others. Thank you for doing the right thing even when it was so hard on you. You’re a good person.

CALIFORNIA: THE BIGGEST ECONOMY, THE BIGGEST TARGET.

The 4th largest economy in the world, bigger than the UK or India. Tech, film, food, energy — it drives the nation.

Trump hates that California proves progressive policies work. That diversity creates strength. That innovation beats grievance.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The man he threatened was a U.S. citizen — and a military veteran.
