Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

I know this is happening elsewhere too. In another major city, white neighbors are walking Latino kids to school so their parents won’t get taken. Because that has happened there. At the school, in front of kids.

We want their money, not their ideas. The exchange is you give us money, we give you prestige. And that’s it. You don’t get to manage how we spend your money, and we don’t get to tell you what to do with your prestige. 2/2

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Tonight in “war ravaged” Portland… a frog brigade standing guard outside the ICE facility.

Trump says there’s “nowhere worse than Portland”… and the frogs magically multiply.

They’re showing that he’s not only a liar, but Portland is still safe, still weird and still full of people resisting.
Three people in frog costumes stand outside the Portland ice facility at night. They’re holding a sign that says frog brigade
