I’m going to stand on my overpass with my giant upside down flag.
I’m going to stand in between vulnerable people in my community and ICE.
And if I’m shot in the face it will be because ICE did that. Not because I asked for it.

Mike Johnson always falsely states proposals he wants to bat down. No one has proposed that ICE agents wear their addresses. The proposal is that dress and act exactly as they did from the founding of the agency until Stephen Miller decided to give it a makeover

Mallory McMorrow is a tiger. Just what we need. But yes, primaries are good!
PRIMARIES
ARE
GOOD
They test the candidates and show who has skills and appeal.
So what's to worry about in Michigan? Nothing.
And note that only 1 anonymous person is quoted in this article expressing worry over the fact that they're having a spirited primary.

Proposed new cabinet-level agency for a future administration: Department of Tacky Autocratic Cult Objects Removal
New at @washingtonpost.com:
Trump wants to build a *250-ft-tall arch*, for America’s 250th anniversary
The structure would tower over nearby memorials — changing DC’s skyline and blocking views of the Lincoln Memorial
It’s also spooking experts who say it’s just too big

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.
They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

The Trump regime has declared the American people to be their enemy. They know the creation of a dictatorship requires unreasonable uses of force. That's why they tear-gassed a crowd, including children, in Portland today.
