#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.

Making dinner for my family. Reading. Helping one of my kids with school stuff. Enjoying a gripping story told through a video game.

I’m thankful you’ve shared this. My own ace teen kid has been out to us for years and in public for a bit shorter time. FWIW I think of you as a really talented author.

That’s exactly right. Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Wealth tax them out of existence.

Tax stock buybacks. Increase capital gains tax rates above $50k. These people have been allowed to feel like lords of creation for so long that they believe it

I’m sure he and his allies totally did not short the market before announcing a bunch of tariffs to cause the market to collapse

This is a choice made by rich people who don‘t live paycheck to paycheck that’s inflicted upon people who do.

This is a choice to intentionally fire public servants, many of whom live and work here in Virginia, from an administration that just wanted the pretext to do it anyway.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about.

Also, this isn’t legal.

One of several journalists who have been arrested and/or roughed up by ICE. I have not heard a peep from the Committee to Protect Journalists (Lester Holt is a board member). I would like to know what this organization is actively doing to protect journalists for doing their job right now?
