"I own nothing material but my good mattress" I say proudly, admiring my Sealy Posturepedic laid out on the forest floor.

"Sir, you still can't be naked in a national park," the officer replies.

"You are pigs defending the wealth-power dynamic!" I reply sagely as the handcuffs bite into my wrists.

Did you know that the Black Panther Party used to openly carry on patrols?

If they saw the cops pull a Black person over they would watch, armed, shouting advice.

It’s an interesting historical footnote.

It’s sickening to watch these videos and know my congressional reps won’t do anything about it.
NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…

Johnson won't talk about the Republican health care plan—not because it's secret, but because it doesn't exist.
Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

SLC has a program for apartments for the homeless and was working to build a tiny house community.

The state was always reticent to assist on the topic of the homeless, until the trump executive order and then man did they move fast to get this rolling.

The neighbors are rather pissed about it too
This looks like a concentration camp.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.
