So sad that our society has devolved into such fake influencers and reality tv people. Difficult to find a genuine smile anywhere in this grifter universe.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Yeah, thanks, that’s good advice if you’re going to a specific protest at an ICE facility.

Most of the #NoKings protests will be in more general and open areas across the country.
We hope the feds won’t behave as badly at these protests.

And you don’t need a sign if you can’t get that done. Just go out and be with your neighbors and celebrate that we keep our freedom of speech by exercising it. Peacefully.

The joy and love is contagious at these protests. The perfect antidote to the fear ICE and Mr T try to spread.

Yeah, it helps to get out for a walk now and then, if you have a safe neighborhood. Then even if you don’t know names, you can smile and say hello while passing by.
And if some emergency happens, then neighbors won’t feel too afraid to help each other. 🩵💜🩵

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Portland Mayor Wilson says he's interested in taking over the lease of the city's privtely-owned ICE facility -- a suggestion that came from DHS. (And he rejects feds' ask for "free speech zones" where ppl can be penalized for protesting outside of.)

Yeah, many Americans don’t know their neighbors either. But they’re so concerned about this situation today that they’re reaching out, stepping up to take a stand.

You’re right- it’s inspiring. And simple- Love Your Neighbor.
