In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I have a daughter in her first year of a MSW program. She’s often told me I’m too political.
She’s triggered now. It’s not lost on her that, for the most part, these are degrees primarily pursued by women.
Republicans might have regrets about this decision.

Trump spit misogyny at a reporter — the same day the House voted to expose the predators he’s protecting.

Congratulations to Calvin Duncan. His persistance and ethics won the day after decades. Mr. Duncan spent his years in prison helping other prisoners with legal issues. His book was published last July: The Jailhouse Lawyer

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

McDonald's should sue Trump for promulgating the impression that too many of their cheeseburgers causes dementia.
I can usually translate him, but either I’m losing my mind, or he is.

McDonald's should sue Trump for promulgating the impression that too many of their cheeseburgers causes dementia.
He's always been a disgusting, ignorant corrupt person, but his spiraling mental state has made him even worse. He's just out of control.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

We can all be doing this. We can all be forming community groups. We can all learn how to protect each other. This regime wants to tear us apart and crush our shared values. We won’t let them. We will build while they break, and soon enough, we’ll be so organized, they won’t be able to stop us.
