Basically everything we were called crazy for in 2017 is gonna end up becoming common knowledge. Epstein, trafficking, Putin pulling the strings… all of it.

The same person telling us we can't address diversity, equity, and inclusion - and who orders removed signage that truthfully discusses how the first US president was an enslaver - that same guy unapologetically uses his megaphone to spread the most vile racist crap.

I hope he's wearing a bullet proof vest - cause those are some serious zingers and ICE has thin skin.

In this week's edition of: "I didn't know one could protest in so many ways:"
More than 60 Drummers 🥁 coordinated throughout downtown Minneapolis to play on different street corners and share a unified message that they want ICE out of their city. 🪘🙌🏻
I love their laugh at the end. 😍
