If Trump was the most transparent POTUS in US history as Pam Bondi claims, he wouldn't have thrown out the practice of WH visitor logs

He would have released his tax returns & Melania's immigration records

He'd put his business holdings in a blind trust

AND he would #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

You kjow you're in trouble when your chief lawyer can't get her stories straight and won't answer "No!" when she's faced with damning yes or no questions

Trump wants civil unrest. He wants anarchy. He wants everyone to overreact. Then he’ll claim the country is too unstable to hold elections and declare Marshall Law. It’s disorder as an excuse to hold power. Don’t fall for it. Participate in protest, record everything going on, and spread the word.

Trump, stop trying to manufacture trouble so you can claim we need saving.

Hey, JD, here is the problem. NOT the immigrants

I'm an ER doctor. JD Vance's claims about immigrants and wait times are utterly wrong.

Emergency medicine has a moral and legal commitment: treat anyone, anywhere, anytime.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Sit ins are not violent insurrection. Disagreeing with the administration is our right.

I think many members of Congress should read the "First they came for..." poem because right now some smugly feel only others will suffer from the military invocation. All expressions of dissent, no matter how small, will be a target of this administration.

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

You are my hero!

You see the peril in our country.

You know democracy is in danger.

You post about it daily.

The good news is that YOU can save us, and volunteering for elections is the most effective use of your time—far more effective than posting.

And Prop 50 is the most important race rn. 🧵

Cities aren't burning.
ICE isn't being attacked with hand to hand combat.
ICE is sending pepper spray, tear gas and rubber bullets to make it look bad for Foxx.
We are not scared. We do not want the military in our states.
And we have the right to say that without being declared terrorists

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
