🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

Trump hints that he's going to give Andy Ngo, Pizzagate Jack, and others at the antifa roundtable the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

"You have been amazing, you have been brave. You are real patriots. At some point, we will look into rewarding you with very important medals and honors."

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

True! You could deal with this in two ways: either reserve a little of the unboiled piss from our diabetic with a yeast infection to add back in after OR just use a beer yeast as I originally suggested.

Important farm labor update: Trump DOL is now planning to massively expand the H2A program.

Their logic? "Gee, all the farm workers are gone now. It's causing a food crisis. We just HAVE to run a crash-expansion of our slavery-prone H2A program."

If that's the case (in my defense the SG measurement was actually taken from one of the papers I cited) you could simply boil the piss to concentrate the sugars

Your periodic reminder that "biological sex" is a propaganda term spread by anti-trans groups, largely pushed by Christian Nationalists orgs like Alliance Defending Freedom; Family Resource Council & Family Policy Alliance; and the Heritage Foundation.

The text from a tweet from @Lauren_N_Rod shows a photo with a description that reads A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

y'all ftr bills passed in california become law as long as they are not vetoed, not only if they are signed. obviously it is good to have the support that signing conveys, so you absolutely can still ask him to sign the other bills, but for enactment we just need him not to veto them.

combating homelessness by evicting people is some real escalate-to-deescalate-ass shit.

"damn you know what would really help me recover from this spiral of chaotic use? losing my housing." many people are saying this

“It’s time to listen to our recovery community. Overwhelmingly, they share my conviction that no one exiting homelessness should need to choose between their recovery and a home that continually endangers it,” said coauthor Mandelman in a statement. This legislation will add desperately needed new choices that every unhoused San Franciscan deserves: drug-free or recovery-oriented supportive housing if that’s what the resident wants. I’m grateful to Supervisor Dorsey and recovery community members from all across San Francisco for their leadership and advocacy on this worthy legislation.”

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline:

AB 82/SB 497
AB 1084/SB 59
SB 418
AB 554
AB 728
AB 678
SB 590
SB 450

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!
