Gavin Newsom just announced that California will be the first state to join the World Health Organization.
This is in direct defiance of Donald Trump, who just pulled the United States out of the organization.

Before ICE, I never realized how much of "keeping the public safe" involved wrecking cars.
ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.

UNREAL: Per NY Times amazing reporting today they found "Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view." We live in a 3rd world sh*thole! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion
