After all the dust settles everyone who voted for trump should have to pay an increased income tax from 5-10% to help undo all the harm.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

When you understand that the Democratic party is
NOT a leftist party, but a right-wing capitalist party and the Republican party is a far-right neofascist party then you realize why every piece of legislation and bailout in Washington
DC ALWAYS puts corporations over people.

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it.

This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

The left hand of fascism cannot defeat the right. They have the same master.

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

The image is a meme divided into two sections with captions.

- The top section is labeled "Liberals when Palestinians die." It includes three images of people appearing indifferent or dismissive, with gestures like plugging their ears or laughing.

- The bottom section is labeled "Liberals when a Nazi dies." It shows a person crying, suggesting an emotional reaction.
