A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Trump sent thousands of armed federal officers into our state, and it took just one day for them to kill someone.
Now he wants nothing more than to see chaos distract from that horrific action.
Don’t give him what he wants.

If you want a sense of how far the surveillance state has expanded inside the United States, look at what federal authorities are doing on our highways.

Excited and hopeful to be at #onemillionrising training. I hope this will be the leadership and organization I have been looking for! The house is on fire, and we need a response that the Dems aren’t providing.

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

The federal government is planning to rob the vast majority of us to provide tax breaks to corporations and billionaires. And to increase the debt while they do that. If you object to this, call and write your legislators. 1/2

Until this year, I had never been to a political protest. But the actions of this administration call for protest. For the arbitrary firing of experienced and valuable government employees. For the lack of due process as they kidnap people off the street and send them to foreign prisons. 1/3

RFK Jr fired ALL 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). He's doing this to replace them with anti-science hacks who will undoubtedly determine many vaccines are unnecessary or "unsafe". Frankly, it's the only reason to replace them all. 1/4
