How did the poor guy mowing your lawn every two weeks become the biggest national security threat, rather than a Defense Secretary posting war plans on Signal?

My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate.

But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

Fuck you Donald Trump. I have a constitutional right to protest your stupid Kim Jong Un parade. I dare you to use the military to try to stop my First Amendment rights. You ignorant coward.
Trump says anybody who protests the military parade on Sunday will be met with “very heavy force”

ICE is evil
A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives.

Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women.

Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent.

@deldeib.bsky.social‬'s story from 2022:
“God, No, Not Another Case.” COVID-Related Stillbirths Didn’t Have to Happen.
A lack of testing data and government guidance led many to avoid the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy, unwittingly increasing their chances of a stillbirth.

Virtually all of this is good advice to anyone, citizen or noncitizen, on how to deal with law enforcement.
ICE officers were in unmarked vans on community college campuses in Northern Virginia today.

They were reportedly knocking on doors of apartments off Rt 1 starting at 6am

You have rights. You do NOT need to open the door without proof of a warrant.

ACLU provided guidance, pls share. 👇
