Just 8 months in, and already:
American cities have been turned into police states,
Gestapo-esque gangs of masked thugs are kidnapping innocent people,
our thriving economy has been intentionally sabotaged,
our global standing in the world has plummeted...

Hundreds of D.C. residents ran federal forces out of the Columbia Heights neighborhood, yelling, “ICE GO HOME.”

This is how you do it.

This is people power.

This is resistance.

The Trump regime will lose because—across this country—we the people reject their fascist vision for our nation.

UnitedHealthcare is raising premiums for policyholders in New York and Washington after spending $9B on stock buybacks last year.

A company that manages sales for popular retailers across Amazon said sales on the first day of Prime Day were down 41% compared to last year.

Let’s keep this #BetterThanAmazon boycott challenge going!
We are honoring #AmazonCrimeDay by supporting a movement to boycott it.

Amazon’s profits are built on worker injuries, union busting, and surveillance—and we’re done rewarding their exploitation.

We are #BetterThanAmazon. Let’s stand up to the monopoly and its billionaire founder by stepping away.

DHS appears to accidentally confirm CNN's reporting in an unhinged reply to MeidasTouch on X, noting that "by Tuesday, FEMA had deployed" staffers.

This aligns with CNN's reporting that Noem didn't authorize FEMA's deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday.

This is perfect.
America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
