Even as we fight and try to stay positive, it's critical that we prepare for the worst. We don't have time for head-in-the-sand optimism.

Here are things that are already a reality, things they're attempting to do, and some crucial steps everyone must take NOW:

That's TWO reasons they want the shutdown.
The other is that Grijalva will be the last vote needed to have a vote on releasing the #EpsteinFiles.

If you are approached by federal agents: invoke your 5th Amendment right to remain silent, and your 6th Amendment right to counsel, by saying “I cannot answer any questions without my lawyer."

Guess who signed this bill!!

The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act clearly requires that furloughed federal employees receive back pay after a shutdown. This wasn’t partisan when it passed, and it shouldn’t be a question now. Trump is spinning further out of control by the day. (1/2)

Shown Here:
Public Law No: 116-1 (01/16/2019)
Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019
This bill requires employees of the federal government or a District of Columbia public employer who are furloughed or required to work during a lapse in appropriations beginning on or after December 22, 2018, to be compensated for the period of the lapse. The employees must be compensated on the earliest date possible after the lapse ends, regardless of scheduled pay dates. Employees required to work during the lapse in appropriations may use leave.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

Trump's federal agents are terrorizing communities across America, but leaders like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are fighting back.

Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johns speaking with text: We will not tolerate ICE agents violating our residents' constitutional rights nor will we allow the federal government to disregard our local authority. ICE agents are detaining elected officials, tear-gassing protestors, children, and Chicago police officers, and abusing Chicago residents.
We will not stand for that in our city."

Except that if they "open" the gvt, they'd have to swear in #Grijalva, which would then put a vote to #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles on the floor.

If that happens, and they release the files, Rs may just use that as cover to finally walk away from the pedo.

Trump would rather shut down the government than work with Democrats.

His budget serves the 1%, not the rest of America.

If I was forced to find a silver lining, it's that their escalation of violence reflects their own desperation.

How to spot if a video is AI.
(I think people releasing these fake "viral" videos are using US to see where they need improving to completely fool us)
