Trump’s Tax Scam would give ICE a bigger budget than many militaries around the world.

You’ve probably seen the headlines:

Marines in L.A.

Protest crackdowns

Bombs falling in Iran

A political assassination plot in Minnesota

It’s overwhelming. But it’s also intentional.

The GOP is flooding the zone—burying truth under a tsunami of chaos. Here’s what they don’t want you to see: 🧵

So what do we do?
📞 Call your reps. Ask them to oppose this military overreach and reject the BBB.
📢 Speak up.
🗞️ Share accurate info.
🧭 Stay grounded in values, not baited by chaos. This moment is heavy — but it’s not hopeless.

Trump is pushing what he calls the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” — a sweeping, extremist proposal that would gut healthcare for millions and funnel money into immigration enforcement and military expansion. It’s not about safety. It’s about control.

If a president can deploy troops against a state’s will — not to restore peace, but to spark conflict — that’s not federalism. That’s theater. And our troops are being used as props.
June 11, 2025 at 10:52 AM
We shouldn’t have to agree on everything to agree this is wrong. This isn’t about left vs. right — it’s about preserving checks and balances. Like many legal professionals, I believe we can’t abandon broken systems — we have to fix them. And that starts with truth.

As someone who once hoped to be a journalist, I’ve been watching in dismay as mainstream media underreports what’s happening. Independent and international journalists are doing essential work right now. If you feel like the coverage isn’t telling the full story — you’re right.

California didn’t request troops. Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass made that crystal clear. But Trump federalized 2,000 National Guard members under Title 10, stripping California of control for the first time in 60 years. That’s not leadership — it’s authoritarianism.
June 11, 2025 at 10:51 AM
If you support our troops, support protecting them from being used as political pawns. The Posse Comitatus Act limits military involvement in domestic law enforcement for a reason. That line is being crossed — right now.
June 11, 2025 at 10:50 AM
Even LAPD and Mayor Bass confirm the protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful — many featuring music and cultural celebrations. Trump’s narrative of “riots and looters” is a calculated lie meant to stoke fear and provoke a crackdown.
June 11, 2025 at 10:50 AM
ICE is going on a rampage — arrests at graduations, check-ins, and even job sites like Home Depot. Their new daily quota? 3,000. Union leaders like David Huerta are being arrested for protesting. It’s not just immoral — it’s unconstitutional.
June 11, 2025 at 10:50 AM
The same people who denied the January 6th insurrection are now labeling LA’s peaceful protests an “insurrection” — because they need chaos to rationalize repression. Stephen Miller is openly calling to invoke the Insurrection Act against Americans. Let that sink in.
June 11, 2025 at 10:50 AM
We’re witnessing a dangerous escalation: tanks in DC for a parade, and in LA, federal agents using flash-bangs and rubber bullets against peaceful protesters. This isn’t about public safety. It’s a manufactured crisis to justify Trump’s hardline immigration agenda.
June 11, 2025 at 10:49 AM
I know a lot of us are running on fumes — I’m working overtime, sick, grieving, and still trying to show up for what matters. What’s happening in Los Angeles is one of those moments. It’s a constitutional alarm bell, and we need to pay attention.

Let’s be clear: unregulated AI = surveillance, bias, and unchecked power in the hands of corporations and billionaires. This is a national security issue. A civil rights issue. A democracy issue.
May 15, 2025 at 1:22 PM
States like NY and CA passed laws to regulate AI. Now Congress wants to take that power away. It’s like the federal gag order on gun violence research all over again.
May 15, 2025 at 1:22 PM
This might sound like sci-fi, but it’s real and it’s happening right now:

Congress is trying to ban states from regulating AI for the next 10 years. That’s housing decisions, hiring algorithms, public benefits—all off-limits to state lawmakers.
May 15, 2025 at 1:20 PM
Tell your reps to shut down unmarked ICE operations, fund legal support, and block local cooperation with ICE. These disappearances are un-American.

I wrote to Congress and Maryland leaders. You can too. Use your voice before fear becomes the norm.
May 9, 2025 at 11:43 AM
ICE’s tactics are ripe for abuse. How would you know you weren’t being trafficked? How would your family find you? Immigrants often don’t even get a phone call.
May 9, 2025 at 11:43 AM
Imagine walking down the street and being grabbed by strangers, tied up, and thrown into an unmarked van. No explanation. No badge. No idea if it’s ICE or a kidnapping.

That’s what ICE is doing to immigrants—with no oversight, no accountability, and no concern for the terror it creates.

If your rights aren’t under attack today, it’s only because someone else is being targeted first.

When your kids ask what you did—have an answer.

I know and love many trans people. They are some of the strongest, kindest, most principled people I’ve ever known. I will never stop standing with them.
May 7, 2025 at 11:44 AM
If our military can’t “handle” a trans person, how can we trust them to handle a war, a humanitarian crisis, or democracy itself?
May 7, 2025 at 11:44 AM
The Supreme Court just greenlit a military ban on trans people. Let’s be clear: this isn’t about readiness or cost. It’s about bigotry—and it’s terrifying.
May 7, 2025 at 11:44 AM
I’m proud that America has public media. Programs like Morning Edition, PBS NewsHour, and Tiny Desk are part of our civic fabric.

We need more investment in this kind of infrastructure—not less.
If our tax dollars are “for the people,” this is exactly where they belong.
