Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.
i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.
Remarkable.
MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
Imagine being so unAmerican that you are anti-protest. Red hats = red coats.
Los Angeles. Just wow.
Philly showin' up today
The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop over reacting
There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand.
Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.
protesters surround federal detention center in Los Angeles
Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.
For the folks too dim to understand, the protests are because the president is acting like a wannabe king, not because he is an actual king. Ex: a military parade on his birthday a la Russia and North Korea, despite being a draft dodger and gouging benefits for veterans. Bless your hearts though.
Imagine being so unAmerican that you are anti-protest, and pro military parade for a draft dodger lmaooooo
Literally I can't afford to flee anywhere, but countries I'm considering ban American Bullies and I'm just like???? Do you mean my literal therapy dog who would nurse orphan kittens if he had working nipples???
....this is how someone replied when I called Trump a draft dodger lmao
Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity.

All of my other dogs were terrified of the Chair of Swarthy Men, but Pierogi was like "these are my dads now"

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941
"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.' -J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit, pub. 1937
I laugh at anyone who tries to bash WA, based on a cardinal rule: you can tell who someone is by how they treat animals. States send thousands of animals to WA per year - highest adoption rates, highest care for animals. Say whatever you want, but when it comes down to it, WA's better 🤷🏻♀️
-Get your updated vaccines NOW.
-Wear a mask.
-Keep updated where you can with scientists.
-Have a contact to be knowledgeable about the status of hospitals. They are being filled over capacity in some places. Would you know? Not anymore.
You can never have too many books or visit too many bookstores
Wait so when is New Mexico going to be renamed New America?
Fact: if you are against DEI, not only are you a bigot, but you also openly hate veterans and people with disabilities.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.
I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
