A budget is a moral document.

Jacobs: The Trump administration doesn’t give a shit about the Iranian people… They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.

He doesn’t care about human rights anywhere — not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.

In SF, there is likely a city ordinance against that sort of thing.

Anybody know if this is verified?

And there IS support here. I know it. People like YOU!

Hello there!!!

Over & over again, Sen Dems asked Joint Chiefs nominee Dan Caine if he would push back on Trump if he tried to politicize the military, as his predecessors had to do. He assured Senators he would. Where is Caine now? In hiding? Witness protection? What is he doing about this?

Unsurprisingly, Rs are releasing montage videos that combine Dems calling for protests with footage of WayMos burning = ie, THIS is what they called for.

But we're about to have a ton of peaceful protests that clarify what Dems are calling for.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing LOS ANGELES—Responding to escalating clashes between civilian activists and militarized immigration authorities, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass publicly urged protesters Monday not to give the Trump adm...

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

Terry Moran is right. I think there are many of us teaching that boiling point. I’m tired of it.

BREAKING

ABC News has suspended Terry Moran for this now deleted tweet.

This morning the White House Press Secretary said she asked ABC News for accountability.

A reminder that ABC and George Stephanoupolus paid a multi-million dollar settlement to Trump.

Yet if the movement is leaderless and anarchic, it isn't chaotic. It has guiding principles that allow participants to self- regulate even as the movement constantly reinvents itself. Among those principles is ("do not split"). Protesters use the expression to say that no one in the movement should condemn or obstruct the actions of fellow protesters they disagree with. People who oppose a given action should sit it out, but not try to prevent it.

The use of force, in particular, is a divisive issue. Some insist on the necessity of keeping the protests peaceful, so that they will seem morally legitimate and may gain sympathy from the broader public. Others — especially younger protesters or protesters who consider that the lengthy sit-ins of the Umbrella Movement failed — believe that some measure of force has become necessary; otherwise, the government will simply ignore them. The “do not split” idea acts as a bridge between these two factions by promoting mutual respect for diverging views within the protest movement.

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

Text reading: I had to come down to Los Angeles for Work and ended up trying to help with the raid last night. As a Bernie usefully. Waited by the entrance for detainees We were repeatedly denied access of any kind, and eventually LAPD force removed attorneys ice. Also tear gassed a baby under age two. Today they told us to come back at eight to see the clients, but they ever refused entry to us as well as politicians, including Jimmy, Gomez, and right now. They’re releasing some kind of gas, so the Attorneys can’t breathe

Text reading: Post it so everyone knows. When we were trying to chant their rights ice honked so no one could hear.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

If your eyes are exposed to tear gas or pepper spray, etc. – Flush *immediately* with water, water, and more water (Don't use milk). When in doubt, use more water.

Keep it up LOS ANGELES!

Cops forming a line to push back protestors from the federal building

Cops are struggling to push back the line of hundreds of protestors again. There are orders of magnitude fewer cops than protestors at this point, and the protestors can easily push back if they choose to.

hundreds of. protestors approaching federal building with ice

Back to the federal building, the protestors have exploded in numbers and are approaching the building again

This is WAY BIGGER than any previous protest. The national guard is instigating far LARGER of a response and the feds are LOSING.

cop cars driving out of the crowd

The cop cars were pushed out and have left the crowd of protestors.

There are millions more of us than there are of them. Never forget that.

LA is successfully fending off cops despite tons of feds and now national guard troops.

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

@sinnathan.bsky.social it’s Holly. Hi!

I did.

Nah. It’s just not funny.

Oh stop.

Important to note: this clinic specializes in LGBTQ surrogacy.

That’s why you’re still here.

They're delusional and the hypocrisy is OFF THE CHARTS.

But, "hang Mike Pence" gets a pardon...

Let’s not forget the 86 46 shirts Trump was selling or all the calls from different right wing pols and pundits to 86 different people. It’s just the same shit different day. They don’t care they just want to make waves.
