I saw an article that stated the #LosAngeles protests are growing. I found articles from Newsweek, Oregonian, Seattle Times, Boston Globe etc, all stating that these immigration protests are growing.
TACO is out of his element.

WTF? Why are federal law enforcement agencies terrorizing American citizens with weapons of war?
Impeach trump, Vance, Bondi, Noem, Homan, and Rubio. Fire miller, Patel, and Bognino.
Social Security & Medicare are systems where workers & employers both contribute to fund future benefits for retirement, disability, & other needs of the employee.
If Elon & Trump gut Social Security & Medicare we need our $ back!
In response to the Trump-Zelensky Oval Office meeting, there are hundreds of comments on Naver (biggest South Korean web portal) expressing concerns that something similar could happen to South Korea & calling for preparations including nuclear armament.
saving this image for the next time I have to explain to a naive writer who's read far too many old fantasy novels uncritically why they probably (i.e. *really*) don't want to be using the word "swarthy" the way they're somehow still using it in this year of our lord 2025
Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect
Him to be strong.
Trump would have fled where Zelensky stayed and fought.
Trump is the worst negotiator
For my Blackout Day activity I am staying off of the Meta platforms with a compiled list of posts to make tomorrow. I went to an announced protest in Ukiah, but nobody else showed up. I filled my tank last night at a native reservation gas station. What did you do?

There are opportunities in Syria for the US to play a constructive role, but this will require diplomatic & economic investments. While there is no guarantee of success, a failure to try will likely doom Syria to a dark future.
Israel and the US seem determined to wreck Syria’s promising post-Asad transition. Please stop. My new piece looks at devastating effects of Israeli attacks and US sanctions and aid cuts.

It's better organized than I thought. If you are close to a State capital this is a good opportunity to voice your opposition to Elon Musk's coup and to the horror that is Trump's administration.

The legal framework holding these United States together is the constitution, ratified by each of the several states. Some ratified it when it was written and signed by their representatives, others in the process of becoming a state. 1/3
The constitution is a contract entered into by the states with each other. In a contractual relationship if one party abrogates the contract then the obligations of the other parties to that party become null and void. 2/3
Under the GOP control of all three branches of our government they are violating that contract. At some point that abrogation releases the states from the contract. I don't think we've reached that point yet, but I can see it approaching. 3/3
SENDING AMERICANS OFF TO EL SALVADORIAN PRISONS?!? Not a joke.
The U.S. outsourcing incarceration to El Salvador? This is horrifying. We cannot let this happen.
