It’s a beautiful day to stand for democracy. We are handing out signs and talking about our campaign to protect public education, protect rural healthcare, and improve the lives of everyday citizens.
Thank you so much to our volunteers who made sure our presence was noted at the Knob Noster Fair and in the parade! We were able to get several volunteers, and more importantly, register voters!
Stay tuned for more updates!
The Pentagon is desperate to hide the actual toll of Donald Trump’s Iran War. 30 American service members are sitting in hospital beds right now following the Iranian drone attack in Kuwait. The real cost is devastating—and they don't want you to see it.
@MissyIsMaga@RealJamesWoods Democrats stand for the constitution (in it’s entirety), healthcare for all, safe and affordable housing, fair wages, access to education, accessibility, civil rights and equality for all regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or otherwise.
Puerto Rico is an American territory. Bad Bunny is an American citizen. And English wasn’t the official language of the USA until Trump’s second term.
If these three facts make you upset, maybe the facts aren’t the problem.
“I don’t understand why the halftime show this year had to be so political”
A friendly reminder that from TPUSA’s website, they want to promote “limited government.” Their own website for their organization IS political.
Y’all are the ones making it weird.
Tonight at Walmart, I watched a 5 year old boy ask a little girl if he could hug her because he liked her sweater.
She said, "No."
He smiled, "Okay! I like your sweater. Bye!" and ran back to his dad.
To his dad, he proudly said:
"I didn't hug her because she said no... but I told her I liked her sweater!"
His dad replied, "Cool, buddy!"
'...and they
went on shopping.
If a 5-year-old boy can understand consent and respect a "No," then so can every adult.
Thank you to Brenna Perez for giving the single clearest, smartest breakdown of the murder of Renee Nicole Good.
This is clearly murder. Period.
But as we’ve said for a generation, in America an officer just has to say “I feared for my life” to get away with murder.
I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.
It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.
ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.
Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.
I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.
