TRUMP MUGSHOT JUST DROPPED #TrumpMugshot

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨🚨🚨Holy shit: A mom stood up at her school board meeting and delivered an AMAZING speech expressing frustration that conservative extremists were interfering with her child’s education.

Adrienne Martin of Granbury, Texas, boldly confronted the school board and held nothing back:

Here is what Adrienne Martin told her school board: 👇

"I do not want random people with no education background or experience determining what books my child can read, what curriculum they learn, and what clubs they can join. 
Just because you can get up at every meeting and rant and rave does not give you authority over my child's education. 

Your personal religious beliefs- people in this room and on this board- should not be affecting my child's education either. Our schools are not to be used for personal political agendas.

And our children are here for education, not religious indoctrination.  

I implore the board to put an end to trying to appease these extremists. Focus on retaining staff, providing excellent public education, and a safe and welcoming learning space for all students. 

The speakers speaking about what great Christians they are... Great! Go tell your pastor. Our schools are not your church. 

Thank you." 

🔥🔥🔥

Thank you to this BRAVE mom for speaking out!

Breaking News: After the Supreme Court limited affirmative action, a group filed a complaint demanding the federal government end Harvard’s special treatment for children of alumni and donors, arguing fairness was even more imperative since the ruling. https://t.co/7ZlkNOfQDB

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump has just been ARRAIGNED in Miami and has been OFFICIALLY charged with 37 felony counts relating to his mishandling of classified documents.

I’ll update you every step of the way 👇

Right now, Trump has SURRENDERED to U.S. marshals at the federal courthouse in downtown Miami, where he will be booked and processed.

As part of the process, Trump will be fingerprinted. He’ll then be taken to a courtroom to appear in front of the judge.

Significantly, a DNA swab is expected to be collected, which would be put in a federal database. An official familiar with the situation said Trump will not have his mugshot taken and instead his official portrait will be used.

Trump is not expected to be handcuffed, since he is not under arrest.

Secret Service agents will accompany Trump during the entire process.

The historic appearance marks the first time a former president has been indicted on federal criminal charges.

One thing is certain: Donald Trump is a disgrace to our country.

In Chandler, Arizona, Doug is a loyal customer at Arby's restaurant. Actually, he's the most loyal customer they have there. Doug is a 97-year-old World War II veteran, and has long loved the famous roast beef sandwiches on which the chain has built its reputation.

Doug comes in every single day to enjoy a meal with his favorite sandwich. He almost always orders a Swiss cheese filled roast beef slider and a Coke with no ice. All the staff members there have memorized that as his “usual.” After quite a while, one of the employees, Travis Coye, wanted to know more about this elderly man, and why he had such a fascination with the food they serve there. So he asked him why he keeps coming there; why that location?

Doug replied, saying: “This is the only place I can get a sandwich or get anything else to eat that doesn’t hurt my stomach.” Actually, it may be closer to the truth that he likes the sandwich so much that he stopped looking for alternatives. Doug lives in a nearby retirement home, but always makes sure to get his daily meal at Arby's. And he has his own favorite table where he enjoys it. The staff there treats him as much like family as possible and staff members go out of their way to make him comfortable. Says the manager there, Christina Gamage: “He comes in with a walker, as soon as we see him come to the doors, we try [to] grab the doors for him. He’s gone through a lot being a veteran, coming in, being in a retirement home, but he doesn’t have family.” Doug is such a loyal customer and really good guy that one day the staff pitched in and got him a $200 gift card. He thought at first they were joking, but it was definitely real, and Doug told them: “Thank you. I never know if I’ll be here the next day, but thank you so much for this.” But what might be even more important than that... at least, more meaningful... is that many of the staffers gave Doug their phone numbers in case he needed anything. And they all offered to bring him his favorite meal to the retirement home in case he could not make it there.

Then, after Doug's story made national news, Arby's gave him another gift... free food for the rest of his life. Now he never has to worry about where his next meal is coming from, giving him more time to make more friendship.

SHE IS A KEEPER!

It happened at a New York Airport. This is hilarious. I wish I had the guts of this girl. An award should go to the gate agent in New York for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably
deserved to fly as cargo. For all of you out there who have had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for you.

A crowded flight was canceled. A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.

Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."

The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first; and then I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."

The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that
the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically,
the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!"

Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir,
you'll have to get in line for that, too."

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

#elonmusk in a recent #billmaher interview said that free speech is important … and those who censor will have it come back on them.
well, @RonDeSantis is censoring and banning books for students trying to learn about all there is to life!
great job standing by your principles!
