People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Before parroting Israel’s talking points on Iran, know this: 🚨 Israel bombed Iran first 🚨 Iran hasn’t invaded another country in over 200 years 🚨 It signed the nuclear deal—Israel opposed it 🚨 U.S./Israel backed Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war 🚨 Israel has nukes, Iran doesn’t

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.
