What I can’t get over is how low level they where - rounding errors really- and it had a life changing effect on millions. All this misery is on purpose

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BRING HIM HOME!

Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador.

SMART General President…

Yes! Bringing community together in collective care is the answer. “Such response projects can channel rage and fear into disciplined, concrete action, linking movements and bringing new individuals into them. Rather than sidestep politics, it can make politics happen.”

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Thank you, Wisconsin! Thank you, Susan Crawford!

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps

block the path

YES! 1000x yes. And we need philanthropy to invest in 20 - 30 year initiatives to do it. Which is what the other side has done.

We’re creating a list of deals and special offers for District residents impacted by the recent federal layoffs — from discounted drinks to free headshots and career coaching. Help us build this community resource by adding to the list, here: airtable.com/appl7lWf605d...

It’s semantics. “Politician” is defined as a person who is professionally involved in politics. “Representative” highlights first what a person elected by the people is primarily charged to do. A good reminder to all.

I’d rather use the term representative over politician. Politician = profession. To get to the heart of why they are in the position they are in - they are *representatives* of the people from their district.

Same. I guess call out Congress reps everyday. IDK what we’d do.

I just did this. It took 5 minutes. If you want protection against DOGE fucking with your data, do this now.

"coffee is only good when it is served in jim crow conditions"

YES! I think about this far too often, lol.

Thank you. I am doing great now (except a real concern for our country), parents never really recovered. I appreciate this conversation. I hope you are doing well. Please take care.

Political leaders’ policies from both parties are the reason we are losing a middle class. Why we have to organize go fund me’s to get a needed surgery. Why we have no right to paid leave to take care of ourselves and our families. That is what I am sick of.

I hadn’t but TY for the info. I hope he helps WNC + cont to do so. It’s gonna take yrs. My parents were factory wrkrs in the 80’s. Lost their jobs when factory moved overseas. Lost home by my sn yr. Social justice is for ppl like them too. Tired of working hard, rug constantly pulled out from under.

If u are curious about my post, please engage w me as if we were face-to-face, like you would a neighbor. I hope we (universal we) can start mending fissures by doing so.

My main pt was, there is no political party we can count on so we gonna have to do it ourselves. + social justice = everyone.

How is this not a #TTPD connection? Lol. #swiftie #TaylorSwift

Headed out from #NC. Venturing to a diff Southern state to connect w other #SocialJustice organizers. Together, we’re building unity & crafting powerful strategies to drive change across the South. #JusticeInAction

We’re organized.
We’re creative.
We’re strategic.
We’re our hope.
We are ready.

Ah! That’d be really nice ❤️

I’m so nervous! I need the Chiefs to win so we see Taylor run on the field and grab her man.

I want to see Jason hugging Travis on the field.

I cannot help it.

I need it running in my veins after this horrific week.

Love, wholesome love.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

I feel the same. This platform is the most popular of the federated networks but the climate here is anxiety-producing. We have so much hurt coming our way. If we can’t find ways to seek and share joy, this era will steal even more from us.

My nine-year-old making normal conversation at our Mother’s Day dinner tonight: My friends and I have made a plan in case there is ever an active shooter at our school…”

Happy Mother’s Day, America.

I wanted to follow on Bluesky people I follow on Twitter but it was tedious to do manually. So I made a tool to help with the process :)

You can use it here: https://gggdomi.github.io/follow-the-sky/

I think I’m gonna like it here.
