80% of young Americans want "major changes" or "complete reform" to our political system.
If we want to mobilize more young people for democracy, we should mobilize them against the political system and status quo.
Glad to see the Target Boycott is trending. We’re urging our members, & our communities to shop local, not Target for Back to School. Target has not supported Minnesota,the place they got their start, so we are shopping elsewhere

Exactly 💯
Is it any wonder?
I have always been a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age, same height, share the same values, but she can sing better. And she has more Grammys. I've always wanted to meet her!
This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥

What does your state supreme court do, and why does it matter? Are its members even elected? We break down everything you've wanted to know about these powerful institutions in ten questions:
Example: a friend is a white contractor / laborer. His convos at work are unlike anything in his working life. They start with complaints about gas, gravel, food, but move to Iran, chaos, and sense that Pres is a fraud. MAGA supporters are silent, while less ideological people complain bitterly.
Impeach him now
The vibes out here in the wild (small town KY) are very, very different.
We reviewed hundreds of pages of ICE death reports, autopsies, and other records from 32 deaths with a total of 14 doctors.
Doctors determined that at least 17 times, people died after medical staff delayed or failed to provide critical care that might have saved their lives
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Screenshot of sophiafornc from Threads: This is eleven year-old Genesis and six year-old Denis, two Durham elementary school students whose families came here to seek asylum. On Monday, they were detained by ICE and immediately sent back to Honduras without due process. Don't you dare tell me that this is making our country safer.
I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process.
Follow SiembraNC on IG or FB or @siembranc.bsky.social for next action steps.
I would like to uplift and remind all of us that people across the country are organizing against detention and are fighting the warehouse concentration camps. You can get connected to the work by joining a mass call on 4/14 - www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...
Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.
311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.
So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.
BREAKING: Another person has died in ICE custody, per required notification to Congress, marking 15 deaths in detention this year and 45+ since Trump took office again.
'This is not isolated activity. It is a coordinated theory of power: centralize control, discredit local administration, purge voter rolls, and narrow who gets to participate.'

Adelanto Processing Center. Headline reads “14th Death In ICE Custody This Year: Man Dies at Adelanto ICE Processing Center On Wednesday Night”
Text reads: A man died while in custody at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center on Wednesday night. L.A. TACO spoke with the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, which stated that detainees witnessing the incident made outbound calls to their rapid response hotline. The detainees stated that a man was showing symptoms of overheating and had difficulty breathing. According to ImmDef, the detainees said he had removed his shirt after feeling like he was suffocating, and alleged that the facility’s medical staff didn’t respond until after the man was unresponsive. The man was transported to a nearby hospital, and the family was told he passed away under their care. However, the detainees in the facility allege and maintain that he had already passed away at the facility in his bunk bed. According to We Keep Us Safe 1312, a local community watch team working with the family, the man was 52-years-old. This is a developing story.
14th death under ICE custody that we know of. We will update this story as soon as we get more details.
We reached out to ICE and DHS on Wednesday night and have received no response.
Fascism expert Tim Snyder on Why Mass Protests matter:
PROTEST CHANGES THE ATMOSPHERE For authoritarians to win, they need their supporters to be active, the majority to be silent, & their actions to seem normal. Protest shows their supporters are the minority, & the majority WILL NOT BE SILENT. 🧵
Arnoldo Bazan was getting breakfast with his dad at McDonald's when masked agents brutally attacked them. Arnoldo—who's only in tenth grade—was choked, demeaned, and even had to go to the hospital.
What happened to him and so many others is horrific, and it has to end.

Two bags of Peet’s coffee. The one on the left is bigger, and the bag says it contains 18oz of coffee. The one on the right is smaller, containing only 10.5 oz.
The bag on the left used to be an expensive treat at $11/18 oz bag. Now it’s 42% smaller and costs a whopping $14. Thanks, Obama!
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
An ADSBx map showing C104 flying from Florida to Watertown SD late last night.
Ugh. The brand-new Coast Guard jet Kristi Noem was using before she got fired flew down to Florida late Friday -- presumably for the "Shield of the Americas" announcement -- and then returned to Watertown, SD, late Saturday. So she's still using it!!
