Donald Trump just said a "whole civilization will die tonight," making it abundantly clear that his goal is to wipe out Iran in full.

Even MTG wants the 25th invoked!!
Every single word.
Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.
I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.
The babies who were conceived during the famine and whose mothers were undernourished while their brains were being built—those brains were smaller. When those people were adults, their brains were wired in a different way.
Some folks just need to be defenestrated.

LAST NIGHT AT UCLA -
On the one year anniversary of the violent encampment raid, UCLA admin called in riot police to break up students watching The Encampments documentary on campus.
These schools are at war with their students. Movies are illegal.
Happy May Day! Today I celebrate the lush green and blooms of this season, the ability to grow food for my family, and the powerful history of unions fighting for workers’ rights. Fight ON!

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.
Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

A LOT of people do not want to hear it but in the United States at least, food has never been safer to eat, not to mention tastier
"We can't ever let this happen again." I mean that with every fiber of my being. Democracy is not self-sustaining. It needs defenders. It needs truth-tellers. It needs people who will stand up — and stay standing — even when it’s hard, even when it's dangerous."

Republicans in Congress want to make it more expensive for kids from working-class families to go to college and easier for schools to scam student loan borrowers — all to pay for tax handouts for the wealthiest Americans.
That's the GOP agenda: billionaires win, families lose.
Why are we helping them rip the rest of us off? Why are we helping them walk all over us?
No billionaire earned their money by themselves. They made it standing on the backs of the rest of us. There is no such thing as pulling yourself up all on your lonesome by your own bootstraps. All these people got help.
I want a world where we recognize and fight against manipulation that serves the power-hungry, and we put them in their place—level with the rest of us.
I want a world where we create the conditions that support all people to be sovereigns over themselves, the freedom to live into their values, to learn and explore, to achieve their highest potential.
It is in fact what gives us our very freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. Freedom is an inexhaustible resource. One person’s freedom does not threaten mine. In fact, when you and all my neighbors are free, I am more free.
The real enemy are the tyrant, the authoritarian and the oligarch who are manipulating all of us in order to concentrate power in their hands, a government that provides social safety nets for all of its people is not a wasteful, fraudulent government.
We all need to wake up and reclaim ourselves. Our ethnic heritage, our real culture and our values, and see that the enemy is not people who are different from us—people of color, indigenous people, People in prison, poor people, the unhoused…
Social programs that actually benefit us and have benefited our ancestors are now seen by white people as waste fraud and abuse because they’ve been linked to racist ideas. Racism is real but it was created to serve and distract from class inequality.
From there it was easy to manipulate White people to see government, social safety nets, criminal justice, economic justice, as programs only needed by these “lazy”, “criminal” others and not by us (white folks).
White people have been taught to see Africans, Indigenous people, people of color du jour (who is in and who is out has changed a bit, depending on the times) as lazy and criminal.
The wealthy and powerful few realized they could increase their wealth and power by pitting groups of people against each other and thereby distracting us from the real project at hand.
Racist ideas were created by the powerful and wealthy to hold onto their power and wealth.
Books like Ibram X Kendi’s Stamped from the Beginning & Timothy Snyder’s On Freedom are giving me the framework to understand what we are experiencing in this country right now and why it is so imperative that we each take action every day. There is no room to wait it out. Not if we want to be free.
