Fuck Trump and everyone who voted for him. They're dismantling the US Forest Service.
The Forest Service has been an extraordinary public organization. The Trump administration is trying to dismantle it.

New Jersey has proposed the F.U.C.K.I.C.E Act. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...
On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.
What's that you say!
It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️
A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record:
“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
The words "Tell your Senators: Don't fund ICE's terror campaign" over a dark cloudy background.
The things we are seeing daily feel like a horror movie, but this is not fiction. It’s a new terrifying reality. Trump’s DHS mob are killing US citizens, taking kids from their schools & terrorizing hard working immigrants. We need you to DEMAND ACTION. act.seiu.org/a/do_not-fun...
The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
The entire Minneapolis City Council passed a resolution calling on Governor Tim Walz to impose an eviction moratorium during the ongoing ICE raids.

Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

Israel killed three Palestinian journalists in Gaza on Wednesday, including a freelance cameraman who contributed to CBS News. The network's president, Tom Cibrowski, let staff know at a meeting this morning, noting that Abdul Raouf Shaat had just been married. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...
People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.
So many people over decades have been called conspiracy theorists for suggesting that U.S. intervention is driven by capitalist interests, and the interests of the oil industry in particular. Now the president just says it outright in press conferences and interviews.
