Peaceful protest is a legitimate right, not a threat to be answered with violence and suppression. We stand with the people of Iran—and for human dignity and a future no longer built on fear and poverty. @eduinternational.bsky.social
California unveiled an online portal to report potentially illegal activity by federal law enforcement, including ICE agents, to the state Department of Justice.
This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.
In the past, they’ve done a similar thing - leak a tiny bit, bait Trump to deny it or try to explain it away, then release even more damning evidence that contradicts what he said and makes him even more ensnared. Happened with the classified signal chat.
Bring on the Progressives. Boot out the establishment.
I am so sick of them.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.
Agree with your overall point, but where do you get 5 pizzas for $5?
Shutdown Day 33: 900k federal workers furloughed. That’s nearly the population of Austin, TX without paychecks.
Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.
I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.
Is Kees open today?
ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own.
Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.
Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.
ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.
Demonstrators in NYC American Flags and sign "You only target journalists when your enemies are truth, reality and democracy"
The #NYC contingent of the

joined tens of thousands of their fellow New Yorkers at the #NoKings demonstration in support of the First Amendment - especially: freedom of assembly and a #PressFreedom.
This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings
When you equate opposing Trump with hating America, you're kinda making the whole point of the No Kings rally.

This is truly grotesque. Teachers should not be using this stuff. If a school was pushing it on teachers who work with kids I care about, I'd make a big effing stink until they stopped. We have to not give into this.
Let us try this.
It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.
Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.
The image is an X post by user Joshua Reed Eakle from 20 hours ago, stating: "The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this." The post includes a profile picture and a verified badge.
I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.
@Sec_Noem on X: Chicago, we’re here for you.
If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

“Cycling in the buff is a Portland specialty, and one organization has announced a naked ride ‘in response to the militarization of our city,’” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes. “Such is the war zone here.”

This is assault.
"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.
