Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.
No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed.
This is no joke.
Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...
thoughts on today:
1) the protests are good, actually
2) you should go to one of you can
3) it will do you good to see how many other people also hate this guy
4) you might meet people who you can organize with
5) there are more of us than there are of them
6) we are going to win
My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c....
I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism.
A few suggestions...
👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.
Casar holds a 3 minute and 26 second moment of silence to represent the time in which DHS officers let Renee Good bleed out after she was shot
i can't believe that after a decade of this bullshit the framing of all this trump authoritarian blather is still "omg what if he does this" and not "this is prohibited by 250 years of american history and also the constitution"
Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam
We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?
We had eradicated this disease.
And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.
As we continue to mourn the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, we also must lift the stories of the 32 people who died in ICE custody just last year.
In December, 6 people died in ICE’s custody — the deadliest month in the history of the agency.
It is shameful, and it must end.
AND YET…
Filming the police is not obstruction.
Filming the police is not resisting.
Refusing to stop filming police is not resisting.
Holding onto your phone is not resisting.
Federal agents under this admin have zero respect for rights and liberties.
Absolutely love seeing this protest hat as a the top pattern on Ravely right now

All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to the LynLake community of businesses who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

“Cant sleep… i’ll just have a quick look at my phone”
If Democrats aren’t whipping votes against ICE funding, and letting conservative members vote to pass it, it means the Democratic Party supports ICE funding.
If your opposition to fascism is performative, then you don’t actually oppose fascism.
If you’re a sitting member of Congress and not reacting to this speech by calling for immediate impeachment, removal and conviction, why are we paying you?
Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota
“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

People keep saying that AI is inevitable. Like Bartleby, I'd prefer not to... We "have to use it!" My response to that is simply... WHY? Why is it being pushed so much and into so many things? Once you've gotten people to cede their decision making to an algorithm, eventually they'll stop thinking for themselves. Why would I outsource thinking for myself to a machine? I have a brain.
"You have to use AI."
...why?
It's Angry Gato!! I painted thislil menace this week.
