The forest is the system: Not the individual trees. Most people try to build resilience by making themselves bigger, stronger, more independent. They stockpile resources, they build higher walls, they go it alone. HOWEVER, We The People are stronger together. Unite!

I see that only a tiny fraction of you, my Bluesky friends, also follow @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social on here. Why not go follow right now? My guess is the more eyeballs we get here, the more attention we can give Bluesky relative to other social media platforms!

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

Hey Denver! Don't forget to join Colorado Bridge Trolls tomorrow afternoon for a "joy is resistance" dance party on Capitol west steps. We will be folding into the protest and march at 6:30 pm, so you get two for the price of one!

To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow: Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too. Signed, the American people

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

They're lying!

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Minnesota has filled a stadium.

Please SHARE if you agree!

The Minneapolis AFL-CIO calling for a general strike is a big deal and we should treat it like a big deal. Also it's a good idea. LFG minneapolisunions.org/system/files...

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

Timberwolves hold a moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good

🚨🚨RAPID RESPONSE: PROTEST ICE!🚨🚨Friday, 1/9, Colorado State Capitol. Show up. Speak out. Resist. Honor Renee Nicole Good & the others killed/harmed by ICE. PLEASE SHARE! #RememberRenee #MinneapolisShooting #ICEKilling #FreezeICE #DenverProtest @50501colorado.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

Let's go Front Range! We must not lose protest momentum - as this country is still finding its true protest voice! While sustained protest momentum alone will not necessarily vanquish powerful antidemocratic forces, it is highly likely a necessary prerequisite! Stand together at every chance!

Steves purchased the property to prevent it from closing. Many homeless people had come to depend on the Lynnwood Hygiene Center, which had operated rent-free on the property since 2020. n.pr/3MKbmJH

Use it and spread it like it’s hot please

Today would've been Matthew Shepard's 49th Birthday. While we remember those we lost to AIDS, let's not forget those we lost to hate. #RememberMatthew #NOH8

Watch this. Open your eyes to this brutality. ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man. Now share this. Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back. You have power. Even sharing this video exerts that power.

My little town outside Denver showed up. 😊🇺🇸✊🐸 bsky.app/profile/wdem...

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Today is National Coming Out Day. Coming out should always be a choice, not a mandate. But forced-outing bills, laws that require teachers or schools to disclose a student’s LGBTQ+ identity without consent, take away that choice and put young people in harm’s way. #NationalComingOutDay #momsky

I know pulling this quote is borderline hackwork at this point but Jesus fucking CHRIST

AMEN!!!

I will be there, how about you

The Trump Admin is trying to silence us, but we won't be intimidated! Join the #NoKings movement on October 18 and stand with us against authoritarian overreach and abuse of power. We'll rise together and say: we don't do kings in this country! app.sosha.ai/s/akMZtk1n

This should piss us all off. Donald Trump is putting up signs taking credit for the bipartisan Biden Infrastructure Act. He once called Biden's $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Bill “terrible”. But now he’s pretending he signed it.

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

“I know it’s scary and I know that there’s a lot of doubt, but now is the time for us to find our heroism.” @markruffalo.bsky.social hopes to see you in the streets on October 18: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

This is fascism. This is what fascists do. But once again, when future generations look back and wonder how fascism ever came to America, they will point right to all the fascist’s enablers. They will point to you @WaltDisneyCo, and you @Disney, and you @ABC, and you @ABCNetwork.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Let’s get this straight, once and for all: Homophobia is not an opinion. Transphobia is not an opinion. Xenophobia is not an opinion. Misogyny is not an opinion. Racism is not an opinion. It’s hatred. — Are we all clear on this?

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

What stage of Fascism are we in when Kilmeade openly says mentally ill/homeless should get “involuntary lethal injection”, & we should “kill them,” facing ZERO repercussions, while MSNBC analyst Dowd gets fired for stating FACTS about Charlie Kirk? 🔊 FIRE KILMEADE. 🔊 REHIRE DOWD. 🔊 RESTORE SANITY
