ACTION ALERT‼️ Stand in solidarity with Minnesota ‼️

Another Murder in Minnesota. At what point do we the people simply convoy to D.C. and not leave until every single one of these Christofascists are removed and tried? From John Roberts to the most junior staffer. The Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society dismantled. #DemVoice1

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Dear Target and Home Depot, Meijer and Lowes would like to thank you for giving them lifetime business. Your pro-fascist asshattery has been great for their business. #DemVoice1

Any business that provides material support or aide to ICE will never see a dime of my business for as long as I live. Provide them food - out; provide them fuel - out; provide them lodging - out; provide them transportation - out. #DemVoice1

In the words of John Lewis, it's time for "good trouble." If you're a Minnesotan, I urge you to join tomorrow's Ice Out For Good economic blockout and exercise your collective power. And if you're not, organize in solidarity and demand our leaders stand up to ICE. https://iceoutforgood.org/

This beautiful child, an American citizen just like his parents, is being bullied because Donald Trump is a racist piece of shit and white supremacy feels emboldened to act without shame. This hatred is taught and it is wrong.

Oh so you think you’re oppressed? Okay. Ask the black community. Ask the asian community. Ask the Latino community. Ask the immigrant community. Ask the indigenous community. Ask the lgbtq+ community. You’ve had blinders on for decades! Take them off and get in the fight !

These ICE morons should realize that if they are getting paid - there will be a paper trail identifying them and they will all be held accountable when this regime falls, which it inevitably will.

Over the last week, we’ve seen federal agents arresting, threatening, and using force against innocent bystanders. They have carried out enforcement actions in schools, at hospitals, and in one horrific instance shot and killed someone.

Dear @clickondetroit.com, I am not sure whether the ad runs following Jeopardy are decided upon locally or at the network level, but I will not watch another second of this channel until the ads for ICE are removed & there is an apology for platforming them.

MAGA, Let me clear this up for you. If you feel pressure to apologize for being white, it is not your whiteness - it is your belief that your whiteness implies your unearned worth. Your racism is the problem. #AmericanReflections #DemVoice1

Agree 💯 With John Pavlovitz.....

I don’t apologize for being white, I apologize for all the white ppl wearing red hats

WOW. They're not going to air their special on CECOT. I'd like to know who made this decision, and whether the federal government had a hand in it.

The danger in allyship is trying to be performatively "right", even if sincere. It takes more effort to understand and say what actually must be said. #AmericanReflections

America is learning the hard truth that relevance does not simply come with the label of being America. #AmericanReflections #DemVoice1 tpartridge.substack.com?utm_campaign...
