okay finally there is good news (please don't let this be an early April Fools joke)

General strike anyone? @shelbyn_23

Same!!

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

Are you an agent or a publisher looking to add to your list? There are FANTASTIC authors left in the lurch by Unbound who need homes for their existing bools and for sequels / new books. A thread, grouped by genre. Please reskeet! Here’s YA spec fic & fantasy:

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

Just remembered Mercury retrograde kicks off today, with many secrets typically revealed through the accidents the season supplies. I guess I mean, this is just the beginning.

Just my 🚨🚨PSA🚨🚨 Not just your beloved pets They get SCARED BUT Also People, Children, and Soldiers Walk in Their Shoes

No “President” has a right to strip citizenship and deport people who challenge his policies. That’s fascism, not America.

As Republicans make their red white and blue dishes for the 4th of July and applaud the unlawful grabs and detentions of farm workers, these are the people who pick their strawberries and blueberries #UnmaskICE

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Lack of Medicaid funding doesn't just hurt those who rely on it. It also threatens the very existence of hospitals & doctor's offices that serve entire communities. When they close, EVERYONE suffers - regardless of insurance status. #DontKillOurMedicaid

From the “Blackish” episode celebrating Juneteenth

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something... My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

POWERFUL "YOU DON'T LIVE IN OUR SKIN" TEXAS HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE Armando Walle Please listen and share

Was the real hero today the Los Angeles Dodgers or Journalist Dylan Hernandez that called out the Dodgers for their cowardice in an LA Times article on June 14th?

Okay I know you all are watching some sort of train crash, BUT our 4-yo just marched into the room and said “You know what? I LOVE BOOKS. I love books more than probably anyone.”

A Korean American woman shares her experience of living in America. Being treated as a foreigner even though she was born in America. Too many people viewed being ‘American’ through a monochromatic lens.

I'm attending Pramila for Congress's event, “Pramila Jayapal's Resistance Lab: Virtual Organizing Training 1.0” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/pramilaforco...

Weber: I'm glad you're addressing us instead of speaking to the camera. … AOC: There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. Hello. I’m talking to you because I work for you. They deserve to see what is happening here..

That is in fact what this administration has done.

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

New platform. Old rules apply.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money! I say this every day, but with the passing of the new Secretary of Social Security Administration it’s more important than ever to make our voices heard. NEVER GIVE UP!

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

If you see it, share it. #nativewriters #indigenouswriters #opensubmissions #amwriting

I’m 46 but I had my shingrix shot because I’m worried about what RFK jr is going to do with vaccines. Shingles is a preventable illness like measles. We are so lucky to have these vaccines! I for one will not forgo them because the guy who runs government health services has a 🐛 in his 🧠

love to make america great again by essentially expelling the people that enrich our children’s lives

Being disabled is not a personal failing. It’s not caused by lack of effort. The human body is frail. Statistically speaking most people will end up disabled at some point in their lives. It’s a minority group you can join at any time. We need allies, inclusion & accommodation. Not judgement.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

I spent the day at the ICE Detention centers where Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil are being unjustly detained. They've been taken thousands of miles away from home and denied due process. I’m here to call for their immediate release and make it known that they haven’t been forgotten.

Stay loud stay visible stay brave

I don’t got a TikTok and I sure never intended for that video to be out, honestly didn’t even know it was recorded, but glad the words are out there. www.tiktok.com/@baxterforhe...

Stop saying “the country is so divided” and instead, start describing what’s actually happening:

I think that it's more important than ever for us, even those of us who are disabled, to confront our intellectual ableism. I say this from first hand experience of just how much of it spilled out of me when my migraines first significantly changed my cognitive and intellectual capacity.

For those who don’t understand how important due process is. Listen to this!!
