If you can’t think for yourself you can’t rebel. If you become reliant on an external brain to think for you, you will soon need it desperately. If you do not find art important, no art can move you to action. A docile, listless, addicted population is the dream of an authoritarian.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle. "That's just how it is."

Justice for Dr. Linda Davis. ICE must be held accountable for the deadly chain of events and the cruel aftermath. Her memory lives on in every life she touched.

I never thought I’d see the day. Americans being told by the rest of the world to fight for our own democracy. We should never have gotten here. Keep resisting. ✊🏽 #SheShed #Voices4Victory

HOW MANY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN? HOW MANY INNOCENT, HARD WORKING IMMIGRANT FAMILIES DO TRUMP/MILLER PLAN TO DESTROY? MILLIONS? Like the NAZIS?

Mamdani announces a new executive order protecting New Yorkers from "abusive immigration enforcement," including requiring ICE to have a judicial warrant to enter NYC property

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has refused to block California’s new congressional map approved by voters last November. The map will go into effect until 2030, countering Trump’s mid-decade redistricting scheme in November’s midterms.

Speaking to the BBC on Tuesday, Epstein survivor Annie Farmer said: "It's hard to focus on the new information that has been brought to light because of how much damage the DOJ has done by exposing survivors in this way." Incompetence and blatant illegality on this scale becomes a cruel strategy.

IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! TOMORROW!!!!! #ProudBlue #DV1 #Pinks

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I am on my way to get access to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center in south Texas. To do my job of oversight. I have been told I am going to be illegally refused entry, but I’m going anyway. We can’t let them hide.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

I just listened to Carney’s third way speech for middle powers. So intelligent and inspiring. I’m proud of our Canadian neighbors for shining a light on another way through the chaos this current U.S. government has created.

Pass. It. On. 😎✨ 👇👇👇

The judge ordered that ICE agents cannot ♦️Arrest or detain peaceful protesters ♦️Use pepper spray or other nonlethal munitions against peaceful protesters ♦️Stop or detain drivers and passengers in vehicles without reasonable suspicion that they are obstructing or interfering with ICE actions
