It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

"We will not let Mr. Trump intimidate or debilitate us. We are not afraid. After all, Minnesotans not only welcome refugees, they also sent one to Congress. -US Rep Ilhan Omar

Just so everyone is clear, these conversations are being had within the ranks.

This is FANTASTIC. So grateful to visual artist @dreadscott.bsky.social and playwright Lynn Nottage. #FallFreedoms www.npr.org/2025/11/21/n...

"Like you, I am heartened by the outcome of this week’s elections. But I understand that we still remain in deep peril as a nation. So let us all stay vigilant and on offense and demand the same of our leaders. . . . Because this battle is far from over." -Sherrilyn Ifill

"From Atlanta to Minneapolis to Upstate New York, socialists across the country won municipal elections this week."

There is a segment of the US population who won't believe this is true. And another segment that will always deny it, no matter how big the numbers get. When people say it's not true, what they mean is they don't care. Yet.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Organizational signatures needed. Tell your members of Congress that the Fair Housing Act is not optional, and HUD must defend civil rights in housing!

Ta-Nehisi Coates on why it matters.

This is why I have decried the narrow range of voices and sources relied upon by those we rely on as “experts.”

Such an odd thing to read in the newspaper www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

This is important. And chilling.

The People are nullifying nonsense aka prosecutorial overreach and political persecution. ✊🏽👏🏽🤘🏽

These abductions and disappearances are war on the American people. Fascists hate the greatness of our diverse collective, ripe with potential because of our shared belief in following our callings to contribute to our shared unique, and sometimes pretty great, society.

$4k/day? Even more grotesque is that they spent all this money to build a place where people had to press themselves into the shower walls to get the little water dripping down them, with inadequate air cooling & sewage leaks, entirely infested with mosquitos & other pests, & food with worms in it.

This is so sad. They have worked so hard to keep us safe and healthy, devoted their careers to us. They deserve this applause and more. And we will feel this loss more deeply than we know. Now that trolls have taken over the government we won't have anything we need to fight infectious diseases.

It doesn't cost as much as you think to pay someone to betray children.

🙌🏽👏🏽🗽

Don't ever forget.

"A Hispanic Texan has one-third the political value of a white Texan under this plan, and a Black Texan has one-fifth."

Love it! 🫶🏽

“Federal prosecutors in D.C. have been instructed not to seek felony charges against people who are carrying rifles or shotguns in [DC], regardless of the strength of the evidence, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and an email reviewed by [WaPo].” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I see poor people.

The hypocrisy is hypocritical.

"My greatest fear is that this is the stage when many people may decide to give in. To put their heads down and stay silent. To concede that we are fighting a losing battle. To lose faith and hope."

"In the Trump world view – and his supporters echo this like the cultists they are – Black people cannot lead. They certainly can’t be President of the United States, as the nearly two decade long ongoing right-wing shitfest over Barack Obama has shown us. And a Black woman? Even worse."

We have to be able to face our worst fears in order to predict and plan. In “Parable of the Talents,” published in 1998 and set in the 2020s, Butler introduces a conservative presidential candidate who urges voters to join him in a project to “make America great again.” #OctaviaKnew #ParablePath

Will you call today?

Is there anything more dystopian?

I’ve been a civil rights atty for over 30 years. What do you imagine about this country can “surprise” me at this point? I have been ringing the alarm bell abt white supremacy as the gateway drug to ending democracy for years. But I will still hold standards for people, institutions, and my country.

This is who Trump shipped to a Salvadoran dungeon: An event planner A coal miner An Uber driver Tortilla maker Barber DoorDashers Soccer coaches Furniture-maker Car washers Taxi drivers HVAC techs Auto parts worker Tire plant worker and 240 more... projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...

The scope of this is unimaginable.

Game recognize game. #BlackExcellence

If you're not taking in current events with Josh Johnson, what are you even doing rn?

ICE arrests are up 6x since last month. Courthouses are now abduction traps. The cruelty is the point. We will keep standing up and fighting as long as it takes to prevail against Trump's tyranny.

Immigration court felt like a murderous reality show today. The judge granted two gentlemen asylum hearings in 2029. But it was all a sham—They were abducted by ICE before they left the building. There is more the City & the State must do. We cannot allow the rule of law to be eroded case by case.

Elise Stefanik now attacking the idea that a CUNY employee would be a lawyer for Mahmoud Khalil. She is attacking the very core of our legal system, the right to a lawyer. Denying people the right to a lawyer is straight up fascism.
