There is a statue of author Alex Haley in East Knoxville, TN. Knox County just removed Roots from all school libraries.

NEW: Ahead of our meetings with @massgovernor.bsky.social and @massago.bsky.social this week @fightforthefuture.org is sharing a draft of proposed alternative social media legislation. Our model bill cracks down on Big Tech abuses without destroying privacy and throwing LGBTQ+ youth under the bus.

it’s not even close (this is from 1985)

At the #MayDayStrong rally in Boston today, one of the speakers from a teachers' union was asking for support to stop this deportation: tinyurl.com/aftma4mariola - sign and re-post. #resist

Trump is directing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to prioritize cases of discrimination against white men, but commission staff are "struggling to find complaints with merit"

Plan ahead so that you don't need to buy anything on Friday! If you can, also plan to take off work on Friday. #resist

PabloReports: Who do you think Trump should fire next? AOC: Is he out of women? Trump only seems to have the capability to fire female secretaries. If you’re a man in the Trump administration, it seems that they reward misconduct.

www.eff.org/deeplinks/20... Yesterday I called my senators and representative and said we shouldn't renew FISA section 702 at all. Call yours. #resist

EFF stays on social platforms they don't endorse and have strong criticisms of, because other people on those platforms need what EFF offers. But they're leaving Twitter because it's no longer relevant or impactful - because most people have left and they don't think it's worth the trouble anymore.

In 5 days, the crew will be further away from Elon Musk than anyone else has ever been. Goosebumps!

The other day I realized that since Macs changed from using Intel chips to Apple Silicon, they now have real Apple cores.

So the government's argument against birthright citizenship is that people without legal immigration status are not "subject to the jurisdiction of" the US. Okay, how does that logic apply to immigration enforcement? @akivamcohen.bsky.social @kenwhite.bsky.social

National organizing call on Tuesday evening to learn about plans for upcoming activities. Plans for economic strike on May 1. #NoKings #resist

A few more #cats from #NoKings #Boston today.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

@dropkickmurphys.com playing a set at #NoKings #Boston, starting with the song they debuted at the Hands Off protest in Boston last April

Jimmy Tingle on immigration at #NoKings #Boston: "40% of agricultural workers are undocumented - most of these people would make great citizens. Some of them are sneaking into this country... to work! That's like someone sneaking into your house to clean it!"

#NoKings #Boston rally starting with a crowd larger than I can fit in the frame from standing on the hill above the field

Cats return for #NoKings #Boston again! Here's my thread of cat signs from last June's protest. Respond with pics of any No Kings cats you see today.

I'll post more from #NoKings #Boston on my @cospics.bsky.social account

I spent my junior-high and high-school years in Texas, and books were my life. Prohibiting students from reading anything but state-approved pabulum is repulsive: thebloggess.com/2026/03/25/t...

With #NoKings protests coming up this Saturday, a good time to (re)read and share this article from December: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... @50501movement.bsky.social #resist

Crockett: "What if someone from another country said 'We're gonna bomb America bc we have a warrant for the president's arrest bc of the child sex trafficking in the Epstein files.' Every single one of you sticking up for him right now would be screaming. The analysis has to be the same."

I am a certified coffee snob and I loathe Dunkin's coffee and also I will absolutely defend them to the death against this smack-snorting naugahyde zombie.

This definitely looks like an image a movie maker would use to illustrate "the US is now a military dictatorship with a thug leader" for a fictional dystopia. #resist

John Oliver is right to not just say we need to eliminate ICE, but that the Department of Homeland Security as a whole was a bad idea and should be unwound. Somehow he still manages to be hilarious while solidly making serious points about disturbing and horrible things. #resist #ICE

I'd love for Wyze to get as much mileage as they can out of this brilliant parody. Watch, and share!

Someone compiled a list with location, size, and links, of all the warehouses ICE is buying or trying to buy around the country to turn into more abusive concentration camps: www.reddit.com/r/Keep_Track... Local opposition is blocking some of these. Pass it on! #resist #ICE

In addition to watching and sharing this video, also call your Senators and Representative and ask to make sure they watch it. They need to demand that any DHS funding bill includes measures that will send these ICE thugs to prison, such as an independent special prosecutor. #resist #ICE

What they should be saying is shut down ICE, but as a _compromise_ we could appoint an independent special prosecutor to prosecute the violent field agents and the leaders who gave illegal orders, and criminalize ICE agents detaining people with legal status w/o solid probable cause. #resist #ICE

The rage that has to exist in the average Minnesotan to watch someone stuck on an icy hill and STAND BY AND TAUNT THEM

“In our continuing fight to make America great again, it is vital we maintain Republican control of the government so we can ensure the extrajudicial killing of all U.S. citizens at the hands of ICE officers,” said Republican National Committee chair Joe Gruters

Lucy with the soup can.

This was apparently recorded in Hopkins, MN. If you know someone who lives there, ask if they'll contact their police ( www.hopkinsmn.com/308/Police ) to urge them to investigate and get this officer charged with assault. ICE keeps breaking the law, it won't stop without prosecutions. #resist #ICE

This keeps happening over and over, in many parts of the country: Detaining people because of what they look like rather than any actual evidence leads to treating native Americans as if they were "illegal immigrants". ICE claims they're not racist, which is laugable. #resist #ICE

I appreciate an honest headline. #chatgpt #ai

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

The government's argument to the court would mean they could literally fire someone for being female, for being black, for being from Mexico, or even for being white for that matter - they could discriminate any way they want. #resist

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

I heard there was a Cohen song, And all the Christians got it wrong, But you don’t really get the meaning do ya? ‘Cause you see its about getting laid, It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith, But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”
