This is a good summary of why protests are important! Great article!

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

1/2. Charlie Kirk frequently called for other people to be killed. Remember that time when Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden to be executed? I do. He didn't even bother to posit any particular crime.

1. A few hours before this morning’s presser, in which law enforcement authorities announced they had taken into custody Charlie Kirk’s killer, Meghan McCain, daughter of the late John McCain, weighed in on “the fundamental difference between the right and the left in this country.”

“After a gunman reportedly deceived by anti-vaccine disinformation opened fire on the CDC and fatally shot David Rose, a community grieves as Trump officials remain silent. A lie murdered David Rose.” www.theguardian.com/... 1/4

Charlie Kirk said this in July 13, 2023: "Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person's slot."

Letting children be shot and killed because we want to have access to arsenals of weapons without restrictions is also political violence.

Um, Trump will make up any reason to remove a black woman from her job.

Remember this: “Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” —Frederick Douglass

STOP BLAMING THE DEMS!! JHFC - we can't get anywhere infighting! Focus on the fight against the nazis!

Slavery is not just shackles. It’s systemic ownership of survival pathways.

Responding to Padilla’s detention with “We need answers” is such a profound misreading if the situation. We have answers. We saw a cabinet member say she’d “liberate” LA from its leaders before one of them was thrown to the ground. We need a response. Articles of impeachment could be one start.

What's the "general" description? Brown? "A Deputy US Marshal who fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE....".

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

I won’t be able to forget the description of the 16-year-old daughter’s screams of agony while her mother was kidnapped and the police protected the kidnappers. It’s happening here.

The next step will be black people with hoodies.....

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

Commissioned in 1865, right as the U.S. Civil War ended, the Statue of Liberty was originally designed holding broken chains in her left hand—this fact has been whitewashed from history b/c of the clear allusion to U.S. chattel slavery; the chains were replaced by the current tablet-like object. 🇺🇸

Like why her, and not Ben Franklin? Why not Jefferson? Selective erasure of national hero..... We know why. We know why

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

@kylec.bsky.social LMAO why did you all blurr the face of the dog???? Protection of the innocent??? OMG, ty, I laughed so hard I almost peed

My friend Henry (who was also my student) & I decided to create some joy in –20°C weather in the Yukon and share it with you all. He is in grade 5 now. We are sending joy, hope, and positivity. (Share such messages to train your algorithm to bring positive and human-centric stories to your feed)

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

'sold as slave labor to El Salvador' is I honestly think a fair way of describing it

1. Short everything 2. Announce tariffs 3. Close out short positions 4. Buy the dip 5. Call off the tariffs 6. Sell the spike 7. Repeat Is there any reason to believe Trump's entire inner circle isn't doing this?

So we are cutting jobs of federal employees to pay one Private Prison $1,000,000,000 to house "up to 1,000" immigrants in New Jersey. That's a million dollars per immigrant. We could buy each immigrant a house 🏠 and put their kids thru college for a million dollars.

Pretty much sums it up

“Fraud” is a crime. We’re still waiting for all the arrests. ⏰ www.publicnotice.co/p/despite-th...

Elon Musk’s 28 False Claims Get 825.2 Million Views www.newsguardrealitycheck.com/p/musks-28-f...

Jesus, this is madness. Brownshirts is right. Stop and think for a moment how broadly one might interpret "cartel-linked organization." And who makes that determination? No idea. Any random Proud Boy who doesn't like the cut of someone's jib? Fucking terrifying.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

"...spitting that it was a “DEI halftime show,” which was more pathetic than upsetting. They are pieces of soggy Wonder bread, reduced to attacking brilliance because it exposes their mediocrity. It’s just stupid to think some addled 78-year-old misogynist caked in orange is the peak of masculinity.

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority. (via @schatz.bsky.social)

THEY ARE DOING THE THING, THEY ARE DOING THE FUCKING THING, STOP TELLING THEM TO DO SOMETHING AND WATCH WHAT THEY ARE DOING

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Imagine dying in service of your country and your family needing to request anonymity because of the President of the United States and his supporters.

People who think removing DEI in universities leads to meritocracies, are too stupid to get into universities on the merits.

happy large boulder the size of a small boulder day to those who celebrate

Never forget race conscious policies were put in as corrective actions from segregation. Anyone who opposes DEI should be asked why they are pro-segregation.

Extremely unfun fact: math like this is one of the reasons the Nazis ended up deciding to build death camps. They decided it was cheaper and easier to murder people, rather than deal with the logistics of moving them somewhere else after they had been deported.

Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're talking about regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings. They are talking about civil rights

On 21 March 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. The same day he pardoned 8,000 Nazis, who had committed violent acts, starting with the failed Hitler coup on 8 November 1923. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...
