Can’t express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The president’s fascist goon squad is not welcome here.

Thank you to our amazing volunteers for coming out to canvass yesterday! When we fight, we win!

Some remarkable quotes from these CDC resignation letters:

I know Democrats are overwhelmed (or rudderless, if you are less charitable) by the sheer volume of Trump authoritarian moves, but I’d like to see them unified behind specific goals like “RFK Jr is a threat to public health and needs to go.”

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

didn't know until last weekend that Brown Pelicans migrate through and hang out along the coast in late summer, early fall. then they fly to Mexico. #OlympicPeninsula #birbjoy

Life comes at you fast

Alligator Alcatraz has been halted because of the Miccosukee Tribe. But look at how it's reported. Native people constantly fight for not only the land, but human rights -- and their contributions are consistently erased. And everyone does it. Erasing Native voices is the true American pastime.

Generational public health sabotage

The rise of fascism depends on the presence of aliens and enemies. Foreign “threats” may change with the times, but every gestapo is the same.

from the brilliant, incisive Brandon Shimoda: thebaffler.com/latest/alien... As terrified as America is of the aliens & enemies it has invented to defer dealing with its own deterioration, it is more terrified of the people, in their actuality & essence, on whom they have forced their inventions.

I still haven't gotten over the concentration camp merch

Ooh a fun one: if you've already called your GOP rep, call customer service for these airlines & explain how you will not be flying with them ever again* *This does not have to be true! We don't lie to the people we organize but lying to hostage takers is fine

it doesn't seem like too much to ask for at least a brief moratorium on "centrist" Dems knifing their own party members while Trump is attempting to pass the worst piece of legislation since the Fugitive Slave Act
