It's women who are leading this fight against fascism and oppression. Thank you to PSL, who at the KC Stop ICE Terror on Tuesday, invited one of KC WAC's organizers to share her truth. Here's an excerpt. #pslkcmo #DemocracyMatters

My Christmas was VERY American including receiving a text message from my wife, who was at work, informing me there had been a shooting at her work. Merry American Christmas to us Thankfully she is safe, unharmed physically. I fucking hate this place

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Back when we had some standards still

"I hope every speaker and leader at the #NoKings protests just takes five minutes and says, 'Okay, everyone, take out your phones now. We are ALL going to call our representatives. We are all going to ask about impeachment.'" - Keira Havens @highcountryrose.bsky.social Impeach, convict, remove.

If you didn’t already know, now you do.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

This is the way to protest. All the media that Disney owns? Its advertisements for the parks. Its all about the parks. Its ALL about the parks. If they think people are going to stop going to the parks, they're going to respond. The parks is where the money is.

This incredible human is doing incredible things and you could help them keep it going. 🖤

The most wholesome protest I’ve seen in a long time (and I see a lot of actions) and they still got U.S. Capitol Police called on them…

FIGHT KEHOE’S GERRYMANDER POWERGRAB As Republican “lawmakers” rig the vote and silence voters in districts they don’t like- the people of Missouri must make our voices heard loudly enough they can’t pretend they didn’t hear us. Turn up the volume. Donate now. secure.actblue.com/donate/kcwac...

Several activists who lead organizations across Kansas are heading to DC to make their voices heard. If you are able to donate please help fund their trip - if you can’t donate, sharing always helps.

@fifaclubworldcup.bsky.social as a die hard soccer fan, I am B E G G I N G you to reconsider hosting the upcoming world cup in the US. We are facing human rights atrocities daily. It is not safe. I dont want to see all of the incredible athletes subjected to the horrors of our current administration

I had my first appointment with a new therapist today and the very first thing we discussed was ensuring neither of us voted for trump or against human rights. It was really refreshing to know upfront we are on the same page. I immediately felt safer discussing my concerns about life right now.

Kennel training a puppy while your neighbors set off fireworks until the wee hours of the morning multiple nights in a row for a country that has no reason to celebrate is not ideal. 0/10 do not recommend

Welp. I guess I’ll give up YouTube too.

Now is not the time to despair. Now is the time for action. This bill is a devastating blow against the American people. It will make retaking our democracy much more difficult. However, our mission has not changed. They win when we give up. We must continue the fight.

The House passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” a cruel attack on poor, sick, and disabled people. It guts Medicaid and SNAP, funds deportations, boosts cops, and gives billionaires tax breaks. This isn’t policy. It’s punishment. Be angry. Be loud. Be ready. Fight back before it’s too late.

If you see ICE in the area PLEASE report it to the Advocates for Immigrant Rights & Reconciliation rapid response community hotline!! There are teams of people ready to respond for community aid but they have to know as quickly as possible. Save this number in your phone!! AIRR KC (913) 999-2398

May the powers that be protect our troops on bases in the Middle East. 😔

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

It’s the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The U.S. has entered war with Iran. This wasn’t a vote. This wasn’t a debate. It was a decision made for us. War powers abused. Lives at risk. We must resist militarism, reject far-right alliances, and start organizing like it’s already here because it is.

Activism is hard work. Burnout is hitting faster & harder. This pace isn’t sustainable for many, and rest is not a weakness. You’re not alone. You don’t have to do it all to still be part of the movement. Step back if you need to. We need you whole, not worn out. Stay grounded. Stay with us. 🖤✊🏻

I finally made a Blue Sky account! Hello everyone! I figured I would make my first post some highlights from this past Saturday's, No Kings protests!

Didnt realize how limited the photo availability was so here is another post!

More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

“Trump didn't deploy 2,000 National Guard troops on January 6 when the U.S. Capitol was under siege... But he deployed 2,000 today in Los Angeles.”

Now is a great time to remember that facial recognition software is far more easily fooled by sunglasses than by face masks. Totally unrelated: Sunglasses, now that I think about them, are probably really useful in Los Angeles at this time of year. Ijs. No reason.

So...all the folks who think Abolish ICE is "too extreme." Where are you on that position now?

Trump's authoritarian, xenophobic anti-migrant agenda is going to rip large parts of America apart. It isn't migrants who are a threat to the US, it's ICE and Trump. www.bbc.com/news/article...
