“There’s bullshit going on,” the Pacific Island nation minister said during a coffee break before the final vote.” If you want a livable planet without kings, I’ll see you out there tomorrow. #nokings #oct18

Fiscal responsibility has been weaponized as a way to sell starvation wages & the false heroism of “going without”. Socialized, equitable resource-sharing & stewardship has always been, & will always be the cheapest, most sustainable path to full, peaceful living for all. #mamdani

Taking back democracy and dignity brick by brick, and building systems that work for everyone. #nokings

This is not AI. I am 💀

FYI “Young Republicans” are adult men

“Connecticut is one of only a handful of states without a law banning female genital mutilation and cutting, a human rights violation and one of the most extreme forms of gender-based violence” Apparently, #CT legislators have a plan before them they they won’t pass. 19thnews.org/2025/10/anti...

Interested in writing about immigration arrests/deportations in your community? Join FAC’s Paloma Esquivel and journalists @wendyfry.bsky.social @jicastaneda.bsky.social & Jill Castellano at AccessFest for tips on covering immigration enforcement at the state/local level.

We are pushing back on behalf of the public we serve after being restricted by the local election office. A free press is central to a healthy and civically-engaged community.

Protest dance music. Bring your drums, your flutes, your grandpa’s accordion and dance your way back to democracy! #nokings2 #protest #nokingsday #oct18 🚫👑🎶 music.apple.com/us/album/bac...

Let’s make this bigger, louder, and more joyful than the last one. Bring everyone you know & your commitment to peaceful protest. There will never be an easier time to stop this. Let’s gooooo!!!!

R’s control all 3 branches of gov’t, plus the Supreme Court by their microscopic cojones. They have the ability to unilaterally pass a spending bill, but won’t because they know how unpopular their draconian slash & burn is. They need scapegoats. This pain is their will. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Remember when people were screaming that “waste, fraud & abuse” was a cover? “Federal law requires that there be an Office of Special Education Programs – within the U.S. Department of Education... closing the office by firing its staff should require an act of Congress” www.npr.org/2025/10/13/n...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

How much money would it take to sell your humanity? Ask an ICE agent.

Curious if MAGA knows that "God Bless America" was written by someone not born in America who arrived here without any authorization whatsoever and yet, through the woke policies of the time, was allowed to stay and to become a naturalized citizen. So very "open borders."

#Project2025 much? The emperor had a coming out party where he declared he wouldn’t be wearing clothes, and then all his supporters chose to pluck out their eyes so they couldn’t see that it was true…

West Virginia is once again number one at sucking.

From Israel-Gaza to First Amendment, outstanding and nuanced perspective by @seth-stern.bsky.social. Bravo. Epitomizes F. Scott Fitzgerald quote, "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function."

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized. We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon. She issued that order

This is the best sign yet that #nonviolent #resistace is working. When abusers have no moves left, they lash out in violent rage, and finally- retreat. Hold tight to your courage and keep going. It’s the death rattle of strongmen.

Whether it’s civil war or ‘something else’, you gotta do it. Democracy is gone. You’re in Russia, China, or North Korea now. All of his minions are complicit and should be charged with treason.

Press release from Congressman John Larson (CT-1)

Capitalism has always been a system designed to enhance power and wealth imbalance. We can’t- and won’t- fix political, environmental, or class problems without eliminating capitalism. Want to take care of your neighbors? Think big, act local. #courage #fuckice #antifa www.wsj.com/tech/apple-i...

No lie.

#SCOTUS starts a new term on Monday, and it has it all: race, gender, money and power. Cases on voting rights, transgender sports, conversion therapy and campaign finance will test how far the court’s originalist “course correction” will go. buff.ly/1iGFqBy #polisky

New in PN: Lessons from a Red Scare "As Emma Goldman hoped, and Louis Post later demonstrated, the American people are capable of turning the tide against repression — even if that effort feels hopeless in the moment."

They want you dead and miserable. Whatever way they can find.

Finally- that’s what we’re taking about!

Every single elections reform will help. Ultimately, we have to repeal #CitizensUnited This is an ethos shift in the dying gasps of capitalism. Money should never equal power.

Keep posting those pics and videos folks.

jesus christ

These are real threats, but this is not to cause fear; it’s to educate so that we can all stand up & demand peacefully to be counted. Let your emotions be transmuted into the fuel for nonviolent resistance. It does work. It must.

Keep an eye on all things #voting #elections. Expect the stops to get pulled out & “emergencies” to be fabricated/escalated to justify election interference in the open. Go to your local elections officials and ask how you can help them maintain fair elections! It was safe until #gerrymandering ‘25

#veterannoiseprotest Stand up. Be accountable. Work for peace. @jollygoodginger.bsky.social Last post deleted b/c of wrong #.

8 PM for one minute to 8:01 Noise protest 🪧 #VeteranNoiseProtest You don't have to be a veteran to participate! #Veterans #Veteran #EveryoneCanJoin @jollygoodginger.bsky.social

Tonight!! 9/28 8pm whatever your local time zone is: go outside & make some NOISE for 1min. @jollygoodginger.bsky.social just issued a mass-mobilization call to all vets and supporting civilians. Let’s all answer the call! Watch the replay of his Live from YT here: www.youtube.com/live/NaiFoMN...

“Fascism is a political system built on control, fear, and loyalty to a strong leader. Fascism attacks democracy.” A quick primer on fascism and anti-fascism:

This is depressingly common now. A lot of people have in absentia removal orders they don't know about. And now that the benefits office is becoming an arm of the mass deportation machine, so people are getting picked up in this situation -- and grace to give time to file a motion to reopen is gone.

TODAY at 1PM ET: The redistricting battle continues in Utah as the state's Redistricting Committee prepares to vote on one of six congressional maps to advance in a court-ordered process. Follow @mattdcohen.bsky.social's thread below for live updates👇

The SAVE Act must be prevented from passing. High-control regimes know their policies are unpopular and unhelpful to citizens, so they must lie, manipulate, spin, gaslight, & sneak through the means to justify their ends. Regardless of your party, you don’t want this- I guarantee you.

In hell for almost 5 months. Imagine it was you.

CNN: Breaking news tonight, Democrats securing the final push they need to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files as Democrat Adelita Grijalva wins the special election in Arizona's 7th congressional district

A MUST WATCH: "Authoritarianism is already here." From attacks on media to voter suppression, Stacey Abrams outlines why we already are living in an authoritarian state. But we've not fully fallen. Watch to see why there's hope: Watch HERE: www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

No matter what the real story is, we can guarantee we’re not being shown the full or accurate picture because the truth is rarely convenient for abusers.
