People call your union reps. Our unions are gonna need to initiate a national strike. Now you know why they didn’t want strong unions.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

I’ve worked alongside law enforcement to keep our communities safe. ICE is not law enforcement—it’s lawlessness in the name of Trump’s power. So like I said in 2018: Abolish ICE.

Please share fare and wide.

Trump told the oil companies about the Venezuela plan, but neglected to tell Congress. This invasion isn’t about protecting Americans, it’s military assistance for big oil and his billionaire friends.

Andre Vasquez put out a pretty strong statement for a local elected official. bsky.app/profile/andr...

youtu.be/XCQmvO0zBME I love my countries 🇬🇧🇺🇦 Russia plays the victim while attacking the West, yet its elite educates their children there and moor their mega-yachts off Monaco. A ruling class that doesn’t believe its own propaganda. Now they are invading West

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

This is one of my favorite pictures from yesterday, Governor Pritzker with the protesters... #NoKings

No Kings protesters in NJ & VA get to take all that energy to the polls now in very important elections in their states 2 weeks from now. Make your voices heard in the streets & at the ballot box. Vote against all Trump allies/enablers & send a message to the rest of them for us.

What ICE is doing is terrorism.

Mamdani’s got it. “Trump and republicans in congress shut down the federal government.”

At least the UK papers are reporting the truth. US media is afraid to anger Trump www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Please take this man’s advice!

It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not. This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

If you can’t stomach Newsom - and he’s pretty hard to stomach - Pritzker is also kicking ass.

A $16M settlement in response to Trump’s baseless lawsuit over a “60 Minutes” interview sets a dangerous precedent. It undermines press freedom and rewards political attacks on journalism. Watch @trevortimm.bsky.social ‬explain why @paramountnewsbr.bsky.social’s board must be held accountable.

This country is currently under a transition from democracy to oligarchy. It’s happening right now. Not in the future. Now.

This ruling must not stand. Please join me in supporting Good Law Project's challenge.

Russian strike kills at least 34, injures 117 in Sumy on Palm Sunday; 'There’s a point at which you have to either put up or shut up' — Trump says on Russia-Ukraine talks; and more.

We're not gonna take it!! #resist #HandsOff

Especially true in red counties like mine. I admit to a little trepidation after hearing MAGA types were planning to show up (they didn't). As passerby after passerby honked or waved in support, it dawned on me how much I'd underestimated my neighbors. That dissolution of fear is priceless.

Sadly this is America with Trump and rhe republicans: www.theverge.com/21276979/pho...

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS FOR TODAYS PROTEST

Protesters in Lisbon, Portugal are out protesting against Elon Musk and Donald Trump at the Hands Off! protest! Thank you for your solidarity, Portugal! 🇵🇹

What’s their plan you ask? It appears it is to bring democracy to its knees here and eventually we will have no other choice but to capitulate. Get out & protest today. We need to send a resounding message that’s heard around the world. The rest of the world are watching. What will Americans do?

Want to join me for this Hands Off event?

Bye Bye Ms America. Unless there’s a revolution we on a rapid descent to Russia 2.0. It’s so frustrating watching what’s coming & not having the power to stop it.

European leaders renew support for Ukraine after Zelenskyy’s stormy meeting with Trump - NPR Now let’s see the US politicians do the same. Stand up for something you cowards. Your vote is your voice, not the clutched pearls words of disappointment

Neither Musk nor Trump care whether what they say is true. They don't care about rooting out fraud or saving taxpayer money. The administration is just “flooding the zone,” knowing that the people cannot keep up.

What has #PresidentMusk done today, while being serviced by #TinyT

Pay attention to America's infrastructure of wealth, secrecy, and tax avoidance, and you might find yourself asking an uncomfortable question. “We talk all the time about Putin and his oligarchic friends," Bernie Sanders told us. “But for obvious reasons, we don’t talk about oligarchy in the US.”

This is what’s up! youtu.be/y9uSLoxTtwI?...

#OligarcyTookHoldToday I’m wishing everyone strength, peace & calm. Don’t let them get control of your emotions. They did the last time & I’m expecting it to be even more dizzying than the previous time. Online is not RL. Remember that! 💚🍀

A new report out from the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), led by Sen. Bernie Sanders, accuses Amazon of manipulating data on worker injuries and ignoring safety concerns.

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees that the time is LONG overdue for greedy health insurance companies to stop ripping everyone off by taking our money, paying their CEOs millions, and denying our insurance claims. Not now. RIGHT fucking now.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

China releases three US citizens held for years in prisoner swap

Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad

#Wallmart is getting rid of their diversity hiring programs. People, these are the true colors. Furnished by fear? Profit above people? Bending to pressure of the purse? Whatever it is, they were never sincere about it in the first place if they are not giving it a chance to improve equity.

"With fear for our democracy, I dissent," is about as bedrock and terrifying and vital a statement as you're going to get. That's a line you spraypaint on walls, that you ink into your skin. And it's chilling that it is necessary to say at all.
