If you know a college student or recent graduate with decent grades who wants to explore women's history in a museum setting, this would be so much fun!

People heard that the DEICER app was removed from the app stores a few months ago. It was removed, but it’s not gone! You can't get it in app stores, but you can download a web app that works on both platforms here. deicer.org It seems important, with the recent escalation, to share information!

Hey MAGA, They knew your “Don’t Tread on Me” flags, your love of the Second Amendment, and your hatred of tyranny made you a threat. So they propagandized you, co-opted your media, and trained you to believe that anything red was on your side. You've been neutralized.

Using phony criminal charges to intimidate his opponents. Deploying masked thugs to terrorize American cities. Unilaterally threatening and bombing foreign countries. Trump is a ruthless dictator, plain and simple.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days. End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

Nowadays, WE’RE soaking in it.

LA Persian community, please check in and let us know you’re safe / if anyone impacted needs us to work on gathering resources to help. (Everyone else: avoid Westwood, I passed by unavoidably and saw law enforcement shutting down roads and escorting a motorcade away from the consulate)

He is simultaneously a man enacting interpersonal gendered domination *and also* a state agent enacting violence against dissenters. Part of that is disturbing about ICE’s impunity is that it gives state power and backing to individual men’s grievances.

Liberals say that Iranians are protesting because they want democracy. They're wrong—Iranians are protesting because want a republic.

Hey folks of Minneapolis!! If you need a tow truck, don’t use Cedar Towing & Auction !!!! One of their tow truck drivers attempted to drive his truck through the protest of people today while proudly wearing his MAGA hat

Taunting is not a justification for arbitrary executions. Collective guilt is contrary to the rule of the law. Resisting the state— even if unlawful and prosecutable—doesn’t justify a death sentence. Our colonial ancestors rejected that agents of the state are absolutely immune for their wrongdoing.

Truth!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
