In 1936 & 1937, 35,000 people came from around the world to defend the democratically elected Spanish gov't against fascism. 3,000 volunteered from the U.S. They would found the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. #StoriesOfResistance @undertheshadow.bsky.social @globalexchange.bsky.social

Meeting in Bogotá, Colombia, representatives of Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, and South Africa announced sanctions against Israel to cut the flow of weapons facilitating genocide and war crimes in Gaza.

Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for Medicaid, but DHS says the data will aid their immigration crackdown.

BREAKING: House Republicans just blocked another attempt to release the Epstein files, in a full vote of the House. I spoke to Eric Swallwell and got his reaction to this critical vote: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

“That decision is indefensible,” the justice wrote. “It hands the executive the power to repeal statutes by firing all those necessary to carry them out.”

The Police Accountability Report explores the criminal liability faced by Deputy Iverson and the recent First Amendment failures of the Henderson police department.

Can Democrats take a win? Or will they ignore the voters just to stamp out progressivism? That’s the question @tayagraham.bsky.social and Stephen Janis debate after the victory by New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in the democratic primary last week.

@tayagraham.bsky.social breaks down what Bezos’s luxurious fete reveals about the massive wealth imbalance in the United States.

The expansion of fascism is here: - $74.9 billion for ICE detention and removal - $65.6 billion for CBP infrastructure, hiring, tech - $10 billion DHS slush fund - $3.5 billion for state enforcement And more!

Weird thing for a Republican congressman to be celebrating but at least he's being honest

Grandma had some spicy signs! But don't let that dissuade you from their message! These folks are in a deep red republican county and still came out to exercise their First Amendment rights!🫡 (had to give them a loop that matched their backbone!) @therealnews.com @wutangkids.bsky.social

This is what democracy looks like! Would you kneel to a king? Protesters at the #NoKingsDay march say absolutely not! These Maryland protesters in a RED county stand up for immigrants, here is the righteous fire of people pushing back against authoritarianism and aren't afraid to call it out by name

"I'm an introvert but I'm still here!" No Kings Day protest brought out thousands to one of the reddest counties in Maryland. #nokings @therealnews.com

In one of the reddest counties in Maryland over 2500 people showed up to peacefully protest Donald Trump and his authoritarian administration. I spoke to veterans, grandmothers, and one of the last of the old school Republicans all dissenting and making their voices heard #nokings @therealnews.com

Earlier protesters outside of city hall used city signs and furniture to create a barrier between themselves and police. @lataco.bsky.social

I'm not moving until they do.. I really do try to treasure these moments of peace-I know what a privilege it is. I just spoke to a friend incarcerated in the CO DOC.
