We elected DEMOCRATS to represent us. Most are NOT doing their jobs! We march, we call, we write. We need HELP from our DEMOCRATIC leaders in Congress. Only a few are MEETING the moment. ☮️💙💔

I always thought MLK’s ‘Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line “I may not get there with you.”

What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

Some of my #MLKDay cartoons.

Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla. She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldn’t be afraid.

“If you don’t give me the peace prize, I’m going to kill you all”, said no sane person ever.

So we are about to find out of the US Military will honor their oath's or follow Trump illegal Nazi orders to deploy in an American city against American citizens. Either Way the violence is about to go way up.

There’s too much time between now and the midterms. Either the military needs to not follow his illegal, unconstitutional, international law violating actions OR Congress needs to STOP him.We are at a breaking point. #impeach #military #coup #endthis Military leaders, please stop this madman!

And most importantly: you can fight the good fight that’s right next to you. Because we all are connected . Because in the end we are fighting the same fight.

Former friends and estranged family members are MAGA. I hope they are reachable, but only time will tell. All I know is that we need as many people as possible to wrestle our country back from these maniacs. www.editorialboard.com/can-liberals... @editorialboard.bsky.social

They will do anything to not be caught up in the Epstein files. No matter what lives are lost or who we have to bomb in the process. It’s simple if we find out the truth on the Epstein files the GOP and all of them are going down including the supreme court. DO NOT BE QUIET NOW

This is (*checks notes*) after a Federal District Judge ordered them not to use chemical weapons on observers. ICE is a collection of lawless, cruel, racist thugs. Defund them, and prohibit their non-elected federal employment for the next 20 years.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked by the cabinet. I’m all for pressuring them. Congressional Dems should lead the charge. Not on Bluesky or Threads. Let’s do it.

1/2 🧵Where can you watch Jack Smith's upcoming public testimony on January 22nd? C-SPAN typically broadcasts live congressional committee hearings like this. Major news networks (NBC, CNN, ABC, Fox News, PBS) generally carry or stream these hearings live or with live coverage segments.

I actually think running a sustained "grocery prices too high" campaign is smart and good politics but the way a lot of Dems are doing it - posting like "Trump promised to lower grocery prices but he let us down!" is specifically not effective

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara shook as he watched a video of ICE officers pulling a woman — a U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment — from her car. Her desperate plea to the ICE agents before they grabbed her: “I am an autistic disabled person and I'm trying to go to the doctor.”

MN & other locations: ICE believe they're above the law. A Fed judge just ordered that they cannot deploy chemical agents at peaceful protesters. Again. Even if all you do is go to a hardware store & get a very good dust mask & goggles, it will help. Also, it'll make you unidentifiable. Like them

Is it fine if most of world is asking if the president of the United States is insane?

Schumer has always been trash on foreign policy and continuing to expect him to be less trash is what is truly quixotic

Gee if only the USA had like an amendment to get rid of obviously demented presidents I mean it could have been invoked at least a dozen times already

In the face of hatred, Dr. King inspired us to build a society filled with hope, kindness, and love for our neighbor. Together, we must continue to work to enact his vision of equal opportunity for all.

A 12-foot version of Trump’s birthday message to Epstein is currently being displayed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

I'm beginning to hope NATO countries will come help us, American citizens! God knows the guardians of our supposed checks and balances won't stop the MAD KING and his regime! I bet the people of Greenland must feel a huge sense of relief seeing EU troops arrive on their soil. #EpsteinFiles #NATO

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

⚡️Ukraine's SBU captures Russian soldier suspected of executing 9 Ukrainian POWs in 2024. "We will find every Russian murderer," President Volodymyr Zelensky said after announcing the arrest. The Russian soldier allegedly shot nine Ukrainian POWs in Kursk Oblast in October 2024.

ICE illegally grab a city snow plow driver: "He was detained because of his country of origin. He had every federal authorization. We do a criminal background check of all federal documents." Sent 1,000 miles to Texas with a serious medical condition. (From Fox 9)

At about the 35-second mark the officer says "IF YOU FUCKING MOVE I'LL FUCKING TASE YOU," followed immediately by "GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR RIGHT NOW." Which contradictory order are you supposed to follow, knowing that either could get you tased? Or worse? bsky.app/profile/petr...

For those saying “oh but the cabinet are all sycophants.” Yes. We know. It’s called PRESSURE. You pressure the system until something gives. Micro cracks in the wall until some bricks start to come loose.

I thought this was a nice explanation. I will have to remember to repeat this when my MAGA mother calls again.

This.

Minneapolis AFL-CIO and several Minnesota labor bodies have called for a General Strike on Friday to protest ICE's occupation of the city. Solidarity actions are planned in several cities as the movement could go national. paydayreport.com/minneapolis-...

Couldn't care less if Thread has a billion users and Blue Sky has 1000. I just need a steam vent where I can release whatever dumb jokes and observations enter my brain without contributing to the financial success of Musk or Zuck. Give me 2-34 likes on every one of these and I'm good.

Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US—a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, Bloomberg reports. Deutsche Bank analysts warn Washington’s key vulnerability is living off global financing—and Europe may decide it no longer wants to bankroll the U.S.

Look up piece of shyte online. You'll see this

Hi Humans, God here. Regarding Greenland, God has a question for thee. WHERE THE FUCK IS CONGRESS?!?

Every day this goes on, those elected and appointed officials who have the power to stop this insanity, yet choose not to are generating evidence of their misdeeds for future prosecution. If democracy survives, there needs to be an accounting. Consequences.

🚨"I'm a 72 year old Army veteran...those entities, wearing all black looked like the bloody gestapo!" -ICE protester tells @JTCestkowski about ICE terrorizing Minneapolis. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Please do not refer to this "Board of Peace" as a UN-like entity. It is a Mar-a-Lago Club / Rose Garden Club inspired membership with ONE person collecting fees, ONE person being in charge with neither citizens nor leaders having ANY say about anything. Let's keep our heads on a swivel. Please.

One of the first & most alarming cases of the Trump Admin targeting Democrats is its prosecution of NJ Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, who faces up to 17 yrs in prison for allegedly assaulting ICE agents in her district. In this week's @newyorker.com I investigate: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

My new piece is up! open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

PLEASE PLEASE Jack Smith have lots of SHORT and CONCISE responses that include the facts that tie Trump to Russia. Please don’t pull a Mueller or Hakeem Jeffries. Don’t ramble. Don’t let them talk over BE LOUD! Have SHORT CONCISE answers.

EVERYONE watch Jack Smith’s back …. He must be protected especially with the upcoming public testimony before Congress next week. This is a very good American man who wants the truth out there. He and his family deserve full protection.
