Wrote my *Democratic* Senator (Hickenlooper) about defunding & abolishing ICE/DHS in light of their fascist culture/abuse of power. I wrote because his offices don‘t answer their phones. His response is a diatribe about the need for immigration reform. Do not count on these people to save us.

Gonna step away from Bluesky a bit. Decided to erase the app on my phone & only access the site through laptop. It's become quite a time-suck without a purpose. I will use it to get caught up on the latest but I mostly just see the same influencers who suppressed effective action pre-Blusky. 1/

yes, people can change. it is their job to learn though. if they refuse to learn, then we have a choice: we can lay down boundaries and protect ourselves, or we can chase them to the ends of the earth trying to persuade them. i choose boundaries, the kind that remove oligarchs from power.

Really thoughtful piece by @msifry.bsky.social. Helpful for understanding why those of us organizing to get the Dem Party to fight back are meeting such resistance. theconnector.substack.com/p/why-dems-k...

and gallows

Stop assuming everything is about the Epstein files. They aren’t worried about those coming out anytime soon. Greenland is not a distraction. Carving up the globe, ending NATO, & paying debts to tech oligarchs is the main effort. The fight is now about preventing WW3 from going high-intensity.

I am going to repeat for the 3rd time that the people across the pond do not give a damn who you voted for. They just kmow Donald Trump is the president and threatening world order and by default, its your fault.

What #resistance to #fascism looked like almost a century ago. I see we aren't there yet.

All politics is personal

Gabbard and Ratcliffe fell for the oldest trick in spy world.

“We cannot normalize hitting icebergs”

Gave him the Mitt Romney treatment

A Minnesota citizen was asked about the abduction of Indigenous citizens and responded, “They’re attempting to complete the genocides they’ve already begun with these.”

“the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That…is fascism – ownership of government by an individual/group/by any other controlling private power.” Roosevelt

Re: Davos I am cheering for the Europeans who are figuring out that appeasing the deranged, power-mad Trump only leads to more demands and more trouble.

When entering the country or applying for certain jobs. Otherwise the correct answer is GFY.

Ugh. #Lavrov. #Greenland #Putin #NATO #Europe #Russia #Ukraine #Crimea #Trump #Krasnov #KGB #FSB #Kompromat #Epstein #RussiaIsATerroristState #UkrainianView #SlavaUkraini

Shit will get real when they abandon the dollar.

why just last month i wound up at the wrong place for the holidays after my parents forgot to update the group house calendar. oh how we laughed.

Answer: they are taught in churches.

Clear and unwavering, we know who he fights for and will support. So done with weak willed Dems.

Stop saying “don’t normalize ____” Start saying they are taking your freedom, your rights, and and your dignity away. And that once they’re gone, they won’t be coming back.

I hate that world leaders are comparing the size of their war planes. War kills people. War destroys lives and infrastructure. War costs tax payers billions. It is not a dick measuring contest.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

This.

Regime change means removing all of them now. They will kill millions to reshape the globe into a techno-authoritarian hellscape.

Maine's "Secretary of State Shenna Bellows over the weekend suspended the issuance of undercover license plates requested by the US Border Patrol." "You are not welcome here. You will never be welcome here." #Maine #USA #Transportation #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT… We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself. 📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

Such a thoughtful gift. A laptop. This russian once trained his body to commit atrocities in Ukraine. Now he will have to sharpen his nose work skills instead.

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

This Greenlandic Politician Is Right On The Mark!! 🎯🎯

I don't really agree with protesting in houses of worship, but whenever I tell MAGA people I think something they're doing is really bad and harmful they always tell me that they don't give a fuck. I learned that from them and at this point, I don't think I give a fuck either.

We must also accept that when we allowed him to ascend back into power, we forfeited the luxury of our insularity. It is no longer just about us. No longer about waiting until the next election to fix our politics. It is now regime change or millions die. We are out of time.

Pieces of shit 😠 #AnimalCruelty

The first paramedics were from Freedom House in Pittsburgh, PA.

I support the No Kings & anti-ice demonstrations but these protests are inherently defensive in their rhetoric while our electeds continue to speak in terms of policy outcomes. If we are going to win this fight, we must attack normalcy bias & begin making the case that we are no longer free.

We were raised on a movie version of America‼️

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.

💥 Action 💥: Stop buying these brands. Profits from every purchase go directly into Ronald Lauder’s empire, the same person behind Trump’s Greenland scheme: Estée Lauder, Clinique, MAC, Bobbi Brown, La Mer, Smashbox, Origins, Tom Ford Beauty, Aveda, Becca, Le Labo, Editions de Parfums Frédéric Mall👇

I am not delusional. If Kamala had won, we’d still be fighting the Dems to defund Israel. It’s just that we would be able to focus all our energy on that, and not also trying to fight to keep WWIII from happening, and stop our neighbors from being kidnapped, and stop the rampant spread of measles

REALLY need a jerk off emoji.

Good share

This is why you cannot talk it out with Nazis. They are always lying to exploit the moment. There is no such thing as common ground unless you submit to them.

They’re trying to deport witnesses to a murder by ICE guards
