To be clear (since NPR isn't), the "joke" is premised on the fact that Trump is kidnapping people w/o due process and shipping them to offshore concentration slave camps in defiance of court orders, human rights accordances, the U.S. constitution, all tenets of common decency, and international law.

Periodic reminder that the original head of Hillsdale College divorced his first wife to marry his mistress, an employee. While married to wife #2 he was alleged to have had an affair with his own son’s wife who committed suicide on campus. They’d prefer you not know all that though.

I painted Nicola today using a photo she shared on instagram. Oil on paper.

I’m still pissed - and gutted. The donor list for Trump’s White House ballroom felt overwhelming — like how do we even begin to protest this? So I broke it down into small, doable actions. If you’re upset too, here’s how you can push back — even in 5-10 min chunks. 🧵/1 #CollaboratorsList

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads. These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

🚨The Final count is in! Hands Off – April 5: 3 million No Kings – June 14: 5 million No Kings – October 18: 7 million Our movement isn’t backing down — it’s growing. ✊💜 #NoKings

A play in three acts

WSJ edit board spins a fantasy: "for Mr. Trump, while this is a moment of personal sadness, it is also an opportunity for leadership...he can help the country rise above this madness. He can say that this is the moment when the descent into political violence must stop.” Meanwhile — no, he can’t:

This is an absolutely deranged thing to say about a proponent of political violence and unfettered gun access who died from getting shot.

Jesus Christ. It's depressing how many of these I'd forgotten about.

@indivisibleggr.bsky.social @artfulactivist.bsky.social @everyonehateselon.bsky.social Beautiful day to protest at Tesla in Grand Rapids MI (9/8/25). We’re just reminding Elon that we have not forgotten all the damage he and DOGE have caused our government and our fellow citizens.

New from me: Thanks to the bravery of survivors, Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news this week. Trump is desperate to make this all go away, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. www.altrightdelete.news/p/epstein-su...

@indivisibleggr.bsky.social @artfulactivist.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com Kids are back in school, the weather is fall-like and resisters are continuing our protest efforts at Tesla Grand Rapids MI 8/25/25. Trump needs to go and #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

@indivisibleggr.bsky.social @artfulactivist.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social I forgot to post video from our Social Security rally (Grand Rapids MI 8/6/25) in support of SS workers and against cuts #HandsOffSocialSecurity #HandsOffMedicare #HandsOffMeducaid

@indivisibleggr.bsky.social @artfulactivist.bsky.social It was a beautiful day to show support for our veterans and workers at the Michigan Veterans Home in Grand Rapids MI. Consider joining us! Freedom isn’t free and our Vet’s deserve better than what this administration is doing.

@indivisibleggr.bsky.social @artfulactivist.bsky.social #TeslaTakedown We have not stopped our rallies in front of Tesla in Grand Rapids MI. Musk should apologize for breaking things he didn’t understand and spend his fortune fixing it!!

Are you following @indynextgen.bsky.social yet? This Indivisible group is located in West Michigan and they are the young people organizing some of the most creative protests around! #Indivisible #RESIST #Michigan

"My photographer got hit twice by less than lethal rounds and he's got blood on one of his arms and we just took off running with the entire crowd. It was absolutely chaotic."

This is just sick. via @ktla.com: Footage obtained by KTLA shows a young man crying, saying his mother had just been taken, and children and protesters running from tear gas that was deployed when a crowd gathered at an immigration raid at a Ventura County farm this afternoon

@indivisibleggr.bsky.social @artfulactivist.bsky.social Another successful rally at Grand Rapids MI Social Security office today. About 55 dedicated resisters showed our support for Federal Workers and demanded #HandsOffSocialSwcurity #HandsOffMedicare #HandsOffMedicaid Join us Wednesdays 12-1

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard from a Trump Cabinet Secretary, and when you consider some of the pure idiots that have served as Trump Cabinet Secretaries, that's really saying something.

Elon made the MAGA Murder Budget possible, and now it's gonna blow a hole in Tesla's financials. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas 🤷‍♂️ #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall electrek.co/2025/07/07/e...

@indivisibleggr.bsky.social @artfulactivist.bsky.social Resisters continue to turn out at #TeslaTakedown action at the local Grand Rapids Tesla dealership. Join us each Monday from noon-1pm. DOGE has to be disbanded!!

#GrandRapids supports veterans. And the batman.

LL Cool J, the hip-hop legend who was scheduled to co-headline the Wawa Welcome America concert Friday on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, announced Thursday night that he would not perform while the municipal workers’ strike was ongoing.

What is happening? Am I having a stroke or is he?

What?

That doesn't mean I've lost all hope or that I'm giving up. It does mean that I'm going to be more realistic about the nation I'm living in and raising a family in. And consider my personal and political life within the reality we're in rather than what I want us to be.

Tonight, on my walk, it hit me that I'm grieving the mythical promise of America. Even a year ago, I still took so much for granted about the future my children and I could have. I don't know what comes next, but I know we're not coming back from this, and there's no saving the current system.

🚨 NYT is now outsourcing to Nazis—and giving them anonymity!—its efforts to ratfuck the most promising opponent of fascism in the U.S.

@indivisibleggr.bsky.social @artfulactivist.bsky.social 50+ resisters were once again rallying at the Social Security office in Grand Rapids MI today! I’m so proud of the steadfastness of my fellow citizens in standing up to say #HandsOffMedicaid #HandsOffMedicare #HandsOffSocialSecurity

I just called my congressional rep John Moolenaar and they are answering this number: (202) 225-3561. Give them a piece of YOUR mind and ask him what they are going to do to take care of people in our district that will lose access to their healthcare and food assistance that so many rely on.

While we slept, Republicans jammed through a rule vote. Trump cut a deal with GOP holdouts, and they folded. Now the final vote is happening this morning. Jeffries is using his “magic minute” to delay and share the stories of people who will be hurt by this horrible disaster bill. Tune in.

@indivisibleggr.bsky.social @artfulactivist.bsky.social We had a small but dedicated group at the airport this morning! We could tell that people who may have no idea about Avelo and deportation flights were reading our signs. I forgot to take a few photos before the downpour! Next time!! Join us!

We know.

What happens when you have Ds and they vote for everything this administration wants?

Remember a few years back when there was that big moral panic about Chia's "Social Credit Score" and how that was just an unspeakable authoritarian power grab over its citizens? Well, the SCS was fake. Never seriously planned or implemented. But this? This is arguably worse... its real & it's now.

This is exactly right. Anyone voting for the spending bill is voting for higher energy bills and blackouts.

Join us Monday June 30 10-11:30am at the corner of Patterson & 44th St SE in Grand Rapids MI to let Avelo Airlines, the airport board and our electeds know that deportation flights of kidnapped friends & neighbors must stop!! #BoycottAvelo @indivisibleggr.bsky.social @artfulactivist.bsky.social

Crossing the border without authorization is a MISDEMEANOR. That's it. A misdemeanor. Let that sink in. Everything you are seeing happening, the beatings, the kidnappings, the troops, the masks, the unmarked vehicles... All justified by saying they committed a misdemeanor.

2am truth from your friend Senator Warren.

Hell yes!

Protest STOP AVELO AIRLINE from transporting I.C.E. abducted citizens in shackles. AVELO receives $millions in fuel tax subsidies. Gerald Ford International Airport, Grand Rapids Michigan. JOIN US EVERY MONDAY @ 10am outside the airport! #StopAvelo #StopICE

Lots on the big bullshit bill, but we won’t forget the things E-lon took away already. About 150 people in Ann Arbor yesterday came to the #crappybday party— this group sang 🎶 #teslatakedown #muskmustfall @teslatakedown.com

The president and vice president, like most Republicans, think it is good that a christian fanatic murdered an elected Democrat, and they pretty clearly hope there will be more murders.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...
