We see where Apple stands.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Nurses are pissed. This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "After today’s shooting, Minneapolis is filing a declaration to push for an immediate ruling on our temporary restraining order. We need swift action to protect our city. I’ve formally requested National Guard assistance to support our 600 Minneapolis police officers."

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

The Senate is supposed to vote on DHS funding next week. There shouldn’t be a single Democratic vote for it. Defund the whole thing.

Does anyone have this bystander’s video? Please share.

Ok Trump- Let's see yo do this!

People always say to me ‘You’re an artist - it must be lovely to paint all day’ - yes that would be lovely! Creating art is actually only a very small part of what I need to do each day (I wish it was more!) - so here is a typical days ‘to do list’!

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

The Civil Rights Division is going to charge a Black Man under the Ku Klux Klan Act on MLK day. Do I have that right?

I’m in Davos, Switzerland, to secure new trade and investment partners for Canada. Because Canada has what the world wants — we’re an energy superpower and a reliable trading partner, with the most educated workforce in the world.

Buddhist monks walk across America for peace. Columbia, South Carolina

Uniter @marikosegawa.bsky.social, thanks for this #WalkForPeace Timeline Cleanser 🕊️♥️🪷 May we all walk in the Light of Aloka, the Peace Dog and his monks towards good. via IG @alokathepeacedog, @walkforpeace.usa, @creativeabnormality

Aloka, the "Walk For Peace" dog that the Venerable Monks adopted in India, has a heart shape in his forehead! What better way to say Peace! Also, Love! ❤️ He rejoined the monks today in Charlotte, NC after a successful surgery on his leg! #WalkForPeace #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy

If you have been touched by the monks walking for peace. the peace you see in the monks is not something foreign, not something you must earn or travel toward. It is something you are remembering. When you watch them walk, when your breath slows without effort,

If God is reading the news correctly, the US government is deploying two army battalions to Minnesota to distract from their illegal non release of the Epstein files, is that right?

*whispers* *hey, most of the world, you know we should boycott the Olympics and the World Cup, right*

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery. While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

Nurses show up in our darkest moments. 9/11. The pandemic. Every illness and emergency. Their worth is not negotiable. Fair pay, safe conditions, dignity now. NYC stands with nurses and demands good faith bargaining for justice and care for all.

@aoc.bsky.social has this exactly right.

The White House says the Smithsonian Institution must submit materials about current and upcoming exhibitions and events for a review that will determine whether they express "improper ideology." n.pr/4583d8f

Even just that first paragraph hits too close to home, I'm afraid. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

How about you release the Epstein Files. Not a question, just a statement. #EpsteinFiles

The struggle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

The federal government Friday agreed to pay $125,000 after a judge found a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent liable for civil assault for pointing a gun at a hotel maintenance man who came to the agent’s room to unclog a toilet.

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.
