The reality is the entire planet is trapped in Peaksville, and standing up to the all-powerful manchild carries the risk of him sending every living thing on earth into the cornfield out of spite:

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

Why do people hate Democratic Socialism when it so clearly works? You just tax a few obnoxious, power-mad billionaires (Musk, O’Leary, etc.) and make life better for millions. CAN I GET A FREAKING AMEN? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

This is insane. This single data center is twice the size of Manhattan, and takes up more power than Utah CURRENTLY MAKES. This single data center WOULD BE SEEN FROM SPACE if built. UTAH, DO NOT LET THEM BUILD THIS THING.

This post really needs more reposts. Nat is doing revolutionary work and I really do believe she should be known everywhere.

ICE Launches Door-to-Door Sweeps in NJ

“The Reflecting Pools in Washington, D.C. were designed for one purpose: reflection. They are supposed to mirror the beauty, dignity, and symbolism of the monuments around them. They were never intended to look like a chlorinated Olympic swimming pool where you can count pennies on the bottom.”

"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

“Israel is now a madman. It's mad.” “It didn’t get its way with Iran, and so it's flailing now, it's in a state of catatonic lunacy.” ”... Lebanon is being totally destroyed now.” “[Israel]'s not just a lunatic state. It's a lunatic society.” — Norman Finkelstein

Ya know, we don't start out seeing each other naked & then decide if we like each other from there when pursuing romance. We meet fully clothed, we get to know each other, & when we like each other we're pretty much gonna roll with whatever's under the clothes. So we don't need body insecurities.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

As a lawyer, I’m normally loathe to endorse breaking rules But Trump ignores the rule of law, Republicans cheer him on and the Supreme Court says it’s legal Now women lost their abortion rights, Black people are losing their voting rights and nobody can afford gas It’s time to break some rules

Today, I saw Spark at the Free Street Theater. Free Street's youth ensemble (pictured here w me) engaged with Let This Radicalize You and interviewed 20 activists to create this show, which is a reflection on political activation and the treatment of young people. www.eventbrite.com/e/free-stree...

I found this and it may bring a smile!🙂 This is called the "feather-drying dance of the Great blue Heron"

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

A country where such a thing as Dilley Detention Center can exist but equal representation cannot is an inherently violent and white supremacist country. It is certainly not a democracy.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Six months ago, the federal government indicted me, my friend Andre, and four others for protesting ICE. Our trial is this month and we are facing up to $250k in legal debt. Please help us win our case and protect all of our rights by donating to our legal defense: tinyurl.com/katandre

Yup. Your job as regular person is not to parse whether particular policies are 'realistic' or 'possible.' You are supposed to actually demand what you need to live a dignified life.

They’ve been waiting for this since 1965.

Justin Jones. Your name will be in history books.

People are comparing this photo to the 60s when most of you were actually alive in the 2020s when young Black people have essentially had to confront white cops in this same way.

“If the flowers are not accepted, these pastors still plan to write letters to the moms who are in custody—and they will display the flowers, outside of the courthouse and detention center—so that they at least raise awareness.”

Let’s go Oregon!

California, Illinois, New York, Colorado, Maryland, Oregon, and New Jersey should wipe every single Republican in their congressional delegations. The rules are whatever Republicans can get away with. We can win or play fair, I know which one I’m picking.

Anyway, get to ground. It's always my *advice* [when I offer any]. Get hyper local. Find your people and fight where you are. This is where you can make the most impact and a real difference. Do this as much as you can, take care of yourself, and take care of your people.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

With the $210 BILLION Republicans want to give ICE & CBP for their campaign of terror, we could: Extend healthcare tax credits Reverse SNAP cuts Fund Head Start Expand housing assistance Fund free universal preschool Fund free school lunches & more We must invest in our people.

Never never not love this

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 we are so effing stupid in this country.

The books we read as children shape the readers---& people!---we become. Stop demeaning kidlit. Stop acting like anything meant for children is "lesser." Stop acting like children themselves are "lesser." I am THIS close to screaming incoherently in the face of anyone who does this from now on.

The last time I filled up my car, I thought about many things. None of those things were related to sharing a bathroom with a trans person, a mom buying a birthday cake using SNAP, or whether the guy in front of me in line was documented. Fuck off, MAGA. And take your Pedo President with you.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

When someone has a 63% disapproval rating and goes to a Yankees v. Tigers baseball game. Sound up:

They spent at least $50 BILLION over 2 months to bomb people in Iran. I don't want to hear a single thing about what can and cannot be funded in this country. Ever. The End.

I do wish people would use FREE Healthcare instead of AFFORDABLE. WE desperately need to unshackle our political demands.

Really fascinating thread 🧵 🪡

This is one of the silver linings I am hoping for on a global level after this whole disastrous deadly fiasco is over.

If your loved one has been detained by ICE, call my office at 503-231-2300. We will show up for you. We have facilitated the release of more than a dozen Oregonians wrongfully detained by ICE and won't stop fighting for our community members.
