I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

The Trump Administration wants us to think of Trump's racism as a character flaw grandpa sometimes sadly lets express itself too aggressively, when the reality is that the white nationalism is the governing, organizing logic of his administration that all Republicans are complicit with.

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

Congress cannot and should not fund a government that is acting like a paramilitary force and violating people’s constitutional rights.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

To repeat: Abolish ICE.

Governors and mayors and courts that do not take immediate action to stop ICE, to expel it from our cities and towns, to hold it accountable for its crimes, to ensure it works within the law, are failing at their jobs. It will require strength and confrontation and struggle. But it must happen.

We owe an incredible debt to the Minnesotans who are on the streets protesting and documenting what is happening.

Abolish ICE and primary any Democrat who wants to give a cent to these murderous thugs terrorizing American communities.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

The DJT regime has declared war on an American city. This isn't about protection. Or immigration. Or policy. Or crime control. It's about fear, violence, brutality, repression, and control. WE ARE ALL MINNEAPOLIS. Stand up and speak out.

Open BlueSky, & don’t know if I’m looking at footage of Iran or Minneapolis…

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

there is no coming back from this without prosecutions up and down the entire chain of command

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

I've been thinking about this child all day ... and my children. What is the country we will leave to them?

Arrest the murderer and arrest Bovino. Not complicated.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

The corruption in the Epstein files. The testimony of Jack Smith. Murder on the open seas. The five-year anniversary of January 6. THEY’RE STILL HERE Though they want us to forget.

America is a rogue and malevolent state and global bad actor

Reminder: Invading a sovereign nation is illegal under international law, as written in Article 2(4) of the UN Charter--a charter that the US played the key role in writing and which was enacted into US law on July 28, 1945. Trump is an international and US war criminal.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.

Did you know? About 4.5 million SNAP recipients are babies and toddlers under age 5. About 11.1 million SNAP recipients are kids aged 5 to 17 years, who need food for healthy growth, learning, & development. The federal government has the capacity to continue funding SNAP during a shutdown.

Who are the private donors funding the disgusting demolition of the East Wing of the people's house for Trump's $250M gilded ballroom?

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

#NoKings Bothell, WA

What a loss for understanding and improving the health of Americans.

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

A new study shows that receiving an updated COVID vaccine reduced people’s risk of severe disease and death in all age groups, regardless of immunity from prior infection or vaccination

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

We don’t talk enough about how racists and authoritarians are the ones who actually genuinely hate this country.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

Some critical context about Trump's troops to "war-ravaged Portland" that most folks don't know: Any conflicts there between protesters and ICE agents are happening because ICE agents ARE PROVOKING THEM (From that "radical left-wing group," the Portland Police Department) bsky.app/profile/mock...

Watergate-level high crimes and misdemeanors happening every day

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. “He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.” -Declaration of Independence

The cowardice of the elites is a defining feature of America in 2025

I don't know about you, but I love my country, and I love my children. Their birthright -- citizenship in a democracy that enshrined civil liberties like freedom of speech under the rule of law -- is seriously under threat. That's why I will be marching, for my the country I want my kids to inherit

A good time to remember that a whole bunch of us are getting together to speak out against this authoritarianism -- I used to say creeping, but it's really now just a full gallop -- on October 18. Join us www.nokings.org

What they've done to LA and are doing to DC they want to do to a city near you. We know this becasue they are saying it; and we know this because they just greenlighted $171 billion more for their secret police.
