This move is as blatantly Nazi — or Stalinist, or East German, or any dictatorship — as can be. When a government* not only turns on us, but tells us to turn on each other, it’s a regime. No regimes in America.

only "invasion" happening here is the swarm of transnational criminals stinking up D.C. #FixedTheirMeme #FathersDayThoughts

Just say no to the Gestapo.

I think all of us should stay on the streets at all time. Try and get us all you fucking fascists. Try and take us all alive.

Shame if people call 800-DHS-2-ICE and flood the toll-free gubmint snitch line to report Elon Musk.

Please, whatever you do, don't use this to call and report your MAGA neighbors. That would be mean and a waste of ICE's precious recourses.

I can report an entire WHITE HOUSE full of them:

#TACODon told ICE to "pause" raids on farms, restaurants, etc. Is the regime now going to retract this DHS directive to "snitch" on neighbors? (Press: ask K. Leavitt). Biz owners employing the undocumented are also law breakers. That means call the hotline to hold *them* accountable too, right? 🤔

It's bad when you think it is a joke - but it is real. I've had enough of Earth ll.

Happy Father’s Day. Whether you’re in Los Angeles, NYC, Chicago, or anywhere else in the US, stay inside if you’re not white, cis and Christian. This is real.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

The #dollar's crown is slipping, and fast‼️👇🏼 The dollar has sunk to its lowest in three years as rapidly changing #U.S. trade policy unsettles markets and expectations build for #FederalReserve rate cuts, fuelling outflows from the world's biggest economy. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Friends, the word “radical” comes from the Latin word meaning “root.” To be politically radical does not mean fringe. To be radical is to focus one’s attention on the *roots* of the systems that govern us, such as Capitalism. Fundamental, systemic change requires radical thinking and action. ✨🌲✨

How to Protest More Safely in the Age of Surveillance Law enforcement has more tools than ever to track your movements and access your communications. Here’s how to protect your privacy better if you plan to protest. via WIRED www.wired.com/story/how-to...

It is a US senator’s job and responsibility to question the executive branch. It’s called checks and balances. Trump has been trying to take away Congress’ power since he became President in 2017. Mike Johnson is helping him. This is why we march. #NoKings #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory

Let's all be very clear that ICE *and* regular cops refusing to identify themselves in any official or legible way is creating a situation that allows murderers and non-state kidnappers to successfully impersonate law enforcement. We had kidnappers do this in Philly this week in ICE costumes, too.

I don't want to hear another fucking word about graffiti.

The news about this morning's shootings in Minnesota has me on edge about right-wing violence. Whether you are protesting or just a lefty going about your lefty business (mutual aid, organizing, etc), be alert, know who you're dealing with, and know how you would exit any place that feels unsafe.

What’s wild about the current political use of “antisemitism” (as opposed to its actual instances) is it has nothing to do with Jewish people at all. So much so that an Italian sexual harasser can wield it against a Muslim who is endorsed by a Jewish candidate. It’s just all nonsense.

Different costume, same sentiment.

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

Gavin Newsom spoke yesterday about longtime migrant workers—parents, farm & construction workers, and kids left behind. None had records; many were taken at work. The Trump admin lied: families ARE being separated. This won’t make us safer—but it WILL hurt our economy and food supply.
