Basically the plan has to be treat ICE like the Stasi after the wall fell. Release who arrested what and why. Prosecute illegal arrests. Revoke pensions and put on a list to prohibit federal contracting and employment.

I will turn 50 this September. I was born in 1975, and I represent the only generation of American women born with full rights that have been lost in the same lifetime. My generation has witnessed anti-progress. A cultivated backpedal. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

I was literally taught my whole life that if someone in plain clothes and a mask tries to detain you and refuses to identify themselves, you call 911 and you’re absolutely within your rights to not comply for safety reasons. What’s happening is kidnapping. Full stop.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

We will have to do the work that we failed to do after the Civil War and the second world war, in that we will actually have to hold powerful fascist to account and they will have to be tried and dealt with in whatever way we see fit as they can never walk free on this planet again. All of them

The rule of law lives or dies on our willingness to act—occasionally with grim resolve. It’s time for people who value justice to screw their courage to the sticking place. https://trib.al/WuK9HS5

About 350 people showed up in West Brookfield, MA, a town of about 3500! #NoKings

"In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained." Y'all ready to get going on this General Strike thing yet?

Something I wish liberals - and, for that matter, a lot of leftists - would internalize: The goal is not to out-argue, disprove, fact-check, debate, or point out the inconsistencies or hypocrisies of fascists. The goal is to defeat them.

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

All active duty military: YOU HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE. Everyone in the media: YOU HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE. Elected officials: YOU HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE. History, and the world are watching.

If anything, Gavin Newsom needs to reclaim Commander-in-Chief authority over the California National Guard and specifically command them to PROTECT protesters against any militarized presence he did not request or authorize.

I don’t know how else to explain this…if you’re cheering for someone else’s rights to be taken away, you’re cheering for your own to disappear too. This isn’t cake. You don’t get more by refusing to share. Either everyone has rights, or no one really does. Thats it. It’s simple.

Keep fucking sharing

When having a Karen in the community is good! #impeachtrump

Dear Rest of the World, do not come to the USA on vacation. Come at your own risk. You have been warned!

BREAKING: Police were CAUGHT ON CAMERA destroying their own squad cars to frame protestors — and your government still calls them “heroes.” Nah. These are operatives running psychological warfare against the public. This is fascism in plain sight.

ICE ALERT FOR COLUMBUS, OH 🚨

The best tool we have to make these horrors stop is work stoppage. The oligarchs power is built on their wealth, and that wealth comes from our work. When we withhold our labor their power crumbles.
