I'm not sure who turned my words into a meme, and included U.S. citizens (most of whom do not want a new war!), but I appreciate how many people are connecting with it. May all of us, in all of our different situations, somehow help bring the justice this world so desperately needs. 💔

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

Last night when my kiddo shared concerns about this bombing causing WWIII, I told him that the US has bombed several countries before, including Iran. I hate that my reassurance was essentially, “This is the violent US doing business as usual.” Who am I really trying to reassure?

160 years later, we’re still trying to make freedom a reality for everyone. Because as our beloved ancestor Fannie Lou Hamer taught us, “None of us are free til all of us are free.” #juneteenth #juneteenth2025

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

Hey! Honestly, I'm surprised there is not more fanfare about everything that went RIGHT for #NoKings over the weekend. Let's give some credit where it's due. How 'bout a thread.

Black folks, Native folks, and many other folks who white folks steady ignore and bury HAVE SAID that this regime wants two things, badly: 1. Re-segregation 2. Slavery And... this is how it is actually happening presently. Please understand what Trumpers mean by M A G A.

How do I tell @bsky.app that I am utterly disinterested in Taylor Swift (unless she’s doing something to upset the Trumpsters) and I do not want her feed in my search suggestions?

Our Democracy is being threatened daily and we all need to do our part to protect it. Find a No Kings protest for Saturday here: www.NoKings.org And if you can't make it, spread the word to others. #ResistTrump

🧵Been thinking about the Trump Regime end game. What is the MAGA GOP really working toward? It’s not just cruelty. It’s control. And if we follow the pattern of their policies, the endgame looks chillingly close to eugenics (thank you @imanibarbarin.bsky.social) Let’s talk about it. ⬇️

This administration started giving construction contracts for new detention centers as soon as they came in office. This is about legalized slavery.

I’m delighted to be included on this non-AI generated list. And being mentioned along with “Remarkably Bright Creatures” feels like I just won an award.

This morning I overheard some conversations in my water aerobics class that put some things in perspective. There was no teacher so people were chattier than normal. A group of older White people were talking about Trump. I was trying not to listen.

This clip has me thinking about people finally taking Trump's ownership of the narrative, enforced by the massive GOP media advantage, seriously. Fox et al want people to believe LA is burning, terrible, overrun. LA has a lot of people who are pretty good at communicating, who can show otherwise!

The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

I grew up in the Deep South and I'm going to hold y'alls hand to say this... There's not a group in this country that feels more entitled to Black labor than white liberals. They NEVER miss an opportunity to ask us to fix some shit that we ain't break.

But none of that will happen.🤷🏿‍♂️ Because in the US, we have absolutely no authority to hold cops accountable for this stuff. Because both Dems and GOP like having a police force that can crush Black protest without accountability. Like I said, racism is just fascism practiced on Black people first.

Gonna start calling late 2019 to mid 2025 as “The White Feelings Era” as everything that’s happened has been in response to a multiracial coalition asking the state to maybe not brutalize a minority population (as inequality heats up)

🚨Another HUGE bit of news tonight; in collaboration with the Trump admin, Texas just kicked 20,000 undocumented college students — people who grew up in Texas and graduated from high school there — out of eligibility for in-state tuition. This may force thousands to drop out.
