Ukraine is under russian missile attack right now. The alert is spreading

LA RESIDENT: “The cruelty is staggering. People are hiding in their homes from the federal government like Anne Frank. If you’re a Christian and you’re still supporting this you’ve lost your mind. You’re not gonna get a job because of what they’re doing. Absolute brutality.”

ICE raids are impacting grocers and restaurants. Markets that supply produce for restaurants as well as the public are seeing their produce rotting. There’s no one to buy, sell nor deliver. The public is afraid. Businesses may wind up closing and prices will skyrocket. This will be nationwide. /

NY Governor says what she really thinks.

“We are not criminals. We are human.” He lost his job. His home. He is on the street. A young girl with cancer stands beside him, with little time left. This is what Trump’s hate does. It destroys families. It destroys lives. We must stand up and demand better. #Voices4Victory

Whatever happens in the coming days/weeks, just remember that these sociopaths claimed up and down they’d never drag America into another war.

This is fascism in action.

Fellas, it’s been almost two month 😓 We still can’t close this fundraiser. Not much left to raise to get night vision device, let’s do it🤧

I'm floored. This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today. This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points. The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed. There will be no kings.

Northern Virginia stands with Ukraine at #NoKings!

This is police inciting violence at a peaceful protest. Note how the people weren't doing anything and the police chose to escalate and start violence.

Kristi Noem, Dr. Phil, and ICE went to this woman’s home in Huntington Park, CA at 6am to make a spectacle and you want me to be satisfied with @governor.ca.gov flowery words? Watch. It’s disgusting. Noem belongs in prison.

Powerful statement by Sen. Alex Padilla. Please notice that anytime senators or representatives try to conduct oversight, they’re blocked. In this case, a sitting US senator was tackled to the ground and handcuffed—for asking a question. Where the hell has Chuck Schumer been on this?

Efficient resistance means pushing back against fascism & pressuring it both on the streets as in the court rooms. Scenes from Tucson Arizona where protestors cornered Trump regime ICE troops, sprayed them in self-defence. Protestors kettled ICE & used their own riot control methods. #3E #StopICE

This is what American fascism looks like.

“He said he will target & punish those who disagree with him or refuse to bend to his will. He calls these Americans ‘The Enemy Within’, and says he would use the American Military to go after American Citizens” — Kamala Harris. She Was Right About Everything.

@erinburnett.bsky.social why are you lying?

Shocking: A Ukrainian soldier has revealed the scars on his body after Russian captivity—showing severe mutilation and a burned-in inscription reading “Glory to Russia”. These images expose the brutal treatment endured by Ukrainian POWs.

Useful info for difficult times-when you wish to use your voice, but want to also be cautious. Thread #1

No thrones. No crowns. No kings. Join us in hitting the streets next Saturday, June 14 as we reject the President's taxpayer-funded birthday parade and corrupt display of strongman politics. #nokings #dayofaction Visit thirdact.org/act/no-kings to learn more. 📷 @thirdactmd.bsky.social

NOW: NYPD officers randomly charged into the crowd and tackled a protester. Three or so cops began dogpiling him, earlier he was just standing next to me. His condition appears to be severe as he reports he can’t feel his head nor his legs. Cops may have broken his knee.

Abolish ICE

Day 190 of uninterrupted #GeorgiaProtests "Down with Russia's rotten Empire!" This expression from the times of Georgia's 1980s liberation movement gained new momentum as regime MP Mariam Lashkhi had two student activists jailed for crying this out to her. 📷 Lado Nafetvaridze

Shrapnel, drones, and mines leave Ukrainian faces torn apart. But these doctors help rebuild them. 🧵 1/8 ⬇️

OTD in 1996, as per the Budapest memo guaranteeing their territorial integrity, Ukraine handed their final nuclear warhead to Russia. They also gave heavy bombers (Tu-22) and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles. Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war

Saba Baghdavadze has been jailed for 30 DAYS over launching A SINGLE FIREWORK at the daily protest on May 23. Judge Manuchar Tsatsua. #terrorinGeorgia

She was doing her job. ICE is making things up so they can continue their transformation into Trump's Gestapo.

Russia is increasingly recruiting Ukrainians for sabotage operations in the West This tactic that allows agents to appear less suspicious while simultaneously generating propaganda benefits euromaidanpress.com/2025/05/17/c...

Mahmoud Khalil is still in deportation detention for (in Rubio's words) *having anti-Israel beliefs*....... Trump imported a white anti-semite from South Africa. 👇archive of the now-deleted tweet

Popular progressive streamer Hasan Piker was detained by CBP and questioned for hours about his politics www.usermag.co/p/hasan-pike...

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.

HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was just taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center

The 16-year-old was dragged away and arrested by Worcester PD because she kicked the car ICE was holding her mother in as her mom was taken away. The day earlier, ICE had taken her dad as well.

Happy MEGOBARI DAY to all of my friends in Georgia!

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

The National Endowment for the Arts withdrew and canceled grant offers to numerous arts organizations around the country, sending a round of email notifications out just hours after Trump proposed eliminating the agency in his next budget.

Fundraiser is moving slowly, still need €260 to get a pickup😢

laying the groundwork for open defiance of judges
