This country’s fascist dictator needs to dethroned immediately. His sycophants and enablers need to be put in prison with him. ICE must be destroyed and its gestapo agents unmasked and jailed. Israel’s genocide must cease. Violence is the only language these sociopaths speak - a major concern.

What Republicans are doing in response to the anti-ICE protests is EXACTLY what the Dakota Access pipeline company did in response to the 2016 protests at Standing Rock Those protests saw FBI infiltration & a $660 million judgment against Greenpeace Super important to be informed on these tactics

Along with abandoning DEI initiatives, Walmart has been quietly scaling back its promises to reduce its massive impact on plastic pollution and climate change—two crises that disproportionately harm Black and Brown communities. New from me:

@grassrootbeer.bsky.social on the hundreds of millions that Charles Koch funnels between his own organizations—not even including the money he spends on others: "In 2023, they exchanged $715 million amongst themselves." Check out our full conversation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9bT...

Charles Koch's fleet of organizations spent over $833 million (net) in 2023, yet another record, in an election off-year. 🧵 Read it @exposedbycmd.bsky.social: www.exposedbycmd.org/2025/05/22/k...

He's basically saying they're considering declaring martial law and suspending the Constitution if the courts continue to rule against them. This guy is seriously the worst of them all.

40% of ICE/CBP detainees have their belongings destroyed or (often) stolen by agents. Allegations of mental/physical torture, and sexual abuse of women, girls, and others targeted on the basis of gender have been rampant since ICE's inception in 2003. DHS's continued existence is untenable.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

I shouldn’t be surprised that the plainly conflicted and biased jurors of North Dakota sided with Energy Transfer and the wormtongues of Gibson Dunn over Greenpeace and 1st Amendment protest rights…but it’s still disgusting to see. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This case is about silencing dissent. It continues long-standing erasure of Native American rights, sidelining the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe—true leaders of the DAPL protest movement—while targeting anyone who dares challenge corporate billionaires & fossil fuels www.commondreams.org/opinion/big-...

Note the FIRE's rules about civil disobedience...attempting to be the arbiters of protest conduct, and portraying anti-genocide activists as particularly violent. The FIRE was silent about the hate crime that got Jonathan Yudelman canned at Arizona State, I'll note. None of this is surprising...🧵

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie. The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❤️

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
