For the love of god stop telling people you are going to protest on social media, just go. Paper trails are for narcs and suckers.

if you think every voice actor is a millionaire, you are not immune to propaganda and would not survive the winter, sorry.

Being Antifascist means opposing the gambling industry!

Absolutely, and we should have made pariahs out of the repellent public figures whose response was to make jokes and take pot shots at Pelosi and other elected Democrats.

this is just good advice in general

Look out for narcs in the crowds, people snapping a lot of pictures, shut down the narcs who start instigating shit and if the pigs start to coordinate, keep your head on a swivel

This feels like one of the bigger and most acute escalations of political violence I can remember, and it is not lost on me that this gunman basically just did what ICE is doing everywhere. Pound on door, feign authority, destroy a life.

If you are arrested today protesting the Trump administration in Illinois, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

Goal: Be obscene. Be headturningly huge. So big it puts 90s off season mass monsters and WSM competitors to shame. Need help with certain things big. Stop the conversation in a room when I walk in big. So big people gawk. Talk to my partner about my size like I’m not there. Just total size freak

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

you ever think about how in 2009 DHS released a report about the growing threat of violent domestic terrorism from the right and then Republicans got so mad about it the DHS secretary resigned?

And Rufo saying *THIS WEEK* that they needed to use unmarked vans to take progressive leaders off the streets normalizes the violent unaccountability. This is exactly what he’s been trying to incite.

I’m going to go back to doing new cute sketches Ill do what I can to put happiness into the world🌸

Dear News Networks: The term for a “targeted politically motivated shooting” of a currently serving legislator is “Assassination.”

Today your first protest/march? - Turn off location services on your phone - Turn off facial recognition on your phone - Mask up - Bring lots of water - Travel with a friend if possible!

What happened in Minnesota is a direct consequence of the violent way that Trump talks about his political opponents.

I feel so many things, but mostly, I feel just an absolute wave of sadness for the evil that is taking over this country.

This sentiment is shared by all cops And they have shown they do not need you to throw a brick. Kneeling and laying prone on the ground is enough for them to kill you

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

Three things to remember b4 your protest: 1.) wear a mask 2.) turn off face unlock and put phone in airplane mode. 3.) for the love of pete do not take pictures of other protesters unless they are ok with it and explicitly say “yeah let’s selfie.” Be safe. Look out for each other.

Become ungovernable

If this is not fascism, I don't know what is.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

And today's shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers--both Democrats--makes it clear that democracy is under attack.

Dont forget to blur faces as irreversibly as is feasible.

I have never in my life cared about someone’s immigration or citizenship status and nothing you say to me will change my mind on that. If that is a problem, you are free to go.

A friend just texted me from LA that this was happening at the park she was at

The suggestion that Kristi Noem, a white woman, is the "delicate, beautiful, tiny" victim after a Latino man is physically dragged out of a room fits into the admin's pretext of criminality it attaches to people who are not white. Like Rep. LaMonica McIver.

It's the weekend, baby

My coworkers in Florida and Texas are going. Friends in L.A. have been on ICE’s neck for days and are ready for Saturday. And in the words of Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel “we must choose sides. silence only helps the oppressor.”

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

If you’re American you should attend a No Kings protest tomorrow. Below are great safety tips. Also do NOT rsvp directly to protests, stay anonymous, and check local law enforcement notices for any banned protest items. Many common protest items are now cause for arrest in LA.

Keep an eye out this weekend for outside agitators like the Proud Boys showing up at the No Kings Protests! They will try to incite violence and blame it on the left as they did during the George Floyd protests.

It is pretty bad that this guy literally cares more about another country’s politics than his own

Josha deserved more than ever as a lead actor, his Emmy! Give Josha a damn fucking Emmy for his performance! #Thewheeloftime

This is also a notice because they got my boy @jxsxpx.bsky.social and now the account has me blocked. And my spooky bro would never. So if you get any weird messages from him, watch out.

Interrogate who is telling you that creatives don't need collective bargaining because they're already SO RICH and lucky to be working in the arts at all. Fight for the continued existence of Unions so they'll be there to protect you when you're in a position to join.

Ah, so they’re already at the point where they don’t feel the need to use the “thousands of criminal immigrants” narrative anymore. Just “socialists” will do.

Biden and Obama’s legacies will just be Donald Trump

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

And we elected a fascist climate science denier who is making this worse

We need to have some goddamn fight in us.
