Exactly as predicted, now that DOGE has scraped all your personal data from government agencies, it's all being given to Peter Thiel's Palantir. It was always going to be Peter, who has dreamed of dictatorship for decades, patiently built his "political project". 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

Again, Sean Duffy — a literal competitive lumberjack — is weirdly cosplaying as a dude too scared to ride the NYC subway, something done daily and safely by 3.6 million people, a number more than half his home state of Wisconsin’s entire population.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

we have so many problems that are really one problem whose only answer is “impeach, remove, imprison everyone involved in this administration.” i’ll be angry for the rest of my life that they had 4 years to rid us of this and fucked it up

Can’t stop thinking about this, from @hcrichardson.bsky.social : “In the United States, racism has always gone hand in hand with the concentration of wealth among the very richest people.” I so dearly wish all US peoples knew this. 1/2

RFKJr. is not a doctor or a scientist, he’s a batshit conspiracy theorist. Pretends to care about children’s health as he undermines access to lifesaving vaccines and ignores the #1 cause of death for children in the US (GUNS) as part an admin hellbent on leaving the planet uninhabitable for future.

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

Tom Homan, Acting Director of ICE, implied last week that he would begin arresting mayors and governors who do not cooperate with their unconstitutional ICE plans. They just arrested Ras Baraka, Newark's Mayor. This cannot stand. This is a direct threat to any possibility of democracy.

The Klan and ICE agents both wear masks. And they do so for the same reason.

I am once again asking Congressional Democrats to act as if we’re in the midst of a constitutional crisis.

Please spread the correct information about Mayor Baraka's arrest. He had apparently been trying for a few days to visit the ICE prison and was rebuffed. Then the members of Congress tried to visit today and were made to wait in the waiting area for 90 minutes. Then 20 ICE Gestapo showed up...

It's the "we're gonna arrest anyone who questions us or stands in our way" stage of fascism.

Awesome news! Let’s give it up for Ohio—every single library levy on Tuesday’s ballot passed, some by blowout margins. While GOP extremists try to slash $91M in library funding, voters showed up to say loud and clear: we believe in books, not bans. 📚 More here: tinyurl.com/OH-libraries

“She is in a class by herself.” ahem

@councilorkanal.bsky.social just popped up on the public hearing feed to testify strongly against SB 238.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

Here’s my issue: Trump is allowed to perform his greatest propaganda hits every single time with NO consequences. I’m not in the room, I can’t ask questions. But is there perhaps one person with a bit of dignity left to ASK a God damn question on ANYTHING? Not one? Sad.

Rachel does incredible work. Check it out.

The media shouldn’t say Trump is "downsizing" government. He’s purging workers, yes, but will the total end up lower? Or is it simply the creation of a patronage army? Also, he’s not downsizing the *power and reach* of government. He’s kidnapping people. He’s targeting judges, law firms, colleges.

First Germany, then Canada, and now Australia. Antifascists are making a global comeback.

"In 2020, [Portland, OR] approved building [middle housing] on lots zoned for single family homes... A new report from the City says, it's working. 1,400 new units built in just a few years and each one is $300,000 less expensive than a typical single family home." @nbcnews.com

RFK Jr must be removed from office. It’s literally a matter of life and death.
