There's a time for nice speeches, and there's a time for deploying every single procedural tactic within one's power to make life hell for unrepentant fascists.

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

This is a sad and frightening state of affairs. This administration will stop at nothing to keep elected officials from doing our jobs and demanding accountability for our constituents. We’re seeing it in real time: they don’t want oversight they want total control.

As soon as I watched the videos of this, I called the district and DC offices of all three of my federal people and didn’t hold back my anger. 10/10 would recommend.

So ICE is now more powerful than a sitting US senator? I hope every democrat congressperson stands up for their colleague and demands accountability for what happened to Alex Padilla. They won’t but I wish they would.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

The wizard is snuggled into his bed, reading a poem about love. The little cat is curled up above his head, on the pillow.

The wizard's pajama robes are set on a little table next to the bathtub. He carefully steps into the bath. It is just the right temperature and the bubbles smell of autumn leaves.

The indictment of Congresswoman McIver by the U.S. Department of Justice is an outrageous and unprecedented escalation of the Trump administration’s intimidation campaign against those who refuse to do its bidding. Read our full statement: www.aclu-nj.org/en/press-rel...

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

Right before dawn, a red dragon brings a small bundle of letters and packages and drops them on the tower's roof.

They can’t police trans people’s bodies without policing cis people’s bodies, and they can’t police immigrants without policing citizens.

Don't listen to the people bleating on social media that "no one is doing anything." What they are actually saying is that THEY aren't doing anything. The reality is that folks are working in every corner of the world, doing so much to keep themselves and others alive, while building the future.

I'd like to stop hearing and seeing the phrase "this is not who we are" about things that constantly happen. Maybe try "this is not who we should be".

The wizard puts a very gentle heat spell on a pillow for the little cat to sit on.

“No civil police force could hold out against an irate and resolute population. The trick is not to let them realize that.” - Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

The wizard's pajama robes are set on a little table next to the bathtub. He carefully steps into the bath. It is just the right temperature and the bubbles smell of spring.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

“That child deserves our support,” @governorwalz.mn.gov continued. “Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Why then did you vote *today* to confirm Trump’s pick for Assistant Secretary of Defense, @kim.senate.gov? www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Everyone who supports and fights for abortion access should also support and fight for access to trans healthcare. Every body deserves autonomy.

The wizard casts a magic spell and all the trash cans in the tower are suddenly empty. Outside, a trash can fills up with all the week's trash.

The wizard checks the messages on his orb.

honestly think target could have just not done pride at all this year and it would have looked better for them than... whatever the sad beige shit they have is.

Travelling salesman. What's he selling?

The wizard gives the little cat a bit of fish jerky.

YOU ARE A TRUE WARRIOR. I AM PROUD OF YOU.

The wizard sleeps well. The little cat stalks an illusionary frog around the bedroom.

The wizard's pajama robes are set on a little table next to the bathtub. He carefully steps into the bath. It is just the right temperature and the bubbles smell of beeswax.

The little cat tries to go into the laboratory while the wizard is working with fire and is repelled by the wards.

Just like with masks, the opposition to vaccines from the right was never about mandates. They don’t want you to have choices. They want you to make *their* choice. And now they will force you to do so.

The wizard makes a hard cheese and arugula casserole with a pleasant, salty cheese.

NO WARRIOR CAN FIGHT ALONE. ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT.

Thousands of workers and students have signed to demand that CUNY: 1. Refuse to capitulate to authoritarian demands from the Trump administration 2. Provide free legal representation for any student or worker threatened with deportation 3. Keep ICE and DHS OFF OUR CAMPUSES!

As dawn breaks over the horizon, a large monster wearing a bronze fascinator ambles past the wizard's path, stops at their trash can, and eats the contents. It looks contented and moves on.

The wizard is snuggled into his bed, reading a novel about a international diamond thief. The little cat is curled up above his head, on the pillow.

The wizard's pajama robes are set on a little table next to the bathtub. He carefully steps into the bath. It is just the right temperature and the bubbles smell of lavender.

The little cat meows at the wizard. He meows back. The little cat looks offended.
