This museum reveals more about modern America today than anywhere else.

#ResistanceEarth #BlueEarth Pressure is working. Keep it up.

*screams*

Ukraine did what he asked; Russia did not; and now he will blame Ukraine and cozy up to Russia. This whole peace thing is a distraction from the ongoing war that Ukraine has no choice but to fight because it is being asssulted every day.

Some photos from today's gathering. Despite the near freezing temperature Colorado Springs showed up again! #coloradosprings #50501Movement #Indivisible

Lauren first shared her story last month, calling the Trump administration’s invocation of the xenophobic wartime law to deport people to prisons in El Salvador without any due process, “an assault on our fundamental freedoms.”

BREAKING: A federal judge has found probable cause for criminal contempt by this contemptible criminal.

Chicago rejects fascism and calls for the fall of the Trump regime. (📷 @chewieartist.bsky.social ) #3E #FiftyFiftyOne #EndImpunity #EndOligarcy #EndAutogenocide

GREAT IDEA: We should deport any criminal with more that 30 felony convictions.

LFG !!! #StrongerTogether

I don't know who needs to hear this but indigenous people have the same rights as everyone else and it's time to stop pretending they don't‼️ Just because you coveted their land, and stoled it doesn't mean it wasn't their land

There should be a whole delegation of fucking congressmen and women joining Van Hollen. Will he bring citizens? I’m sure there are thousands of us that would like to go with him. 👊🏻

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

When Trump said he wanted El Salvador to build five more super prisons it’s for exactly this reason. The far right and the fascists have spent a decade using the amorphous signifier of antifa to label anyone that opposes them as a terrorist and now that will be used to disappear anyone they please.

Anybody else watching Rachael @maddow tonight??? 🤨🤨😟😟😵😵

Social media platforms need to be REGULATED. Imagine if Meta and Twitter were actually held accountable for radicalizing Americans… EXCELLENT conversation you DON’T want to miss:

This week’s #resistance heroine: Col. Susannah Meyers, leader of Pituffik Space Base in #Greenland. #Pentagon fires Greenland base commander for refuting JD #Vance’s remarks. Another female officer fired under the Trump regime. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Timothy Snyder’s 20 Lessons on Tyranny remains essential. Lesson #10 hit me hard: “To abandon facts is to abandon freedom.” I wrote a short reflection on why that’s the heart of my project. The love of truth. The defense of coherence.

Professor Timothy Synder says we should concentrate our protest in front of Congressmans offices. I agree.

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

So he resigned because he did not want to do shit that was unethical, unconstitutional, and illegal. Which is the requirement of this entire administration. #revolution2025

NEW: Democratic attorneys general in 19 states argued in a new lawsuit against President Donald Trump Thursday that his broad elections executive order violates the Constitution by attempting to wrest control over elections from the states. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The worst news of the week. "The U.S. Senate confirmed Harmeet Dhillon, a veteran lawyer with a history of attacking voting rights, to lead the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“If you’re a law firm being threatened, you might have to say, ‘We might lose some business because we stand for a principle,‘” the Democratic former president said. www.syracuse.com/politics/202...

While doing some research, I stumbled across this great listing of YA books on Japanese internment in WWII, which feels like good reading for today's kids, so, I'm sharing. densho.org/catalyst/you...

But I am, we told you so.

Newsweek: "MeidasTouch Network has continued to attract new subscribers since the president's second term began, becoming the fastest-growing political channel on YouTube in the first quarter of 2025."

Wisconsin Supreme Court win was key to defending voting rights and democracy. Musk spent 25 million dollars to try to enforce Trump’s dictatorship. But Crawford and democracy won by 10 percent in a swing state amidst record voter turnout.

Good Morning🥰 What can I say? CORY BOOKER ROCKS❣️❣️🙌

How could anyone in the military possibly believe the Trump administration cares even a whit about their safety And why would any country share sensitive information with a country that continues to prove it won’t-or can’t-keep that information secret

As a Missouri resident, I could see everything that’s happening coming a mile away because they already did it to my state. Defunded schools, kicked kids off Medicaid, refused the will of voters, attacked marginalized communities, and sold off farmland to foreign companies. We knew.
