Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Remember that "everyone in the streets, immediately" moment? This was it.

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

Protests should not only express dissent but also serve as credible threats of sustained action, such as strikes, boycotts, or other forms of collective withholding to compel systemic change.

"The Department of Health and Human Services has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract with the company to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus"

NYC, it is happening here. ICE agents in plain clothes waited outside a courtroom earlier today to kidnap people. New Yorkers mobilized quickly to block them, but the NYPD, collaborating with ICE, aggressively broke it up and arrested people. See thread for more videos from @gwynnefitz.bsky.social.

"In other words, Democrats could respond to the waiver vote by paralyzing the Senate, and stopping the giant Trump tax bill from ever reaching the floor."

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

Trump admits he's been helping Russia

“What you are feeling is the disconnect between seeing that systems are failing, that things aren’t working … and yet the institutions and the people in power just are, like, ignoring it and pretending everything is going to go on the way that it has,” … www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-...

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

Harvard is offering free online classes around government and public policy. This is the knowledge you need to effectively resist fascism. I HIGHLY encourage everyone who follows me to take some. I started with U.S. Public Policy: Social, Economic, and Foreign Policies

Share this. With EVERYONE. Successful movements require multiple forms of action. Yes - prepare for a strike. But right now, today, tomorrow, for as long as you can, PRESSURE your reps. There needs to be a wave of dismay about this bill that can’t be ignored.

If you are just waking up, MAGA rushed a bill over night to strip 13.7M Americans of their health care, and transfer taxes from the bottom 10% of low-income people to the top 10% of billionaires. Calls for mass protests happening right now. #3E #StopTheBillionaireBailout

House Democrats have introduced hundreds of amendments in the last 24 hours to stop the GOP Tax Scam. Flood The Zone.

More than 10 hearings. Hundreds of stories. One message: the Trump-Musk plan to dismantle the government is already here and it’s hurting working people and local communities. The @deptofworkers.bsky.social report is your toolkit to fight back.

Tonight, our representatives vote on Trump’s ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL. #CallYourRep #VoteYesTonight #EndExecutiveOverreach #PowerToThePeople #ProtectOurCare #DefendDemocracy #VoteNo #MedicareMatters #NonprofitsUnderThreat #CallToAction

The 14th Street Busway has been a huge success! Now it's time for another one on 34th: "The idea is all but identical to the busway the department put in place on 14th Street in 2019, which led to a 24% speed increase on the M14 bus route." — @gothamist.com

Write your Senators opposing this bill. Crypto is a scam and should be banned, not regulated.

This is full nazi.

This was a terror attack against an LGBTQ+ focused IVF clinic.

Jeff Bezos once mourned Jamal Khashoggi in public—now the Amazon billionaire is making billion-dollar deals with his executioner, which reveals more about his values than any vigil ever could. More in Status: www.status.news/p/jeff-bezos...

Calls for General Strikes in the past decade have been known to stem from outside of unions, with little unity among the working class, therefore failing to come to fruition. But right now, there is nothing more important than solidarity. For both non-unionized and unionized workers.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just blocked Trump from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan immigrants without due process—for now. A 7-2 decision. Thomas and Alito dissent. The case is going back to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Running Man and Robocop were documentaries from the future. Capitalism delenda est.

i missed the 9th anniversary of me posting the first dasharez0ne image to the old twitter account (it was may 13, 2016) but thank you for reading my skeleton graphics, and it's somehow more fun than it's ever been to write these

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

We stand in solidarity with Vox Media Union members as they fight for a fair contract. Workers are fighting for better pay and workplace protections against AI and layoffs. It’s time for Vox Media to get serious and give their workers the dignity and respect they deserve!

Umm, no I don't think so. #GIRights #NationalGuard #UnlawfulOrders
