I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

This is a dictatorial provocation: Trump took extraordinary action on Saturday by deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration protesters in California, making rare use of federal powers and bypassing the authority of the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom.

Next up: May 20th - 26th WALMART BOYCOTT 2 The various boycotts have an economic impact on companies who are bending to or support the current administration. Continue to speak with your wallet! Protest every way you can. Pushback matters. Resistance matters. Freedom matters. 💙 #resist #boycott

Daily task‼️ ❌WALMART BOYCOTT❌ ❌May 20 - 26❌ If you can, boycott Walmart and all MAGA companies FOREVER! Leave them feedback! 👇🏻 Tell them you’re boycotting because of their rolling back of DEI and their support of Trump. www.walmart.com/help/store-f... Alternative stores in comments.👍🏼 Share‼️

When they come for one of us, they come for all of us. On IDAHOBIT, we stand with our trans siblings. The fight against transphobia is the fight against all LGBTQ+ hate. We rise together or we fall divided. Let’s fight back. Together. Support our work at www.lgbthero.org.uk/donate-now

Prices too high? Can’t afford groceries or gifts for the kids? Donny’s only response: *“Deal with it.”* Because he doesn’t care about your family—he only cares about *Donny.* If it’s not making him richer or more powerful, it’s not his problem. #MomSky

List of items we've stocked up on over the months: pet foods and other pet supplies. OTC medications, medical supplies. Personal hygiene products. Cleaning products, laundry supplies, disinfectants. Batteries. Plastic trash, food bags. Imported foods (olive oil, spices, chocolate, & coffee)

This is how you do it. The "Mutual Academic Defense Compact". The moral imperative may be to fight... but the strategic imperative is to not fight alone: www.gazettenet.com/UMass-Amhers...

Love to see a university leaning hard on the expertise of their own faculty in such a pivotal moment. More of this please. #AcademicSky 🧪

Start with a simple question: Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia still alive? They abducted an innocent man and sent him to a violent concentration camp in a country he fled from due to violence. How we respond now determines how far they’ll go the next time, and every time after.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

So much terrible sh*t is happening that this isn’t the lede to the piece: “Erik Prince is pitching a plan to… avoid legal challenges by making part of CECOT American territory, then leasing it back to El Salvador to run.” I mean…

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

Gutting Medicaid will unequivocally lead to dead Americans, including children. And thousands of nursing homes will close; residents will be homeless, even those who pay out of pocket. No way any elected (or unelected) government employee would support this... Unless they worked for Putin.

Not in my name! This is absolutely revolting! 🇺🇦 The Trump administration is preparing to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s invasion, potentially putting them on a fast track to deportation, sources told Reuters. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Anyone who receives or helps someone receive abortion care, even if they access it outside of Montana, would face up to five years in prison. A similar effort to track women is underway in Missouri.

A newfound RESPECT for @maddow.msnbc.com for keeping it real about what’s going on at MSNBC and how she really feels about it. She didn’t have to say this, but I’m so glad she did. Take 2 minutes… (1 of 2)

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Ooh, I know: the Black guy and the woman. Not qwhite sure why, though.

WAKE UP!!!!! It's all FEAR PORN. How many transgender athletes are there in the U.S.? Out of 510,000 athletes competing at the collegiate level, there are FEWER THAN TEN who publicly identify as transgender, Charlie Baker, the N.C.A.A. president, said in January

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

So much hate. Good luck carrying forward the arts without the LGBTQ community. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

We know it’s bad, but this is the clearest explanation I’ve read so far. Share this with someone in your life who may not be tracking the decimation of the US government. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/doge-results-government-waste-scam/

BREAKING: NY Gov. Hochul just issued a new statement that the resignation of NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ top aides “raises serious questions about the future of this mayoral administration.” and that she’ll convene a meeting tomorrow to discuss the mayor’s future. She isn't ruling out removing Mr. Adams.

I find it absolutely ludicrous that the Ukraine-Russia peace "negotiations" are to occur in Saudi Arabia with Putin & Trump present, but not Zelensky. Although if I was Zelensky, I sure as hell wouldn't want to travel there; given the players involved, he'd never make it out alive.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
