Incredible community showing of #AltCitizen actions. 18 year old was taken into ICE custody one day prior to graduation. This student has been in the country since toddler-age. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/m...

A reckoning is coming...

It’s striking how often hate toward Jewish Americans is met with silence. In a country that prides itself on justice and free speech, too many look away. Standing up against antisemitism shouldn’t be political—it should be moral. Indifference only fuels it.

I kinda remember there may be some amendment to the Constitution that might be relevant here. I vaguely recall it has kind of a low number and comes up high in the list

Love this Ohio!!! Keep it up!!!

Planned and executed over 18 months. Without a single leak. This is how competent government intelligence works. Learn felon taco.

Republican lawmakers in Texas recently advanced a bill to allow concealed guns at polling places. This move could increase the risk of violence in a state where election workers already worry about their safety. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

📌NOTE: DEI is about FAIRNESS not favoritism. That's not said near enough.

I remember

In #Ohio we are spreading the messages on over passes & bridges And we are getting THOUSANDS of impressions and a symphony of honking horns #VisibilityBrigade @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social

BREAKING: More than 1,000 anti-Trump protests are now planned for June 14th, Donald Trump's birthday. Are you protesting?

This bill "takes away the court's right to interpret and enforce the law. It says Government officials can violate court orders with impunity if no bond was posted, which is standard in public interest litigation."

"The Trump administration was not given a heads-up about the operation, an administration official told CNN." Duh. Telling Trump would have been like whispering the plans into Putin's ear.

Not good at all. “What we’re seeing is an attempt by the Trump administration to really dismantle a lot of the core tools that we use to ensure equality in the country” Discrimination cases unravel as Trump scraps core civil rights tenet - The Washington Post

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "In order to neuter the authority of the courts to enforce their orders, the Republicans put a provision in that makes it harder for courts to enforce their position, their orders, and therefore makes it easier for Donald Trump to continue his lawlessness."

#Kansas

Let’s do this thing everyone!!! Absolutely FUCK that parade. I have added a few screen shots from northern Michigan to Iowa, from the panhandle of Alaska to the red state of Kansas. Traveling? Plan ahead to make it to a place to join in! Carry American flags with you. Make your presence known!

If it’s Sunday, you know where I am (along with these other patriots)!#Centinela #TeslaTakedown @teslatdcentinela.bsky.social

I'm never 100% sure something is true until Donald or Elon denies it.

I ❤️ my city Fuck ICE

. Shutting it all down doesn’t mean chaos it means coordination. Imagine: families + neighbors linking up to share food, care for kids, rotate supplies, check on elders. We build mutual aid networks so nobody’s alone. This is how we survive together. 💪🏾 #ShutItDown #GeneralStrike .

Go, Boston!

. The choices are: We either do something. Or It gets worse. .

June, 2025 reminder: The GOP has full control of all branches of government. The “Big Beautiful Bill Act” is already spooking markets and the American people are slowly realizing this is not just a bill. This is a self inflicted economic nuclear bomb dropped on us (and the rest of the world).

An operation by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) using FPV drones smuggled deep into Russia and hidden inside trucks has hit 41 Russian heavy bombers at four airfields, dealing a major blow to aircraft used to launch long-range missile attacks on Ukraine's cities. kyivindependent.com/enemy-bomber...

Gaza doctor who lost nine children in Israeli airstrike dies from wounds in same attack. Hamdi al-Najjar, 40, was critically injured when Israeli forces bombed the family house in Khan Younis. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

I had to double check that this was real and yep there's the president sharing a post claiming his predecessor was executed in 2020 and replaced with a robot or a clone I mean CHRIST can the legacy media please normalize calling him unhinged, at the very least

Even the microbes are out to get Trump. Per the National Review "And what Trump believes about something in the planning stage is different from what he decides to believe once the plan flops (some person, institution, or microbe has sabotaged him)"

"Aggressively Rich". Love it! Need visuals

Seconded

Comprehensive and strong apology. When you’re wrong, take the L. Otherwise you become ridiculous. apple.news/AirMvPscTQKe...

Trump cuts threaten safety training for America’s most dangerous jobs. Such safety trainings - aimed at fishermen, loggers, farmers and other workers in America's most dangerous jobs - could be scaled back or wound down entirely as soon as July. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Something I think about constantly is a post from 2016 that said that because Trump won +50% of white women, that means more than half of the white women you know are LYING about supporting him.

I don’t mean to be negative but I do think we currently aren’t in a Democracy . The Justice system is 100 percent fucked/compromised and Trump and enough Republicans to help him aren’t likely giving up power . I also believe that close to half of Americans don’t care or support it.

Americans better be paying attention to this. This literally has nothing to do with immigration, but rather tracking all Americans to control us under a fascist regime. This is not hyperbole. Protect the Immigrants & you will be protecting yourselves & loved ones. #ProudBlue #OneV1

This IS Fascism!!! Protect each other as BEST you can!!! WE THE PEOPLE MUST FIGHT BACK ENMASSE!!! This is NOT OK!!! NATIONWIDE MASS PROTEST JUNE 14!!! Find a location! Make a plan! Bring others along! Make signs! FIGHT FASCISM TOGETHER💪🏼🖕🏼💪🏼🖕🏼💪🏼🖕🏼💪🏼 nokings.org

New grads from across the country reveal how DOGE cuts have led to rescinded job offers, confusion, and dashed hopes for careers in public service. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Not sure what that is but I'm pretty sure cars are not supposed to do that

Per Jaimie Diamond. Trumpism will create a crack in the US bond market, it’s not just bad, it’s catastrophic. The foundation of the global financial system. If it breaks, stocks crash, rates explode, credit freezes, and the dollar’s throne starts to wobble. This isn’t a leak, it’s the fault line.

So with regards to weird pervert Ross Douthat, I do not in fact “gotta hand it to him,” but I do wonder if some bit of Trump’s strength with the media especially comes from (1) Trump doing a bad thing and (3) things not turning out as bad as feared, because everyone forgets (2) he pulled back on it.

Dedham standing out today. #TeslaTakedown www.universalhub.com/2025/taco-town

Totally inappropriate and really unprecedented for a cabinet secretary to overtly intervene in an election of an ally like this. And even more wildly (though unsurprisingly) on behalf of the pro-authoritarian party.
