We've received reports that some people are having trouble finding events in their area for April 19th. You can check our website for events or look for your local 50501 chapter's social media and check their social media posts for event details. (1/2)

Sounds an awful lot like a mob boss.

Agreed.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Your labor is worth more than yhey pay you, a lot more.

If you aren't going to pay for the hearings to determine immigrant status, just save us the money and let them pay those sales taxes.

All the rich had to do to be loved was pay us more and give us affordable healthcare without gouging us on real estate. It was super simple.

Claiming someone is a criminal based on a dismissed ruling and then deporting them is terrible precedent. This is dangerous for everyone.

NYC, it’s time to take to the streets again. We’re joining over 40 cosponsors to protest authoritarianism, and march for a planet where we place people over profit. 📅 Saturday, April 19 ⏰ 12pm 📍 Bryant Park We’ll see you in the streets.

Troy, MI. April 19th. Are you ready?💪 #50501movement #FiftyFiftyOne #NoKings @50501movement.bsky.social @polrev.bsky.social @nvunheard.org @50501activists.bsky.social @littleboblue.bsky.social @resistbuildwin.bsky.social @voicesofflorida.bsky.social

The "deportations" should be an absolute final line. We should be making more people feel safer, not more people more fearful. We're going in the wrong direction, backwards.

Trump's tariffs become sloppier the more he tries to correct. He has no idea what he is doing. It's highly unlikely his cabinet has any clue how to use policy to get what they want. And that is if any of them know what they want.

It's going to be hard convincing people who believe in an authoritarian god or aa authoritarian business model to accept that an authoritarian government is a bad idea. We have to try.

Everyone is a hero in their own mind. Tragic, but true. We have to remind them, that those that are seen as heroes by history, are the ones on the side of the poeple, of diversty, of equality and freedom for all.

Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.

Take care of youself. It's going to be another long week, get some rest.

Don't forget to create something. Doesn't matter if it's carpentry, crochet, or poetry, make the world a little more interesting.

Let's keep this growing!

Get involved. Action will bring you some peace of mind.

This is why you're hurting. Red, blue, middle class or poor, this is the problem. They just need to pay you more.

Get out and do something. See the others who think like you. Make a statement. Feel better about yourself.

We need elected officials that know things about the world we live in. We also need to push on the people around us to be knowledgable. A government by the people requires an involved populace.

We have got to push back on these so-called deprotations. They are violations of your rights.

We should be pissed that wages have not kept pace with productivity. We were told we would get paid more or work less, yet the "owners" don't want us to have the valie we produce.

Those that own capital are pissed that you own the real means of production labor. They won't be happy until.they can access it for free.

If someone says taxes are theft, roads and SS are good answers, but don't forget who complains the loudest about roaches in hamburgers, rats on cruise ships, and weevils in cereal. Ask if they prefer the three-eyed fish or if they enjoy having ten fingers after work.

That eerie feeling when it starts to look like someone had to sit down "the most powerful man in the "free (bahahaha)" world" and tell him where the computers and phones come from.

Experiencing other cultures is the death of bigotry. Have a feeling there are a lot ot Trump supporters who will see this as a win.

And then Musk says empathy is a problem. Preachers are starting to call empathy a sin. Sounds like Ayn Rand, leads to concentration camps.

Do what you can when you can. Rest when you need to. Get sleep, get some sun, drink water. Come back stronger.

Make it clear to others that being okay with anyone not receiving due process makes us all less safe.

Make a plan.

Artificial Intelligence isn't really a thing and people want to be lazy so bad, they just accept it works. Learn how to do things or you'll let the bots take your jobs.

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

Anybody remember when a guy offered to end hunger if someone could provide a plan and when someone did that guy instead bought a massive media format and invested in an election that resulted in massive losses on people's retirement and safetty nets?

We are now all experiencing what happens when someone who refuses reality has too much influence on your finances. The wealthy are NOT smarter or even better informed than you.

Your labor is worth more. Across the board, nearly everyone should be paid far more.

Do reporters these days use dictionaries, thesauruses, hell anything to tell them what words actually mean? Pretty sure words still have definitions.

Practically all economics experts, investors, and financial planners treated these tariff threats as bad. Trump is not a genius at business, he's a genius at chicanery and too many people can't tell the difference.

Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death. Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.

It’s clear: Trump and Musk want to make it harder and harder for the elderly and disabled to utilize Social Security. They don’t care how much pain they cause. Their ultimate goal is to make Social Security dysfunctional, to privatize it and to let Wall Street take it over.

In America last year, nearly 40 million workers made less than $17 an hour. Unacceptable. Nobody in America can make it on $7.25 an hour, $9 an hour or $12 an hour. We need an economy in which all of our workers earn a living wage.

Who knew that when your teachers said math would save your life, they weren't talking about missions to Mars, they were talking about taxes, budgets, tariffs, and expenditures.
