How would @ruwaromman.bsky.social fix Atlanta? Anyone who is willing to sacrifice one group of people will eventually betray us all. It’s time for our community and our country to treat Palestinians as people, not discourse. how-id-fix-atlanta.ghost.io/how-ruwa-rom...

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's you on the ground.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Despicable. Trump’s goons are roughing up and handcuffing @padilla.senate.gov as he tries to ask a simple question. This is what dictatorship looks like. Watch:

A quick reminder that Afghans overwhelmingly did the fighting and dying - nearly 70,000 dead soldiers and police. And then Hegseth’s President abandoned them and cut a deal with the Taliban.

Worst thing about Trump's parade? "From just a few choreographed minutes of patriotic theater, analysts can extract volumes of insight into an adversary’s force structure, technical maturity, logistical capacity, and command dynamics." @steadystatevets.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/steadyst...

What happened here is an example of the Trump administration “de-documenting” people. His workers all had work permits; it seems they were Nicaraguans who entered through CHNV parole. But the Trump admin stripped them of their status then rounded them up, making even his supporter mad.

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

The best way to incentivize peaceful protesting is: 1) don’t arrest peaceful protestors 2) don’t shoot peaceful protestors 3) cover peaceful protestors 4) prioritize the demands of peaceful protestors instead of corporate interests

Measles is a notoriously contagious disease in the absence of vaccination coverage. Outbreaks have been spreading in Sudan's war-torn Darfur region for a year. @doctorswithoutborders.org has treated nearly 10,000 patients and is supporting mass vaccination campaigns. A much larger response is needed

From a colleague. Keep calling! It’s working!!! “We’re hearing that because enough moderate Republicans in the House are telling Speaker Johnson they’re against PEPFAR cuts, the White House is going to amend the package. The pressure is working!!“

House and Senate leaders should demand resignations from both Major General Pat Work, the 82nd Airborne Division commander, and Colonel Chad Mixon, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. This was possibly the most partisan speech ever delivered by a commander-in-chief to U.S. troops.
