Trump’s dystopian plan is already underway: collecting data on every American, potentially to wield surveillance powers over us. And the administration has been very quiet about these efforts. https://trib.al/m4A2SFg

there are a lot of good people in this country we will win

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

1/11 There was a sign today at the "No Kings protest in Miami, which read "El derecho de vivir en paz." The English translation is "the right to live in peace."

@nytimes.com consistently supporting fascism since 1930

Murdered by a Democrat? NOPE. Vance Luther Boelter is a far-right Christian nationalist whose assassination list contained the names of many major Minnesota Democrats — including Rep. Melissa Hortman, Sen. John Hoffman, Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Sen. Tina Smith... 1/3

Always the same kind of white guy, every single time

So important. This is America. Freedom, equality, democracy, human rights are not and never have been dictated by polling approval.

US white evangelicalism is a death cult

The 'No Kings' day of defiance comes as many cities, including Los Angeles and New York City, stand up against Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) deluge of mass deportations under the Trump administration. Click the link for the full story and photo gallery.

10/10 no notes

There is *no* empirical support for miasma theory This is Middle Ages shit Line up for your leeches and bloodletting, folks

It took me a while to write it, but to me, the throughouline of Trump's tariffs, his isolationist foreign policy and his immigration restrictionism is a singular worldview: Closing America off from the rest of the world. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Reminder that most "red" states have a sizable population who're gerrymandered out of power. Support those who resist!

Fuck yes Andy!

Unreal levels of Trump's America here.

This is how you do it, bravo Springfield 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

St. Charles is pretty red, this is amazing

Never a bad day imo

Good to see him come back for this

Minnesota assassination suspect Vance Boelter seems to be associated with the authoritarian, charismatic Christian right. 2 months ago, The Christ for The Nations Institute (CFNI) honored Cindy Jacobs, a top apostle and prophet in the theocratic New Apostolic Reformation movement.

👀

And for those who don’t know, Woodrow Wilson was a notorious racist and Charles Lindbergh was a Nazi ally and collaborator.

So proud of all my fellow Missourians today that have come out to make their voices heard, gives me hope there’s still some life left in this state

“I’m am invoking my right to remain silent and I am invoking my right to have an attorney present.” Then you shut the fuck up.

Let's also not forget that Evers was killed by a white supremacist who was then set free for 30 years after two all-white, all-male juries refused to convict (even though the guy literally had a fresh black eye from the recoil of the gun). Two cops provided false alibis for him, too.

lmaoo never gets old

I think the most straightforward narrative here is that this guy was working overseas as a merc, an isolating job for which he was getting long in the tooth, and then couldn’t find work stateside on his return

Facts (1) FBI has directed resources away from right-wing terrorism for decades because it is too close to Republican Elite, Trump has fully deemphasized resources as it pivots to kidnapping immigrants (2) Republicans have normalized & celebrated violence against Democrats, including last week in CA

some people are still scared of the word, but i hate to break it to ‘em: if fascists show up to intimidate and harass demonstrators at your event, you gotta make peace with your identity as an antifascist. it’s not a dirty word. it’s a moral duty.

Reposting this because millions of yall came out to cause good trouble today and I hope that John Lewis is somewhere smiling on us. His words have never been more important💙

If you see a proud boy or any other far-right group at your protests, start chanting traitor and advance towards them as a group. You’ll see how quickly they run away.

Incredible

And Rufo saying *THIS WEEK* that they needed to use unmarked vans to take progressive leaders off the streets normalizes the violent unaccountability. This is exactly what he’s been trying to incite.

The entire right wing on X is running with this as evidence the guy was a Democrat and this was leftist terrorism, even though being appointed to a low-level workforce development board is not a partisan thing at all and says literally nothing about a person’s political leanings.

Scum of the earth

They are actively arresting peaceful protesters for wearing medical masks at the protests. Now if you are wondering how police are treating nonviolent protesters. Have a feeling this is going to turn into a thread of actions today

Dear America friends, this is what Scotland did when our equivalent to ICE tried to take away our friends and neighbours We freed them and then ran the uniformed goon squad out of town Do not back down. You’ll win if you stand firm Some reading if it’s required en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenmure...

🧵THREAD: Far right groups, including White Supremacists and violent extremists, have taken notice of the #NoKings protests planned for tomorrow (June 14th), and have responded with extremist rhetoric and calls for violent disruption of protests. 🚨Follow this thread for intel and updates⬇️

When even Springfield, Missouri shows up like this, you’ve really messed up. I have hope for this town yet.

PSA: Don’t open your doors to white men who are dressed like police officers.

The contrasting images of a DC ghost town/military parade and 1800 American cities and towns with well-attended protests is going to drive Trump batty.

Nashville is seeing what appears to be proud boys and others showing up to protests both armed and with cameras.
