It takes historically 3.5 % of a population to push a tyrant out of power. Today the US reached 11 Million protesters for No Kings Day nationwide That’s 3.23 % We are almost there, America.

If the Stephen Miller freakshow is too much even for Ron Johnson (!) it’s probably worth confronting Republicans with the ugly truth: they aren’t being bullied into supporting “the MAGA agenda.” They’re being bullied into helping a sadistic degenerate get his fix. www.offmessage.net/p/the-greedy...

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

@kumail.bsky.social great talk at DASH. I have degrees in both philosophy and computer science, and I tell people what they have in common is taking an idea and look at it from different angles.So it's great to hear from that from you, too

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

The Fox News Cinematic Universe has created demands that no government can actually fulfill. See also Bongino and Patel being unable to reveal the deep-state conspiracies they once hyped to their audiences www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

Research shows that outreach to members of the military and security services is one of the single most effective activities civil resistance movements can engage in! Military forces are much less likely to shoot protesters if they think their friend or cousin could be in the crowd.

The Expense.

Child casualties almost halved, child deaths down by 3/4… All the other stats don’t really matter

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

Folks, when agents of the government wont identify who they are, what agency they are from, and what cause they have to conduct an enforcement action, they're not law enforcement. They're state secret police, the Stasi, the Gestapo, NKVD, etc.

I really, really need people to understand that as a function of supremacy, normal everyday people lie constantly about their intentions—to everyone, but perhaps to themselves most of all—and most often in service of protecting their ignorance and complacency, rather than any coherent ideology.

Here we (@fim.bsky.social) and I are driving along in Utah and we see this next to us… Yes, that is a tricycle dragging underneath that truck. Terrifying.

Real smoke-em-if-you-got-em vibes on the timeline this morning

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.

Trying to find the elusive rage-life balance lol

This is a good point. Going after Biden lets these people convince themselves they’re speaking truth to power while simultaneously shrinking in utter cowardice every day while fascism takes over unthreatened by any real press truth telling.

AI: what if everything was shitty but convenient in the manner of a gas station hot dog?

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

Pedro Pascal at Cannes on the Trump regime’s war on migrants: “I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile.”

real gutting background to the most lunatic anti-science government in American history: an endless stream of staggering medical innovations

We don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn.

75% of American Jews do not have a favorable opinion of Donald Trump. Please remember this whenever you hear MAGA talking about antisemitism!

If they can give us one that follows the old B71 route then i'm for it www.brooklynpaper.com/bk-urge-mta-...

there are a lot of bad things about the way we've planned cities - but one of the worst is just how loud they are. and it's all cars.

"the way people are with you" is almost always more about "the way they are" than it is about "you" if you really internalise this it will change your life you are not powerful enough to change other people. you can't make a cheater faithful. you didn't make that troll be an asshole.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

It’s too bad we can’t figure out a way for him to watch Fox instead of Fox News because then our entire government would be the cast of Bob’s Burgers and the baby from Family Guy

Americans who voted for Harris watching the Canadian and Australian elections

being mean to democrats is “balance.” being mean to republicans is “bias.”

Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat. I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

I'll just go ahead and start my day on the endless screaming app ^_^

Love this for me, a person with a ton of allergies to the foods that are typically used for natural food dyes.

[[endless screaming]]

Arendt distinguished between action and behavior. Behavior is routine. Predictable. What most people do most of the time. To act means to take the initiative and try something different. At its best action is unpredictable. You never know what might happen when you stop behaving and begin to act.
