I cannot get enough of this video!

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Resistance will take many forms in the days and months ahead.

"Julio" shared this from last year. He's injured but will recover in time for the season. "Thanks to the union I’m able to recover without worrying about loosing my job. I’ll come back just in time for harvest season. That's a privilege non-union workers don't have. #WeFeedYou

I am glad that Mahmoud Khalil will be released and finally meet his son, but he never should have been taken in the first place. Our Constitution guarantees the right to due process to everyone. We will continue fighting to defend that right. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/n...

Brave soldier.

JUNETEENTH in Harlem. This is what America is about. Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep. It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

I asked Lina Khan what she wants people to remember about this moment.

Make your call today. On April 25th, in Frankenmuth, MI, Democrat Senator Slotkin said she's supporting GOP and agribusiness trying to cut farm worker wages. If you stand with farmworkers, act now and make your call to @slotkin.senate.gov today: 1-202-759-4087. Protect farm worker wages! #wefeedyou

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

On the heels of the disastrous House reconciliation bill’s passage, Senate Republicans unveiled their own poisonous version of the bill that will fund Trump’s agenda, a bill calling for outright sale of public lands as a key element. 🗳️Vote All Republicans Out!🗳️ www.wilderness.org/articles/blo...

I don't know man, but I think you're doing great. Shit is really tough right now on so many fronts. I'm not saying it'll get easier or better anytime soon. I have no idea. But being creative, writing, drawing, whatever, is no small thing. And taking joy in those things is never a waste of time.

Please share.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

After visiting the USA🇺🇸, @unsr-education.bsky.social reports to #HRC59 today: schools are still shaped by deep inequality. Segregation persists 🏫 Schools in poor areas are underfunded 📉 Gender and racial inclusion under attack ❌ Inclusive education is a human right ⚖️ 🔗 docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/59/...

Opal Lee is an American activist who helped make Juneteenth a federally recognized holiday. She is often described as the "grandmother of Juneteenth.” On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden signed Senate Bill S. 475, making Juneteenth the eleventh federal holiday.

TODAY’S PSA…👇 If ICE agents are conducting raids in your area, if you need help locating someone in ICE custody, or if you would like to report ICE activity, ICIRR has a hotline you can call at 1-855-HELP-MY-FAMILY (1-855-435-7693). The hotline has operators who speak English, Spanish, & Korean.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

tomorrow is juneteenth! nobody forget that it was Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee who led the effort for us to have it as a federal holiday!!! never forget!!!!

Brown shirts didn’t hide their faces. You gotta work hard to be lower than the brown shirts

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.
