At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people. Good morning

Trump stood at Fort Bragg, called American protesters “animals,” vowed to “liberate” LA with military force. Soldiers cheered. 1933 wasn’t that long ago. Tyranny never starts with silence—it starts with thunderous applause. This is straight out of the dictators playbook AND FUCK those that cheered

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

They've been trying to numb us for a long time. Fascism. Oppression. Genocide. All on display. They want us desensitized, to think it's just the way the world works when deep down we know it is unnatural. Don't let them take away the feeling from you. It's uncomfortable because you're human.

Good Wednesday morning Blue Sky's! “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

Never forget that the bluster and brutality and made-for-TV violence that we’re witnessing in CA and elsewhere right now on the part of the administration is a sign of weakness and fear. Not strength.

America was founded on racism. Ask us Natives.

🚨A new UN report has found Israel guilty of the "crime against humanity of extermination" in Gaza. The report has been largely ignored by the British press. 👉https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/06/1164191

one interpretation would be that the shoddily performing immigration police require military escorts to be protected from scrutiny

You are on the wrong side of history if you follow this man. Our grandfathers and grandmothers fought against what he stands for.

Authoritarians want us to give up. Don’t. Courage is contagious. Optimism is an act of defiance. Stand tall, speak up, and believe in a better future. We’re not alone—and we’re not powerless. Democracy survives when we refuse to back down. #MomSky

A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.

John Lennon’s quote reveals how the establishment provokes violence to control dissent. Violence plays into their hands, justifying harsher crackdowns. Non-violence and humor, however, break this cycle, disarming power with unexpected resistance that challenges the system without fueling aggression.

BREAKING: ABC News has suspended Terry Moran for tweeting this…👇 Spread. The. Word. Far. And. Wide. 😎✨

Over 10,000 protesters marched peacefully through Downtown Los Angeles for a third straight day, their voices rising against ICE raids tearing families apart. In silence, they filled the freeway—an ocean of defiance and unity. No violence, just courage. This is what resistance looks like. 💪🔥✊🏽🕊️📣🇺🇸

I think we’ve found the source of the violence

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

This wrinkled, elderly, muttering lifetime racist, scallywag and outright asshole is the reason SCOTUS looks like it does. This abrasive SONOFABITCH is the reason we are where we are today. He will never EVER be forgiven. I greatly await his mortal demise. In short, FUCK YOU, MITCH.

Truth Shakes Comfort

Why is Trump sending the National Guard into LA? Why does he have Marines on stand by? For starters... he's trying to change the narrative

Mouin Rabbani: "Israel considered this small civilian vessel carrying 11 unarmed civilians seeking to bring baby formula.. to the besieged of Gaza as a national security threat & sent elite commandos to seize the ship in international waters, which.. [is an] act of state piracy"

The same is true for raids on restaurants—rounding up people who are working hard and contributing to their community.

Fact check: True.

Trump can’t stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads — and engage in peaceful civil disobedience. Be strong. Be safe.
