PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

Former Capitol police officer Michael Fanone when confronting Proud Boys insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio: “You are a traitor to this country.” RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone!

Theory: I’m looking at these two actors in Before Sunrise/Sunset, and I’m thinking about the plot, and wondering whether it is possible that this movie is The Princess Bride set in modern times. #filmsky

Happy Saturday💋 Get it kid 🔥🔥 Best walk up ever ⚾️ #SheShed

Please for the love of Dog get off X, people. You're not resisting. You're supporting a fascist.

Wise man…

Who made this?!

We haven’t seen this much greed for power since Hitler. Muskrat is a piece of human garbage.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

This is a coup.

This is pure evil.

We need an oracle of sorts. Someone like her (the great Gloria Foster)

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

I sincerely doubt any journalist of color I know would be allowed to write "I didn't know this important aspect of US history and read the Wikipedia summary of it to catch up" in a prominent newsletter read by every important person in the nation's capital

Incredible journalism.

FBI cancels community outreach programs for seniors

Please stop shaming federal workers for their decisions to stay and fight or resign in protest. You don't know their lives or what they have the privilege of doing. It's like yelling at a rape survivor for not reporting.

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Economic Blackout! #resist #oppose #generalstrike

Imagine any of the “founding fathers” in the shape of a pacifier. We are not taught to act and challenge authority as they once did, only to revere their greatness. We have the energy, the thoughtfulness, and the courage to remake our country and government that serves its people and the world.

As the internet gets shittier it’s gotten easier to be off it and read more books lately

A difficult thing for us humans to do, yet extremely important, is to name our world accurately. Instead, we use words and descriptions passed down to us. Shirley Jackson tried to ______ us in the short story “The Lottery”

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?
