A major consequence of chronically defunding social sciences is that people have no knowledge of what propaganda is, what it looks like and how it works.

thank you, @governorwalz.mn.gov for your leadership. You embody everything that's right about people in high places. Your willingness to be vulnerable is inspiring. You make me want to be a better human.

thank you @governor.ny.gov for speaking truth to power. @schumer.senate.gov this is how it's done.
@aoc.bsky.social thank you for your efforts too.

@bradlander.bsky.social is an American citizen who is asking to see the warrant that details the charges against him which would cite the reason he's being detained. This is clearly illegal and is the most recent authoritarian move by a fascist regime. THIS IS NOT A SHARED AMERICAN VALUE. NOT NORMAL

additionally @schumer.senate.gov how about commenting on the illegal detention of nyc's comptroller?

toughen up and stop failing us.

Please provide this to the person who was attacked. it may help her in court.

Also to everybody out there, keep realizing this is not normal. Shout it out loud at yourself if you need to. This is the definition of an authoritarian regime of fascists.

There's a virtual event as well at 10am central time if there isn't one close to you. Check this out (linked in the shared post).

Detaining David is absolute nonsense and is a straight up fascist play. This man was simply exercising his First Amendment rights.

...yet providing no reparations to the thousands of black families that were enslaved for years and upon which all us white folks have profited.

I have an arguably ridiculous question @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social but I'll pose it anyway.
should we use Elon to our advantage... pounce right now?
he architected some heinous bullshit. but should we try to see if he'd be on "our" side now?
we want disenfranchised trumpers...

Happy mother's Day to all moms as you said.

Two things can be true at once but you need to go, Senator.

You betrayed your oath, your party, and above all YOUR COUNTRYMEN. We the People demand you to step down.
