ICE’s own director *said it out loud*: agents wear masks so they won’t be ID’d online.
Not for “safety”—but so they can keep terrorizing families in secret. Cowards.
If you volunteer to carry out racist raids, don’t cry when the public holds you accountable. Actions have consequences.
You will love this video! 🦋Rock on dudes!🎶🎤🎸
The decades of right wing media has a lot of responsibility for that soil.
Also tariffs are not the way to bring manufacturing to America anyway.
That bringing back manufacturing to the US is presented as a way to increase wages but it won’t. Americans would have to be willing to make way less than minimum wage to make the goods cheap enough.
Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff
Got photos from all 50 states. Looking for attendees' estimates to get some sense of the overall number. I was assuming I'd see this in mainstream media & then I remembered we're living in the No One Is Coming To Help You Timeline & started the sheet myself. #handsoff docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
Fascism needs to always be escalating to work. The purpose is to distract the public with bread and circuses so the powerful can extract wealth and exploit people. It is an inherently incoherent ideology because the only real point is more wealth for the powerful.
The difference is that they pay taxes and get services in return. We pay taxes and the billionaires and corporations get all of our money and we get nothing but exploited in return.
Fascism is about keeping the public distracted with common enemies, culture wars, and bread and circuses so that the wealthy can exploit as many people as possible and gain as much money for themselves as possible. It has to keep escalating to work. That’s why Trump is talking about Greenland.
As a fellow Gen x, my most used emoji is 🙄
The root problem is the US Constitution. It was written before people really knew how modern democracy would work best and has a lot of issues.
I have no fire cuz I think we need to let them have at it. Let Trump and MAGA do whatever. If Americans aren’t going to listen to warnings, then they need to feel how much the crazy hurts. America is addicted to propaganda and political theatre. Some addicts have to reach rock bottom to learn.

Homemade bagels this morning.
Are you kidding? Trump can’t remember what he said he was going to do yesterday. He has the memory and attention span of a gnat. He won’t remember this in 2 years.
That’s my thought. That photo makes him look like a badass. It is practically screaming for copycats.
2 1/2 years to go until retirement so yes for at least that long.
The economy is totally broken.
We need a system that works for everyone, not just the super rich.
It’s the old “bad things can’t really happen here and they certainly can’t happen to me or the people I know personally.”
When men are aggressive, they are seen as leaders who get things done. When women show the same traits, they are seen as bitches who are not team players. When men are compassionate, they are seen by many as weak pussies who should man up. Male traits are more valued by society than feminine ones.
Modeling is not the fashion industry. The fashion industry is the designing of clothes. Modeling is its own thing.
🙄 Men and women are not that inherently different. It’s just that society is structured to reward men and women for different behaviors. Then people like you think those behaviors are biological because it is easier for your brains than to understand how men and women are treated differently.
1st because men earn more than women in the fashion industry. 2nd because the patriarchy is a social system across all aspects of life. Men are respected more than women. Their work is seen as more valuable. Masculine traits are seen as better than feminine ones. Men are seen as the default human.
So you are saying that men are inherently better than women because they hold more patents? Or could it be that society is structured to give men advantages that allows them to hold more patents than women? Actually according to the stats I have seen, men earn more than women in every field.
Some women get by on looks and some men do too but not all women are hot 20 something’s so they can’t all get by on looks. So it would be socially engineered if women had equal position of power and wealth but it is not socially engineered by the patriarchy that men have more of those positions?
Nice strawman you created there. 🙄 Nobody is arguing that. They are saying if men and women were truly equal, you would see about equal numbers of them in positions of power and wealth. The fact that men have way more power and wealth means they still have more advantages in life than women.
