"We Can't Keep Warm Alone".
This is the title of the wonderful drawing by the exceptional artist Jane Clatworphy.
The vivid rendering of her lines evokes a deep emotional sensitivity...her art style is deep and her technique astonishing..
Our beloved man can only be really warmed by our hearts...
That's ridiculous. I'd have reposted it with neon colors, and would have added "...especially you, Israel." Sorry, not sorry.
If the Senate votes to fund DHS tomorrow, they’re voting to fund ICE raids like this. Defend the Constitution and Abolish ICE.
Spent 2 hours downtown today in the -1°F wind. Saw some signs in windows and felt the community pulse. We aren't forgetting Alex Pretti. #RebelLoon #SiouxFalls #SolidarityPause
Today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the 6 million Jewish lives and countless others murdered by the Nazis.
It’s on all of us to learn from this dark period in history, reject hatred and division, and work to stamp out antisemitism in all its forms.
This reminds me of my first pup who passed away five years ago. 😭
Today we are remembering the millions of lives lost in one of the greatest tragedies in human history. On the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, we recommit to standing against hate in all its forms so these atrocities never happen again.
We need to be loud, we need to be clear, ICE must be ABOLISHED!! No reform, No retraining, No acceptance, these people are lawless. Period
Statement from the family of Alex Pretti.
This can’t be retrained. This can’t be reformed. We have a responsibility to stand up and fight using every means in our power within the bounds of the law. Abolish ICE.
Even if you live in a deep red state like me, you can still help.
I plan on visiting local businesses to talk about setting some time aside this week to either close or dim the lights in solidarity.
We have to speak up or they will take our silence for acceptance.
Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.
I think it's time for a nationwide general strike until ICE leaves our streets. Screw this.
It was about zoning for an AI data center. I was against it as well as the 90+% that came after me. It was amazing to see everyone show up and voice their opposition to something that will irrevocably affect our communities.
Sioux Falls represented. Not so much our council though.
I gave a speech tonight at my local city council meeting. A couple strangers reached out to me about it, including a city councilor. One ended up walking out with my copy of the speech. 😁
I wish I gave it in person as well as I practiced. I was so overwhelmed by the amount of people. ☺️
The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.
New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

Anybody else find it messed up that AI like Gemini refuse to treat new media as legit sources of information and toe the mainstream line? It's basically propaganda.
Worse yet, when they refer to the ongoing genocide in Gaza as "alleged". What has our society become?
You can't lead the caucus let alone the people.
You're out of touch. You should resign before you make your legacy even worse.
By caving, the people are going to lose a lot more in the long term.
Way to stand up for them! /s
I'd recommend a backbone, but it seems you won't need one anymore.
Resign. The people don't need you nor want you "serving" them anymore.
Don't get me wrong btw.
I still appreciate all the good you were able to do.
I still think you are a good, decent, person who makes mistakes like everyone else.
I'm just upset.
@barackobama.bsky.social
Remind me, why did you decide not to hold Bush and Cheney accountable?
Cheney was able to escape justice. What kind of message does that send?
Oh right, Trump and his goons know.
Shall we look the other way again?
Not to mention, he should have been tried and thrown behind bars for the 🐂 he pulled:
• "Weapons of mass destruction"
• The Patriot Act
• Torture that went against international law and the Geneva convention which the US is supposed to adhere to
• Overseas secret Black Sites and detention programs
💯
But it wasn't for nothing. It may appear that way for the soldiers, but actually more than likely it was for short term profits and gains for the fat cats including Cheney, neverending wars to feed the military industrial complex, and the "advancement" of the Christian nationalist agenda.
Save the date: Susan Collins’s retirement
Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."
😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎
I'm here for it. 🍿😁
I was so happy to see this. Way to go! 😁
This is the kind of mobilization we need across America.
