Today is 105 year anniversary of Ocoee Election Day Massacre. On 11/2/1920 a white mob murdered 30 Black people, & burned 25 Black owned homes & Black churches—all b/c Black people dared exercise the right to vote

Ocoee's entire Black community was exiled. No Black American moved back in until 1980

Most excellent day!!! Well done to the #VisibilityBrigade team from @hopeandactionsf.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥

Murmuration: we see where to go by looking to those right beside us; together, we show each other how to fly.
#KeepGoing #EndGunViolence #LoveIsEverywhere

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

Interesting to note that the coal industry in the U.S. employs just a tad over 40,000 people, according to the BLS. The same source tells us that 64,000 people work at wineries.

Like starlings, they find each other in flight,
drawn
not by orders from above but by trust,
instinct, and the pull of justice.

The murmuration is the movement—

shifting, uncontainable, unstoppable.

We will #KeepGoing
We will #EndGunViolence
Our #LoveIsEverywhere 🫶🧡🫶

They rewrite the sky with their own shapes—

proof that power is NOT in a logo or a name,

but in the PEOPLE who will not be quieted.

who rose together in defense of life,

who built the largest chorus against gun violence in America,

who carried grief in one hand and hope in the other.

Now they refuse weapon training over voices,

refuse decisions made without them.

They scatter, not in silence, but in a rush of wings—
hundreds of voices, once bound by a red t-shirt,

breaking free into the open air.

A murmuration of Moms, Survivors, neighbors, friends—

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

"I meant other people's gun deaths." - Charlie Kirk, 2025

Trying to strike a balance between hating political violence and hating Charlie Kirk, while acknowledging America’s history of violence against Black leaders and liberation activists that Kirk doesn’t care about, while also pointing out the systemic problems the right built that led us to this...

So… the fascists are considering banning guns for trans people while Moms Demand Action announces a gun safety course.

I woke up in Bizarro America

Everytown is the parent company of Moms Demand Action. Moms was the advocacy arm of their GVP platform.

Everytown is the parent company of Moms Demand Action. Rolling this program out has damaged our advocacy and hurt the entire GVP community. ET will survive, but Moms is damaged beyond repair. It's a devastating slap in the face to the survivors of gun violence and to the long time volunteers.

The guy that ordered 8 fighter jets to perform a low altitude fly-over in an effort to drown out Epstein survivors is the same guy who wants you to believe he's innocent.

All non-Florida states should offer, now, proactive resettlement plans so that families looking to escape DeSantis Disease laboratory can relocate somewhere humane before he kills them

"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"

Protest on Ft Lauderdale beach this morning! Save our street art!! #VisibilityBrigade @hopeandactionsf.bsky.social @dolphindemocrats.bsky.social

70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists.

Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter.

We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.

Ashli Babbitt died doing what she loved—being a domestic terrorist.

We need red flag laws.

We don’t need weapons of war on our streets.

I was just in Minneapolis and the city is lovely for sure, but the people made it better welcoming us with their kindness. My heart goes out to those who are hurting. We MUST do better. We must.

Floridians Restricted Gerrymandering. Their Justices Are Retreating on Enforcing That. Florida’s supreme court blessed the 2022 GOP gerrymander, weakening a key provision of the voter-approved Fair Districts Amendments. Governor DeSantis wants to take advantage.

Florida justices have given Republicans a roadmap for working around anti-gerrymandering reforms. What seemed like durable constitutional safeguards now depend largely on the restraint of the very politicians they were designed to constrain.

Congrats!! 🎉🥳💪🇺🇸
