Nonviolence is the way. Community mutual aid could save us all.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Put him in the ring and see how long it takes for him to crap his pants. 🥊 💩

I have a hunch that these "Patriots" attempting assassination of Democratic Officials are receiving rewards from dark channels. Anyone else?

happy bday Irish poet Seamus Heaney, b.1939.

"History says, don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime

And hope and history rhyme."

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

In a wave of executive orders, Trump warns of a “distorted narrative” on #race, opposing the “social construct” to supposed “biological reality.”

A historian explains how both ideas reveal that race is a human invention, not a product of nature buff.ly/h2riiUp John P. Jackson, Jr., Michigan State️

In other words: Putin is the boss, since whatever he says is true for us.

Jamie Raskin asks citizens to mail in a request for Freedom of Information Act regarding DOGE accessing your social security information. Just print the form, mail it to DOGE, and then get on a list for Raskin to alert you to updates about the request.

Elon Musk retweeting a post that says: “Stalin, Mao and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector workers did.”

Just a Roman retweet

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

According to the NY Times (and its UN vote), America’s new friends under Trump (instead of under God) are Russia and North Korea.

35 year old widow. I have two children. I am now the sole caregiver to my children. My husband earned 85% of our household income. I wanted to earn a degree after his death to help provide for my family. My children and I are on Medicaid. We are not lazy. We are unfortunate.

"Immigrants didn't steal my job. The president did."

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.

I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.

Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Restoring Sanity We will prevail. We need to talk like it.

"Experts on tyranny point out that people are ill equipped to handle fascism because they make it look inevitable, & we lose our ability to envision the alternative.

Trump & Musk are trying to gaslight us all into believing we live in their FANTASY WORLD in which everyone bows before their power."

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Those of us who work in gender medicine are not going anywhere What’s more, we’re expanding.

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.”

Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

lol remember when Drumpf lied and cheated to steal the 2016 election, then had a US journalist murdered in a Saudi consulate when he tried to whistleblow the truth about him and Putin rolling in dirty oil money togetherlololol

but *do* tell me about your virtuous plans for peace, o enlightened ones
