Meet the Minnesota students behind today's national general strike campaign. "We want everyone to feel that solidarity that we felt last week."

“No work. No school. No shopping. Stop funding ICE.”

That’s the rallying cry behind the campaign for a nationwide general strike on Friday, seeking to galvanize opposition to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

You also don’t deserve to be murdered when you’re backing up and complying

You need the Epstein files as well. Don’t open this government back up for anything less than full transparency on both. And healthcare subsidies. You’ve got them by the neck. They are deeply unpopular.

I need to scream into this void again. Trump and his gestapo have got to go. They are shooting people in the street.

Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

 photographed this boy walking home alone with a snack being "randomly" approached by DHS. "After he was unable to produce documentation proving his citizenship, agents informed him that he was under arrest." He said, "Can I just go home?" Answer: No.

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

It’s time for a general strike. We need to shut this government down.

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13.
I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

police dressed as military in front of a police tank police dressed in camo like soldiers like total knobs cops dressed head to toe in camo like full kit wankers

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.
