THIS!

WHY are you giving even one inch to the fascists? Untold numbers of people will die because of this guy and the sentence "RFK Jr. is not wrong" is what you write? WHY?

You're the absolute best!

This is some Nazi shit.

While I did receive a call from the Mayor at 7:30 in the morning about this, I was informed the LUCS would be approved within the hour. I hadn’t even gotten to City Hall yet.

@councilorgreen.bsky.social and I kept Mayor Wilson up to date on our Zenith resolution constantly, to be good partners.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

It is 100 percent their fault. They intentionally shut out AOC in favor of an old white guy with cancer. They turned Harris's "fuck those people are so weird" campaign vibe into standard James Carville pablum. It is their fault. And we are all paying the price.

Racists found a way to blame Boeing crashes on DEI.🤡

They found a way to blame the LA fires on DEI.🤡

They'll find a way to blame this on DEI too.

Facts don't matter.

If someone has enough racism and sexism in them, their mind covers the gap between the truth and all these easily debunkable lies.

This all day and twice on Sunday.

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

Meme that reads when somebody says there's no point in trying to make the world better with the Arthur. Fist

perhaps @democrats.org might want to forcibly push back on how unpopular these actions are? just an idea...

I totally support your work, but can no longer afford my monthly donation. I've tried so many ways of telling y'all that, but I have no confirmation. Please get in touch.

CSA all day. One note -- local producers , (i.e. Three Sisters Nixtamal Tortillas, King Harvest) rely on business through New Seasons, etc. (where I'm also not shopping until the workers have a fair contract). If you bought local from a larger store, please seek their products out at the source.

I updated this poem by Martin Niemöller several years ago.
Feels very apt right now.

When they come for you, make sure you're an ARMY.

Truly, primary every single Democrat who supports the MAGA agenda. Incomprehensible. Also ask them why they hate dogs.

@aoc.bsky.social all day long.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Opinion | A Racist Purge Almost Destroyed My Family. Another One Is Coming. If Trump issues his own order on Day 1, as he’s vowed, the first people could enter detention camps by February.

“To confront the Trump government without compromise, we must raise what Martin Luther King Jr. called a ‘coalition of conscience,’” writes Timothy Seseki Kudo, a Marine veteran whose Japanese American family was deported during World War II.

Because of your calls and emails, we have pushed 26 more Senate Democrats to oppose this dangerous bill. If any of these folks are your senators, you should say thank you and encourage them to keep fighting back against Republicans’ anti-immigrant fear mongering: indivisible.org/resource/tha...

The Laken Riley Act would imprison immigrants indefinitely without due process Accused of a minor offense, like shoplifting? Not convicted -- just accused? You're detained indefinitely. No bail. No trial. No justice. Even if charges are dropped, or you're proven innocent, you stay locked up. That's not safety. That's state-sanctioned cruelty.

The Laken Riley Act would target Dreamers and legal immigrants Dreamers who grew up here, went to school here, and are part of our communities? Detained. Refugees fleeing violence? Detained. Even legal immigrants caught in bureaucratic limbo are swept up in this nightmare. This bill punishes everyone.

The Laken Riley Act would hand MAGA extremists federal power This bill gives people like Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton the ability to hijack federal immigration policy. He could demand federal judges lock up asylum seekers en masse or block visas for doctors, engineers, or students from entire countries. Imagine one MAGA state deciding who can live and work in the United States. That's what this bill allows.

The Laken Riley Act would gut legal Immigration By letting courts impose blanket visa bans on entire countries, this bill risks shutting down legal immigration altogether. Skilled workers, students, and even families trying to reunite would be turned away -- not because of anything they've done, but because MAGA needs a scapegoat.

🚨 The Senate is expected to vote tomorrow morning on one of the most dangerous immigration bills in recent history.

The Laken Riley Act wouldn’t protect anyone. What it would do is create chaos that could impact millions.

Plus the folks at Blackstone are some of Biden's very best buddies.
