I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Blue and green background of people protesting with signs. Title at the top reads no cuts no furloughs, and below this reads stop attacks from trump and democrats. The next line of text reads organize for a one-day, public-sector general strike. A box to the left reads called by rank and file members of the WA Federation of State Employees Open to all union and non-union workers. On the right in white text reads organizing meeting thursday April 17 at 6pm PT on Zoom. The bottom left hand corner has two logos, one with a person raising their fist that reads fight the rich and their two parties, and to the right the workers strike back logo.

This is big. We need your help getting the word out. Democrats in WA are proposing $7 billion in budget cuts. @workersstrikeback.bsky.social and rank-and-file WFSE members are calling for a one-day, public-sector general strike in Washington as a next step to fight these attacks.

A tough read, but an important one.

Don't read if you're emotionally fragile right now.

ADL Shutters Flagship Anti-Bias Program Former employees say the organization is shifting away from educational content on racism and the LGBTQ experience and focusing more exclusively on…

Scoop from @jewishcurrents.bsky.social: The ADL is dropping its anti-bias training, and also "deleted lesson plans on topics such as transgender identity, white privilege, school integration, and the impact of boarding schools on Native Americans."

Very clear the org is going hard right.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

NEW: Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.

ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

And then LAUGHS about it?! I'll give you a clue, it's FASCISTS

What sick fuck does ASMR of the chains rattling and foot stomps of deportation?

Trump regime tweets this wordless video—nothing but the hum of an engine & the clanking of chains—comprised of closeup shots of a human being shackled for deportation. This is, no hyperbole, fascist fetish porn.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

🔥 WATCH: “Anybody can violate the law. The Pope, The president, Any sonofabitch can violate the law — how bout that? That’s fascist bullshit. We have one law. Or we have chaos.”

Rep. Joe Towns (D-MEMPHIS) let loose about Trump implying the law doesn’t apply to him.

THIS IS A COUP:
Reflections on A Crumbling America

open.substack.com/pub/craftyfo...

What can I do to fight this coup? If you look, there are people resisting at every level. Blockades of freeways. American Bar Association urging an end to...

People ask "What can I do"
Here is a well thought out list of action items. You don't game to do them all. You just have to do something.

Elections in capitalist countries always risk that the majority - employees - will vote to end the income inequities produced by capitalism. So capitalists buy parties, politicians, mass media. It's their self-defense against real democracy.

I will never get over how the white dude "white supremacy researcher" scene uniformly turned up its nose at the idea that misogyny was a core component of US white supremacist fascism.

And then white supremacists went & used misogyny to win a presidential election and nominate a cabinet of rapists.

i look at this incoming government and all i can see is rape.
