Tiara I guess

If the point of having a society *isn't* to care for each other, to ease suffering and realize each life's potential, literally what is the point? To hoard wealth? To build empires on other people's throats? Life is brief, nothing lasts. Wealth and empires are pointless violence

Woohoo!!!

Don’t forget tomorrow is the nationwide May Day protest. 50501 has been doing an incredible job organizing, and a lot of our coalition members will be joining events across the country.

Moral courage and the story of the White Rose - Diocese of Covington By David Cooley. “Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go …” Those were among the last words spoken — 77 years ago —by a 21-year-old German girl […]

Sophie Scholl knew help was not coming.

Yet she found the courage to do what what was right—what she knew to be "legally" wrong—to fight a fascist state.

The crime for which she was put to death was not firing guns or throwing bombs, but publishing six poetry zines critical of the Nazi regime.

After the amazing Hands Off protests on April 5th are you hankering for more? Here are two upcoming national days of protest. Find or host an event near you. Keep up the pressure.

What a terrible time to be queer or trans in Amerikkka.

I've been saying for years that something like this would happen. I was laughed at and called crazy many times. I think we are closer than ever to the end of the USA.

WORD OF THE DAY
Go look up Balkinization. California already took the first step. Where Ca goes, Oregon and Washington usually follow.
If you don't live in one of those states you REALLY should learn about this.

My chosen city showing me I chose well.

The image is from the NY Times and shows Dr. Oz at a senate hearing and the headline reads"Senate Confirms Dr. Oz to Oversee Medicare and Medicaid

me: "please god, get elon musk out of our government." *monkey's paw curls*

Musk and Trump are trying to dismantle the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.
 
They are sacrificing the needs of our veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires.
 
That is something that the American people — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — will never support.

The Trump ICE operation is Ethnic Cleansing. Call it what it is. #3E #EndImpunity

Mayday May 1: Camp Mayday, a vision of protest, art and change. Daily demonstrations. Art as resistance.

Get ready for a continuous occupation of the National Mall until Donald Trump is impeached and removed from office. #3E #EndOligarchy #USProtests

HANDS OFF! This is the moment where we say NO. No more looting, no more stealing, no more billionaires raiding our government while working people struggle to survive. On April 5th, we take action. Across the country, thousands of people will march, rally, disrupt, and demand an end to this billionaire power grab. We'll show up at state capitals, federal buildings, congressional offices, and city centers-anywhere we can make sure they hear us.

Call to Action: On April 5th, take to the streets to say Hands Off. Spread the word, fire up your networks, and make sure everyone knows:

“We don’t have kings in the US, and we won’t let a handful of billionaires run our country into the ground.” #3E #USprotests #HandsOff

We can confirm that CDC (Trump/DOGE) is making massive cuts to states. State and local health departments rely on federal funds to provide services.

Immediate termination of grants, effective today, as well as steep cuts to COVID funds.

We will update as we learn the full extent.

My dad is absolutely telling me I've done enough and need to take care of me.
But you? You should look into April 5th.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

Elon is upset that the public is staying informed. So many threats from him lately. We are public servants, not Elon servants.

I hate it here.

Portland!!!

Support Al Green and let the traitors know what you think. #3E #EndOligarchy

The simple act of booing during Trump’s speech would go a lot farther than standing there in matching outfits or walking out. Stand your ground. Call a traitor a traitor and boo. Silent protest doesn’t work when their goal is to keep you silent. #3E #SOTU

Cops are, first and foremost, bullies.

Bullies will always act with far more brutality against those they view as weaker than they are.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to fire more than 80,000 employees.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊

Let me get this straight. You have to put a target on your back by registering and putting yourself on their radar so they can deport you. OR you're committing a crime by not registering, which also gives them an excuse to deport you (or send you to Guantanamo). What an awful lose/lose situation.
