Minneapolis and the Rise of Care Activism What ICE has done is actually strengthen, rather weaken, the bonds between urban dwellers.

"Protests are surely important during this time of trouble, but for those who are exposed to legalized racism, what matters most is care activism." –@mudede.bsky.social

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

What Gives Me Hope Read more here.

When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.

YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture He got flak for his take, but is if actually the one that will help us get through this?

Are we the first people in history to live thru awful times? No.
What can we learn from those who came before about how to not give up - nor even simply endure - but to work to bring us through to the other side?
Where is it that we have the most influence and can do the most good right now?

My mutual Kandice has been doxxed, and fascists got her fired from her job as a nurse. We are seeing Black women on social media reporting attacks like this more often. Please follow Kandice on Tiktok and consider throwing a few bucks at the fundraiser for her.

🚨BREAKING DOZENS OF VETERANS ARRESTED🚨

100s assembled in DC ahead of Trump's military parade to demand investment in communities & #MilitaryOffOurStreets were violently arrested. Deploying tanks, surveillance, & military-grade equipment on civilians is NEVER acceptable. ANYWHERE.

SIGN THE PETITION: Stand Against Trump's Budget Proposal to Defund IMLS. Trump is more emboldened than ever to destroy library funding. We need you to take action today!

On May 2, 2025, the Trump Administration released its FY2026 federal budget proposal.

On page 39 he calls for the complete elimination of the only federal agency dedicated solely to supporting America’s libraries and museums.

As we’ve said before now confirmed. FOIA requests reveal that DOGE employees are pulling in six-figure salaries, with many holding the title of “Expert,” a specific Office of Personnel Management (OPM) designation that pays around $190,000 a year.

it’s always “kids don’t need 30 dolls they can have 2 dolls” and never “rich people don’t need 30 billion dollars they can have 2 billion dollars and pay taxes”

Trump is already facing pushback from Congress on his budget proposal and now he’s planning to override them entirely.

His new budget would slash nearly every federal program by a total of $163 billion while leaving defense spending untouched.

@mikelevin.org has started a new series hearing from veterans saying why the new military military EO concerns them. This story is from Dany, Vietnam vet. He has all the reason in the world to be terrified, to not want to use his face or his voice or his name, but he’s speaking out anyway.

I'm excited to be helping organize for what will likely become Tacoma's biggest May Day event in decades. 20+ organizations have endorsed so far. There's a great speaker lineup and march/car brigade planned. It should be powerful, radical and safe. Check linktr.ee/TACOMAMAYDAY for deets.

That’s a nice email and phone you got there. It’d be a shame if they got used up.

Don't be overwhelmed by the headlines. Take heart, take courage. People are fighting back. Do your part. It may feel small but each of us doing our part, speaking out, standing up is how we defeat fascism. EVERY FASCIST REGIME IN HISTORY HAS FALLEN. We WILL win. Your courage gives me courage. Stand

YouTube video by 60 Minutes Havana Syndrome evidence suggests who may be responsible for mysterious brain injuries

Russia is not our friend.

In light of Trump betraying our country as well as Ukraine, we are sharing a report from March 2024 that presents solid evidence that Russia is behind the “Havana Syndrome” attacks on our diplomats.

HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

These monsters are anti-life.

To hell with them and anyone who voted for them.
