This!

These are the protests you go to if you’re just getting started or if you haven’t protested in donkey years or if you’ve got middle-graders or older coming with you.
Go during the day, wear sunscreen and a hat, carry water, carry masks, and if things feel hinky, fade. It’s all good.

β€œIt’s very concerning that ICE is targeting people who actually put their lives on the line for U.S. service members," Zakaria said.

If you have an unread copy of Let This Radicalize You lying around, this would be an excellent time to read Chapter 6: β€œViolence” in Social Movements. It's also a good time to share that chapter with others.

The post by Marco Rubio
Met with Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen in Brussels today to talk about the defense priorities shared by our two nations. We discussed the importance of increasing burden sharing within NATO and addressing threats to the Alliance.

Honest and direct meeting with @SecRubio yesterday. I made it crystal clear that claims and statements about annexing Greenland are not only unacceptable and disrespectful. They amount to a violation of international law.

This is what you call two different readouts of the same meeting.

Go Denmark, Go Greenland!

I feel like we need to be pushing the Dems harder. The MAGA/Repubs aren’t going to be swayed by us. They just dismiss us as β€œpaid” or not from their districts. The elected Dems need to be leading the fight. Yes, some are, but not enough.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

The Amazon Boycott.
Think of the Amazon boycott as training for far greater sacrifices that may be required of us in the near future.
It begins tomorrow. This is a first step to taking our country back in the face of a brazen, oligarch supported coup.
Let's do this!

My account still shows there are issues.

So…. It seems like there is the very real possibility that my account could become disabled. If that happens, I’m done with all META platforms.
