Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been β€œimmigrants go home.”

It would have been β€œget your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting.

They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Same thing with the Iraq war, though back then the formulation was β€œright, but for the wrong reasons.”

I guess this obligates you to rank the solo Joan version. I like this video where she's reading her children's book telling the song as her story, and her partner John Doe is standing by in support. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNgi...

state after state could solve this college funding shakedown from the Trump administration by just agreeing to fund universities at the levels they did in the early 1990s.

Hilarious because you couldn’t imagine a better demonstration of Butler’s theories of the performativity of gender than gendering chatbots or whatever
