“The establishment will irritate you to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor."

Better together. #NoKings

Administration officials are calling peaceful protesters "antifa" and "paid." This is a classic authoritarian tactic: delegitimize dissent. The truth: we are millions of everyday Americans—your neighbors—standing up for democracy. Don't fall for the lies. #NoKings

News you can use.

Plenary authority. 😶

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

If the federal government shuts down, will ICE stop ripping apart families on the street and at pre-scheduled court hearings?

We are on that slippery slope.

WHATEVER could have caused this??? It's a MYSTERY.

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

Weird right? He used to support the first amendment

Sooo many ad serves on the alternet I gotta say bye. Hope you can tame that beast.

The people they need the ethics, too!

If only each charging port took 5 mins! [hashtag goals]

So, I thought that this meant they were going to just fire all the statisticians. But now I think he means that tens or hundreds of thousands of people are quitting their jobs just to make the stats look bad. I'm not sure which is more insane.

Then they came for John Bolton And we need to speak out.

She’s not wrong.

I guess the $100B additional US investment wasn’t enough? Gotta step forward with gold trinkets and photo ops? This is sad.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

He fled Boko Haram and helped build an award-winning restaurant. Now he’s facing deportation. Paul Dama left Nigeria after being kidnapped in 2018. His detention feels like "a second kidnapping," says his sister.

“I felt like someone just sucked my blood, my air. Like, how do you live?"

Southwest Airlines' open seating is ending: Here's what the new 8-group boarding process will look like Tickets for assigned seating will go on sale next week as the airline continues to shed the features that once made its brand stand out.

Wait. What? You don’t choose a seat when you purchase? Just a fare class and then get a seat assigned at check in? Sounds like the worst of both worlds now at Southwest Airlines. I hope I am reading this wrong. www.fastcompany.com/91371774/sou...

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The UN's top court in a landmark climate decision says a 'clean, healthy and sustainable environment' is a human right.

Reminder: Immigrants are good for the economy and our society. Countless industries, including our food supply, are made up of immigrant workers who are overworked & underpaid.

And 64% of Medicaid recipients who can work are already working.

Trump’s agenda is a double whammy of cruelty and lies.
