Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

Public schools arenโ€™t just where learning happens. Theyโ€™re where we build opportunity, hope, and a stronger democracy. Thatโ€™s why theyโ€™re under attack. And thatโ€™s why we must fight to strengthen them, not abandon them. www.aft.org/press/speech...

The message that must be conveyed on Bluesky, X, Facebook, Instagram, etc. 24/7/365:

"How many sex traffickers is the president planning to pardon, and will the list be restricted to his friends?"

Make the bastards cope with that!

The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the DOJ for the Epstein files. They now have 2 weeks to release the files to the committee.

Itโ€™s time to find out whoโ€™s been protected, who thought they were above the law, and whoโ€™s been hiding behind power.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain peopleโ€”How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.

Gov. Greg Abbott originally called a special session to regulate Hemp products like CBD & THC products after vetoing Lt Gov Patrickโ€™s pet bill. But DJT asked for 5 more Republican seats in Congress.

Billionaire corporations depend on their workers to keep them running. There would be no profits without the workers.

Unions are a great way to remind bosses of that.

I just saw a video of Hakeem Jeffries saying Greg Abbott was all hat, no cattle.

Honestly, I'm having a lot of mixed emotions about it. Because, for one, he's right. But for two, he's from New Jersey. ๐Ÿค

When they criminalize dissent, they declare war on freedom. Resistance isnโ€™t just an optionโ€”itโ€™s a duty. Obedience in the face of tyranny is betrayal.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation.~ T.JeffersonSometimes you gotta break the rules to save the republic

Everyone says give up on TX when Texas has been the blueprint for what the rest of the country is about to come. Greg Abbott is declaring martial law in order to steal the House for the rest of the country. And Democrats who have stayed to fight for TX are fighting for America.
