Billionaires start wars. Our kids bleed for them. It won’t be Trump’s children dying in the Middle East — it’ll be working-class kids sent to die for his ego. If you won’t sacrifice your child for that, call your reps NOW. Block this war. Demand a vote.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Killing of Alex Pretti Put Democracy Back on the Ballot Minneapolis has convinced Democrats that the election can’t just be about affordability.

Trump decided to make the midterms about the core questions of constitutional rights and civil liberties. The Democrats are finally noticing. ICYMI @lauren-egan.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4aj0LhY

ImPortland, Maine, thousands came out today to protest ICE. #maine #portlandmaine #portlandme #mepolitics #ice #iceout
This was the biggest protest in Portland that I’ve witnessed.

We’re not fucking around anymore here in Minneapolis. #fuckice #iceout

The brave city of Philadelphia rose against the regime, protesting well into the night despite the cold temperatures

"Fight, fight, fight!
Fine people, fight ICE."

"Every city, every town,
fuck ICE, shut it down."

"No justice, no peace"

#3E #GoodVsEvil #NationalStrike #ICEOut

Tucson, Arizona has risen up against the regime and its violent ICE forces, the brave people of Tucson declare:

"Tucson doesn't stand with tyranny" "We must win, for your brothers and your sisters, friends and family, we have to fight"

#3E #GoodVsEvil #NationalStrike #ICEOut

Millions across the United States mobilized in a nationwide strike and mass demonstrations. From cities to rural communities, the people have risen, and the resistance grows.

End impunity, end oligarchy, end autogenocide, and abolish ICE. #3E #GoodVsEvil #NationalStrike #ICEOut

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” “My nation is under attack."

#3E #GoodVsEvil #NationalStrike #ICEOut

GO PROVIDENCE!!

Please read.

Beyond beautiful.
Particularly now.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

No words for this. Please share widely.

I'll take an "E", Pat.

This is exactly how we should do it.

Phang: Teachers are some of the least paid, most underappreciated people, and they work in such an intimate way in our lives. Your kids spend more time at school than they do at home, at least in waking hours. So why not encourage our teachers? Why create this oppressive environment?

Are you paying attention?

In Sudan, where children clung to life, doctors say USAID cuts have been fatal The Trump administration’s cuts to USAID had an immediate and deadly impact in war-ravaged Sudan, according to civilians, doctors and aid officials.

“Omran shouldn’t have died, doctors said. The physician at his clinic outside the Sudanese capital said basic antibiotics probably would have cured his chest infection.….the new U.S. administration froze foreign aid programs, and a stop-work order came down from Washington.”

Case in point I haven’t saved much for retirement in my 50s because I stayed part time when my parents were declining, then had a special needs kid but special needs childcare isn’t real, and my schizophrenic nephew keeps being denied disability and is out of money.

I'm now obsessed with this image of sailors on the deck of a U.S. Navy gunboat during the Civil War. The guy with the banjo. The guy with the pipe. The guy reading the newspaper. The guy holding a dog.

Post from "alt national park service" account reading "From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered. Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance." The 12.1 million figure is 300 percent more than every estimate produced by experts and scholars who carefully went through nationwide reports.

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Goldman on Trump's "Gestapo-like tactics" -- "We don't live in an authoritarian country where we have secret police who are masked, who are intimidating, who are scaring people. That's the stuff of authoritarian states. That's not how the US operates. And that's really where this is breaking down."

Republicans are trying to sell a bizarre fantasy on the economy Would you believe we're on the cusp of a miraculous eruption of prosperity unlike anything Americans have experienced before?

New in PN: Republicans are trying to sell a bizarre fantasy on the economy

"As they craft a radical budget bill, they're making claims as absurd as anything Trump offers, all adding up to a fantasy of the future so improbable that to examine it for a moment is to understand how ridiculous it is."
