Charlotte, NC school
Attendance Report
(per a teacher friend):

“Over 300 students from our school were absent today. I only had eight students out of 20 show up. So sad.”

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

IF YOU THINK YOU LOVE FREEDOM BUT YOU DON'T CARE IF IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE, WHAT YOU ACTUALLY LOVE IS PRIVILEGE

I send you peace my friends

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org

Never have all of our Generals from all branches of the military been called together like this - what's the plan, Pete? This is NOT normal or safe.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

On this day, we remember that labor should be entitled to all it creates. But in reality, billionaires pocket the fruits of our labor for themselves. This makes us poorer individually and collectively, as essential needs go unfunded so that the rich can enjoy our riches.

Reminder: The United States is a religious freedom nation.

We can’t and won’t be told by the government how to pray.

Know your rights if stopped by police in D.C. * Ask: “Am I free to leave?” and “Am I under arrest?” * If police stop you, they might ask if they can search you. You do not have to give the officers permission to conduct a frisk or a search, though in some circumstances they can do so anyway. Telling police that you do not consent to a search is a good way to protect your rights to the greatest extent possible. * You do not have to answer questions that police ask you, except to give your name and address if asked in some situations. * If you are arrested, you should tell the police that you are invoking your right to remain silent (say so explicitly) and that you want to speak with a lawyer. From there, you should not answer any other questions, except your name and address if asked. * If you are detained by ICE or Border Patrol, you have the right to hire a lawyer, but the government does not have to provide one for you. Ask for a list of free or low-cost alternatives. * It can be dangerous for people to argue about police misconduct in the street, especially for Black and Brown people. Keep yourself safe and file a complaint later.

Some useful advice fromt he the ACLU.

Washington, DC is so lawless, just the other day I saw a pedophile, rapist, white collar criminal wandering around on the roof of the White House. Get him, National Guard!

January 6th, only this time, the whole city. And with the military.

“These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you have seen don't do it justice. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage.”

Sign in widow - make America good again

Good morning

Title: The Big, Bullshit, Bill has passed. Logos for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.

Text: This bill will be devastating to millions of Americans and immigrants. We will see prices for every day goods sky-rocket even more. People will die due to not having access to the medical care they need. With their new budget, ICE will truly become Trump’s Gestapo. Kidnappings and deportations of immigrants will only increase. More camps will be built. This only scratches the surface on what this bill will bring upon America. But, that doesn’t mean our work is over. Logos and websites for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.

Text: Take a minute to take it all in. Scream. Cry. Whatever it is you need to do. Then, act. It’s okay to feel defeated. To be angry. To be terrified. But, it is NOT the time to give up. It is the time to fight ever harder. As said by John Lewis, “Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” Logos and websites for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.

Text: The time for meaningful action is always NOW. Get out into the streets. Build and protect your community. Organize mutual aid. Hold your representatives accountable. Call out ICE sightings on social media, People over Papers, and ICEBlock. Donate to bail and immigration funds. Boycott companies who support MAGA policies. Educate yourself and those around you. And, so much more. Every act of resistance contributes to the cause. Our mission hasn’t changed. We must continue to fight for our democracy. Logos and websites for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.

Now is not the time to despair. Now is the time for action.

This bill is a devastating blow against the American people. It will make retaking our democracy much more difficult.

However, our mission has not changed. They win when we give up. We must continue the fight.

Can’t make this up.

Oh, look! They're celebrating the Fourth of July in France as well.
