So in addition to the Diet of Worms, there was the Concert of Worms?

Many of us at the time warned that DHS was a dangerous thing and would be used against Americans. We were called hysterical and un-American.

The Christian right for decades has fear-mongered that federal agents (under Dem presidents) would "criminalize" Christianity and literally prevent them from worshipping.

Now that Trump's stormtroopers are doing it ... crickets

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Immigration advocates protest Smith County ICE partnership Hundreds of immigration advocates gathered Tuesday morning in downtown Tyler to protest Smith County’s involvement with ICE’s 287(g) program.

The fact that this is happening in ruby red Tyler gives me joy and hope! www.kltv.com/2025/11/11/h...

I have trash R senators. But, as God is my witness, I will donate to candidates who primary any cavers.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

I can see where it would, especially since we’re going to have multiple cooks. My mother’s no longer able to cook, so my daughters and I have taken over fixing the meal. This is gonna make organizing that so much easier!

Ooh, I just added methods of cooking (oven, stove, etc) to my spreadsheet and will add cooking times! Thanks for the genius tip!

Pope Leo XIV challenges us to reflect on the moral cost of policies that target deeply-root immigrants and families.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

TIL @resist.bot has a character limit, and I exceeded it. Multiple times. (I may have been a tad pissed.) There just aren’t enough characters for all the shit this misadministration is inflicting on us.

It is very sad because my time at UT (early 80s) was the beginning of my political awakening. Going from East Texas to Austin and just breathing in all the activism on that campus was a revelation.

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

Punishing officials who lie in court and on documents is desperately needed to drag us out of the legitimacy of bullshit the Trump era has created.

They said they wanted guns to keep their freedoms. Turns out if you let them keep their guns, you can just take their freedoms

I am not ok with children, teachers and other innocents being shot.

I am also not ok with dipshits and other unpleasant people getting shot.

The USA has a problem with the fetishization of firearm ownership and this needs to be addressed!
