Good morning bluesky resisters. We each in our own individual way can change the world. Do what you can when you can. And if you need a break, rest for the next "charge". We are making a difference!

Call US Senators and tell them to vote against the SAVE Act. It has already passed the US House. In its current form, it means that 100 years after women earned the right to vote, we are facing down the implementation of a 21st century poll tax for women.

What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger? Dow 50,000 is a milestone, not a measurement. The level of the Dow is basically arbitrary: it’s… "Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

My Latest: Contrary to many doomsayers, it is not too late to protect the midterm elections. There are steps Democrats can take now — at both the state and federal levels — to safeguard our elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week.

Photo of Olivia Rodrigo in a pink and black dress wearing an "ICE OUT" pin. A quote on the photo reads "ICE's actions are unconscionable but we are not powerless. Our actions matter." The quote is attributed to Olivia Rodrigo, artist and activist.

Olivia is right: When we come together, we can protect our neighbors and demand our rights be protected.

ICE can't be allowed to continue terrorizing our communities.

Something happened in Vermont that got very little press but is wildly important.

Peaceful protestors went to an ICE data center in Williston. DHS called the police.

The police REFUSED to arrest the protestors & left. DHS kept threatening them but eventually gave up.

Rice students expose ICE raids with new interactive map It's a nationwide digital spotlight on ICE arrests and detention centers.

College money well spent and needed.

Rice students created an interactive map exposing ICE raids across the country as they're unfolding.

Soon it will be a map of ICE raids and ICE murders.

Keep reminding Schumer and Dems.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

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

Let’s. GO.
