The Art of Resistance

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

@grainsofsanity.bsky.social Ohhhh got it! In that case then yes, we should definitely just sit around and do nothing. Thanks for correcting me! Snide remarks from strangers on the internet are always the most impactful! Don’t you agree?

Is that like ‘thoughts and prayers’ or are you actually going to do something? Get these charges dropped against him!

California Democratic Party @cademocrats.bsky.social held their annual convention last weekend. There was a consensus that the rhetoric was much more progressive than expected. But will it translate into action?

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

Yes, they're doing it at 1am est to hide it. Join me in tuning in to spite them.

Los Angeles, is this good??? Karen Bass is giving half of our budget to LAPD, while the city has to pay out hundreds of millions in civil liability payouts annually for LAPD violence & misconduct.

The police are literally defunding the city.

Sticker for 1932 Detroit #MayDay parade. Printed 5 years before the @uaw.org formed and in the aftermath of the Ford Hunger March massacre, it speaks to the violence autoworkers endured to unionize their industry. From the Joe Brown Papers at the @reutherlibrary.bsky.social.

Thank you for documenting this. If I were a senator, you’d have my vote for leaderx

Here's an actual post in the Temu subreddit from two hours ago.

Remember how some people googled "did Biden drop out" before the election? Well, those people are finding out about tariffs now.

Amazon’s CEO contributed just 0.4% of his taxable pay to Social Security last year.

Meanwhile, Amazon’s median-paid worker contributed 6.2%.

Amazon's workers paid a 15x higher rate of their taxable income into Social Security than their CEO.

Scrap the cap.

Could you ever have imagined you would see a headline like this in your lifetime

Elon Musk's social media platform X sued Minnesota on April 23 over a state law that bans people from using AI-generated ‘deepfakes’ to influence an election, which the company said violated protections of free speech reut.rs/3Gotq8T

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

The majority of people —56% in the US!—are worried about climate change, but not activated.

Why not? Most feel helpless, hopeless, and don't know what to do. So more fear won't activate them. Rather, knowing what to do—and being invited to do it—will.

Where to start? With a conversation today. 🧵

You are equally responsible for everything that happens to this country. You know we’re keeping lists and your inaction puts you on it. Disgraceful.

Reporters need to stop showing up at the White House.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so.

Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

Is Chuck Schumer hoping that the drump administration will be ousted and he, as the highest ranking Democrat, will get backdoored in as President?

NEW: We @immcouncil.org just joined @nipnlg.bsky.social and @ccrjustice.org to file a habeas petition seeking an order requiring the Trump admin to end the indefinite imprisonment of Edicson Quintero, sent to El Salvador on March 15 with NO DUE PROCESS.

Like so many others, he deserves to be freed.
