It is insane to expect protestors protecting their neighbors to behave like political strategists debating what will persuade the most voters.
These folks are having their community terrorized and disappeared. They’re not trying to win an election, they’re fighting for their lives.
A protest safety info graphic. It reads: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST — BUT BE CAREFUL — • DO NOT ENGAGE: Don’t argue or resist the police, even if they’re wrong. • AVOID NIGHT PROTESTS: Darkness hides the worst dangers and bad actors. • FOLLOW TRAFFIC LAWS: Stay out of the road unless permitted. • PROTECT YOUR IDENTITY: Keep yourself and others safe. • IF IT STARTS TO GET UGLY, LEAVE — DON’T RUN —
Project 2025 playbook—Trump wants to enact martial law.
It’s a set up. If you protest, keep that in mind. DO NOT GIVE HIM AN EXCUSE!

Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans.

I do think that, as insignificant as each protest might seem in isolation, the additive resistance across the whole country is helping us avoid worst case scenario.
We also have the advantage of information being able to spread like wildfire.
The repeat of history is not a given.
The arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is a warning sign of just how far Trump and his allies are willing to go to silence dissent. This is not normal. It’s authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.
This little guy is still looking for a home!
That’s awesome! No judgement at all, it just didn’t resonate with me.
Here’s 47 on a hot mic saying he wants to deport the home grown citizens and they need more prisons.
Agreed! I found it really interesting, even though I wasn’t too into the music
Have you seen the Yacht Rock documentary?
The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this.
We can't. We need answers.
Anyone still sleeping? Wake TF up!

Do not look away.
I love this so much
Now THAT’S some #GoodTrouble. #HandsOff
The People are showing up today! Love seeing all the photos and videos!
Still waiting for my multiple Soros checks…
Honestly, does Trump speak in a frequency that most journalists can’t hear?
This. All day, this.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad almost 3 years ago to Alzheimer’s. Angering that research funding is being cut.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
Ok. This one hurts.
Rest in peace Mr. Kilmer, I always admired your work.
Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
What Senator Booker is doing is historic. And important. Oher Democrats have joined in. www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
