Before I shop at a large retail store, I find myself researching the owner’s or CEO’s political leanings. What’s weird world we live in these days.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".
Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….
JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?
If, in 10 years, we don't have a set of Minneapolis Trials to look back on the way we do the Nuremberg Trials, it will be a profound failure — of governance, of morality, and of society.
His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse.
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.
And they executed him.
This is Renee Good.
She was a mother of a six-year-old child.
She was an American citizen.
She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”
And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.
White Christian nationalism isn’t a Black problem.
It isn’t a Muslim problem,
a queer problem,
a Jewish problem,
or an immigrant problem.
White Christian nationalism is a white-Christians-living-in-America-who-care-about-the-teachings-of-Jesus, problem.

You guys, I can't just sit here and do nothing. Protesting is great but they are not working. We need to do something! Please help me share this - maybe I'm completely delusional, thinking it will work but I'd rather try something, instead of just watching our country descend into authoritarianism.
Samantha Fulnecky didn’t do the assignment.
She failed.
She cried discrimination and whined to right-wing media personalities.
The University of Oklahoma has now erased the grade and punished the instructor.
This is what academic cowardice looks like.

Is it x $1B for each individual or x their total net worth?
Thinking this is wrong isn’t radical.
Thinking it isn’t is.
This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.
I was tagged in a post on Twitter yesterday pointing out the fact that my Congresswoman, Ann Wagner, is trying to rile up Trump’s base by claiming that people in the state of California are trying to stop the gerrymandering that’s happening here in Missouri. Unfortunately, Ann Wagner couldn’t even take 10 seconds to read the tweet she was quoting to see that the article, published in the California Democrat, is based out of California, MISSOURI. California, MO is only a short 20 minute drive from our state capitol. You’d think a United States Congresswoman would be smarter than this, but here we are. Just one more reason I’ve thrown my full support behind Wellman For MO! We deserve representatives who are serious people. Ann is not one of them. Thank you to @LichenTheOzarks on Twitter for catching this!
We’re being governed by idiots. Please help me get @wellmanformo.bsky.social elected to Congress! #Mo02 #Missouri @fpwellman.bsky.social
We live under a 24+ year Republican supermajority that not only is okay with, but legislates young girls…children, giving birth, and being married off.
I cannot overstate the importance of paying attention to your state’s politics. No excuses. None.

Larry may have indeed been punished. That community should be ashamed of themselves.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.
Trump and his voters have put us through so much pain and not one of his supporters has a higher paying job or cheaper healthcare or a better education for their children or new roads or sidewalks or hospitals...
Nothing is better. Everything is demonstrably worse.
Powerful.
Why the Future of Atheism Looks Bright (Despite Everything) — with Hemant Mehta (@friendlyatheist.com) Sat, Nov 22. Doors 6:30 p.m.; talk 7–8 p.m.
A hopeful look at secular values and what’s next.
All are welcome!
The reality is that No Kings has partners of all faiths and none. Plus veterans, LGBTQ orgs, environmental advocates, and good government groups. The protests look like the real America — not the homogeneous, ahistorical America Johnson and his ilk want for us (and are desperate to pretend existed).
Pay attention!
They are targeting:
Free speech
Voting rights
Legal status/immigration
History of slavery
Women’s rights
LGBTQ rights
Law firms
Media
Colleges
Books
Education
They’re trying to bring religion into schools.
They’re trying to create a police state.
What more proof do you need?
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
PBS is offering educators access to their Civics Collection for FREE to help equip students with the knowledge and skills to be informed and engaged citizens. With the attacks on public education, this is crucial.
I emailed this to my kid’s superintendent and School Board. You should too.
What’s one small action someone did for you that made a difference? How can we amplify those everyday kindnesses into big change?

I agree with this 💯.
