Peaceful protest is a legitimate right, not a threat to be answered with violence and suppression. We stand with the people of Iranβ€”and for human dignity and a future no longer built on fear and poverty. @eduinternational.bsky.social

In the past, they’ve done a similar thing - leak a tiny bit, bait Trump to deny it or try to explain it away, then release even more damning evidence that contradicts what he said and makes him even more ensnared. Happened with the classified signal chat.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Shutdown Day 33: 900k federal workers furloughed. That’s nearly the population of Austin, TX without paychecks.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wastedβ€”literally thrown in the garbageβ€”on purpose.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

When you equate opposing Trump with hating America, you're kinda making the whole point of the No Kings rally.

This is truly grotesque. Teachers should not be using this stuff. If a school was pushing it on teachers who work with kids I care about, I'd make a big effing stink until they stopped. We have to not give into this.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Opinion | Troops Could Help Portland if They Rented Office Space Trump’s dispatch of National Guard troops to Portland is another dangerous step toward politicizing America’s military forces.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

β€œCycling in the buff is a Portland specialty, and one organization has announced a naked ride β€˜in response to the militarization of our city,’” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes. β€œSuch is the war zone here.”
