Okay, YES: I want to explore so much more.

Holy guacamole that’s freaking gorgeous.

‼️CONFIRMED: Nearly 7 million people turned out for No Kings today.

With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, today’s mobilization was 14 times larger than both of Trump’s presidential inaugurations combined, marking a historic moment of unity and resistance.
#NoKings

an actual gift of the internet age is how relatively easy it has become for non-wealthy people to maintain memory systems. both personal ones (photos, backups, searchable mail) and collective ones (wikis, archives, fan communities)

the glee with which that is being destroyed right now floors me

Thank you for sharing this essential reporting. This is so important for EVERYONE TO KNOW: if offered a contract, politely request 24 hours to review it. You could even say “with my attorney”.

Even fast food places. No money? Contact Legal Aid and get registered with them & review contract!

This smells a lot like following in Trump’s authoritarian anti-intellectualism funding cuts, freezes, and court challenges.

The time for nationwide unified action has come.

. @mayor.lacity.gov shows up to Little Tokyo and reacts to the 100 agent ICE/BP raid during @cagov.bsky.social ‘s press conference about redistricting.

Councilwoman Ysabel Jurado witnesses Border Patrol Agents arrest someone without a warrant. @eltragon.bsky.social asks her what is L.A. City Council doing about the raids?

Yeah, I appreciate the recent efforts from Newsom, great, now let’s arrest any of these ICE/DHS agents who break the law, and especially those whose actions lead to accidental deaths. They need to be held accountable for manslaughter.

Man fleeing Home Depot immigration raid is hit and killed by a car on the 210 Freeway A man fleeing on foot from an immigration raid at a Monrovia Home Depot ran onto the 210 Freeway, where he struck by a vehicle, officials said.

Weeks after a farmworker died from injuries sustained during a chaotic immigration raid at a CA cannabis farm, today a man fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot was struck and killed by a car on the freeway, also in CA.

Newsom: "Right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens and dozens of ICE agents. Do you think it's coincidental? ... people are scared ... you have a US Senator thrown on the ground. JD Vance -- his name is Alex Padilla, not Jose Padilla ... wake up, America."

From today's Newsom speech:

"There's another museum, not so far away from us, talks about those 53 days. Some of you know what I'm referring to. Wake up America—this is a serious moment."

He's alluding to the LA Holocaust Museum and the time from Hitler becoming chancellor to being made dictator.

Who agrees with AOC....

Can that fucker go any lower.....

Also, my gods, these contemporary truck commercials are so insanely pornographically MAGA these days. The jerking off of Trump is so disgusting.

(Just an interjection after watching a block of commercials on Disney+, because, yes, I pay to watch commercials now!)

I’m finally using Bluesky, and it’s refreshing to have a feed greeted with sane people who want to save our fast-crumbling democracy, which may have irrevocably already descended into such fascist territory now that Trump’s personal ICE army has boots on the ground in his DC citadel. These are facts

I would agree that these people are heroes. 😊

The Powers That Be have been carefully utilizing pretty impressive integrative sciences over the past generations to get us EXACTLY where we are today, Aug 14 25, in this exact scenario where basic American Constitutional rights have been stripped away, boots on the ground of his own ICE Trump Army.

This is correct. And we need to mobilize. Who cares what your official or unofficial political self-identification is!

IT DOESN’T MATTER.

We’re ALL GOING DOWN ON THIS SHIP together.

So maybe let’s help one another to try to survive together, helping one another, having each other’s backs?

THAT was them testing the water, and we didn’t do enough.

We didn’t arrest these agents for unlawful arrest, kidnapping, and violation of due process and therefore the CONSTITUTION, when we should have done everything to shut down that blatant step into full-fledged fascism.

Yes — we’re all so uncertain about how to properly resist this outright fascism, because we should have acted MONTHS AGO, when they tested out abducting a doctoral candidate from our streets of Somerville, MA, in broad daylight, for writing an essay calling for an end to genocide.

I appreciate your perspective.

To me, I took one look at the video, rolled my eyes at the blatant fragile male ego bullshit, then read the text. Caught a flash of a gold Trump window decal?

So we’re just going to allow this to happen? Frogs in a fascist pot that’s boiling?

Screen grab of 2024 US school shooting stats and map showing where the shootings happened. Marks on map correspond to the number of people killed or injured. Injuries & Deaths 38 School shootings with injuries or deaths. 69 People killed or injured in a school shooting 16 People killed

If there were 38 shootings that injure or kill a CEO in 2025 instead of school shootings we would have robust national gun reform before July 4.

This is the most brilliant post I have read today about Trump.

Yes. I will have to apologize profusely for not believing in an interactive afterlife wherein we retain our human memories first, THEN ask them about the abject national humiliation.

ICE used your taxpayer dollars to trick out a bunch of trucks in new livery, all painted black with "ICE" and a logo printed in gold on the side (and Trump's name in gold on the back window), then shoot a rap video in DC to post on social media.

I am not making this up.
