Now that's a military parade I'd want to watch!

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

We are horrified by these acts of unspeakable political violence. We mourn with the state and the families. As of now, we are proceeding with the No Kings event. 1/3

They gutted the NEA for these parades. US publishers, art organizations, artists, writers, theaters, music— you name it. All have had grants rescinded to fund the Chump’s political pageants.

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

Ah yes, the Secretary of Education would like to *learn* about one of the worst racial massacres in U.S. history. Inspiring stuff.

This is what I am saying.

This is a pocket civil war.

The House Ag bill released tonight would take away or cut #SNAP food benefits for millions of low-income people struggling to afford groceries—families w/ children, seniors, ppl w/ disabilities, veterans & workers in low-wage jobs.

Call it what it is: a purge of Black people and women in leadership and a full-throated effort to re-segregate the federal government.

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones.

I want to be super clear. The United States has a responsibility to go get every single person they have deported to foreign concentration camps and bring them back. That is the just and humane thing to do. Any politician not willing to say that is not worthy of service.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

I hate comparing things to burning the library of Alexandria but this NEH sculpture garden thing is like bulldozing the library of Alexandria to build a Bass Pro Shops.

It isn’t a ‘Prison’.
It’s a Concentration Camp.

A prison implies due process.
There was zero due process.

A concentration camp where
large numbers of people,
especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned
in a relatively small area
with inadequate facilities,
to provide forced labor
or to await mass execution.
