i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course?

Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

LOL I encourage you to take a stroll around the touristy parts of Boston. Though to be fair, I think there was a very different point in rocking the merch before all of ~this~

Maybe @harvard.edu can make their money back selling merch. I'd rock a shirt rn

Elon Musk trying to prove his worth to online teens gets destroyed by commenters as he live streamed Path of Exile 2 whispers. Commenters said β€œYOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND WILL DIE ALONE” & β€œDIE” as he frantically tried to hide them, then lost his hardcore permadeath character due to Starlink lag.

β€œWe had literally 5-7 times as many people show up as RSVPs in most of the places where we held marches. What we were hearing throughout the day was the biggest problem that organizers of these marches were having…was that too many people were showing up.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on #handsoff

If a random dude starts going off about how awesome this shitshow will be for US manufacturing, just point to any item he owns and ask him to describe the process in detail, including material inputs and their sources, necessary machinery, labor, and the type and toxicity of byproducts generated.

Remember folks, if you're protesting and someone starts goading you to get violent, they're a cop.

If you get arrested or detained in any way, ask, "Am I free to go?" If they say yes, walk away. No? Shut the fuck up. Don't say anything else without a lawyer.

Good trouble, friends. Get busy.

North Carolina folks, check to see if that douchebag is trying to invalidate your vote. The citizen-created links are way easier. Because of course.

Share with all your NC pals.

If you know NC military overseas who voted by mail, they are highly affected.
