resistance through art
And everyone who doesn't like it can go to prison. How can the UK government be this complicit with genocide?
Every day I am going to post this (permission from Del Schilling). Will you join me? Over 5700+ Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls #MMIWG #cdnpoli
I agree that Americans have bigger health problems than many other countries but.... We have laws that ban many harmful chemicals in food. We have social security networks to help our poor and vulnerable. We have healthcare. We have education.
Trump and his billionaire backers know the strength of collective action and organizing. That's why they spend millions to crush unions.
It's really sad and depressing that we are forced to fight at this level of stupidity.
A Conservative Canadian Province Backs Off a Book Ban. Alberta ordered schools to pull “inappropriate” books, but paused its plan after a large school district banned scores of books in an apparent effort to make a point. Well done, bravo 👏 I love librarians❤️
Wow, impressive ❤️
This is nothing new. Decades ago a book titled "The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women" was published. It's time to make real changes in all aspects of show business and stop the exploitation of young people.
Yes of course these trans people must be stopped. By doing this we will eliminate school shootings.
The sad thing is that they're not making decisions about their own bodies but their children's bodies and continuing health.
Today survivors of Epstein and Maxwell’s human trafficking spoke out, demanding accountability and justice. “Congress must choose: Will you continue to protect predators or will you finally protect survivors?” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
I just left a meeting where I heard the heartbreaking and inspirational stories from victims of Jeffrey Epstein. I signed the bipartisan petition to force a vote on releasing the full files. This is about protecting women and holding the rich and powerful accountable. Enough is enough.
Any Senators here? I’m a biomedical scientist with immunology, cancer, infectious disease expertise. RFK Jr lied to you in his confirmation hearings. Repeatedly. Provably. He’s lied to EVERYONE for 30+ years. Repeatedly. Provably. He WILL lie today. Repeatedly. Provably. 1/
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
This is worse than it looks. Can anyone bomb whom ever they like now? In international waters?!!
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
================== Why Pine Tree Activism? ================== Good Sunday morning!. It's bright, sunny, and warming up. Welcome new followers! I appreciate your interest and faith in the content here. I post this from time to time to explain the background to choosing the name Pine Tree Activism.
REP. BUDDY CARTER: What eroded confidence in the CDC was the covid vaccine BEDINGFIELD: Who was president in 2020?
🚨🚨🚨 This video is just over an hour old now. The judge’s order to halt of the deportation of 600 children to Guatemala was upheld - for now! The person who made this video was threatened. Details on the following post.

Masked ICE aren’t about safety; they’re about fear and evading responsibility. Demand transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition:
This is a must watch.
I took PragerU's Oklahoma Teacher Certification Exam so you don't have to. Question highlights in this thread:
Well I was hoping he was dead or at least half way there.
I thought I knew enough for the good (the people) to balance the bad (the politics). 40 years in and I feel like a fool. The people only needed a person in power to allow them to release their hatred, racism, misogyny and xenophobia.
This weekend would be a great time to join your union. If there isn’t one, it would be a great time to organize!!! #UnionStrong #Solidarity
Here in the far north where winters are dark and long and summers short and wet we have most of the inhabitants on antidepressants. We're depressed but we don't go around shooting school children.
😂😭
Children are expected to go to school every day. I see no difference. I can not imagine living with the fear of that, not as a child or as a parent.
Then never read R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. There are few writers who like to kill off their characters as much as Martin does.

"Is he dead yet" has become the equivalent of "Are we there yet" It's been a dark and deadly road
If it's a ploy to see how beset by grief the world would be by his death, I don't think it's going as he hoped.
Like the Rolling Stones so famously said; "You can't always get what you want". Let's hope we get what we need.
CINDY MCCAIN: “The desperation is overwhelming.”
I live in a country that had almost zero non-whiter than white inhabitants 50+ years ago. Our food was boring and bland. Our coffee stale and burnt. Every aspect of our lives has improved with the arrival of people from other cultures.
They are disappearing undesirables. They are deploying the military into cities. And now they are trying to commandeer railway stations. I can’t put my finger on it but this sounds familiar.
It should be a huge story. Imagine trying to get your kids to understand why their family abroad is not sending them gifts anymore.
After 25 years it's a go? The wheels of justice really squeak slowly.
My thoughts and 🤬 are with you, they really are. I just can't understand why everyone is standing around with their dicks in their hands doing nothing. The revolution is here. It's time to man the barricades.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
Just in case you forgot…
Why? Just why?
All workers need an organization that has their back when there are disputes or wage negotiations. Workers are stronger together.
We're still boycotting Starbuck, right? And the Coca Cola Company? Along with Nestlé and KFC and Macdonald's? There are plenty of small, local coffee shops and fast food joints to choose from. Don't give your money to global criminals.
No Western Country constantly spews prayers in their daily life. This is utterly ridiculous.
The slope just got more slippery.
The urge to say; "We told you" is so overwhelming I feel like I need to yell it out loud while I run in circles.
www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... You judge people by the company they keep. Trump and his cronies really are the definition of pedophilia.
Turns out the plant they outlawed helps more people than it hurts. 🐝 #auspol #LegaliseCannabisParty
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
I support this rule.
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
In honor of sandwich guy getting out of his legal pickle, here is the original video synced with Freedom - George Michael 1990.
These people must need a tongue scraper to get the shit off after all this arse licking.
Couldn't come at a more proper time.
These guys should be home with their families.
Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
and Iceland and New Zealand and probably many more.
If arresting bike delivery workers is about safety, then lawmakers should be all for requiring the companies that employ them to give them safety gear, right? Oh I see, it's just about making life hard for low-wage workers. www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/25/d...

Unfortunately this is happening globally. I bought a house 6 years ago and it has more than doubled in price.
Truth Art! #arresttrump #art
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Marco Rubio 🤮 : a lifelong politician now serving as Secretary of State. He froze USAID—dooming humanitarian programs—and answered only to donor checks. Decades in power, no purpose outside power. Greed in a suit, betraying lives for political gain. Disgusting. Rubio is American rot.
This hits right on time… My wife and I had the great privilege of visiting the African-American Museum in DC, and let me just tell you if you have not been…It is a masterpiece—go.
Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank
Explain to me like I'm a four year old why Greg Abbott cares so much about my privacy and safety in a woman's bathroom yet disregards my right to privacy and safety in a gynecologist's office?
Welker to Lavrov: "Here are the facts. Close to 50,000 civilians have either been killed or injured in this war. Russia has hit maternity wards, churches, schools, hospitals, a kindergarten just this week. So either the Russian military has terrible aim or you are targeting civilians. Which is it?"
Republicans had a choice: expose child s*x traffickers or protect Trump. They chose Trump. They chose traffickers. They are the party of child s*x trafficking.
F*ck‼️ Fort Bliss Army base used for a WWII Japanese internment is now the nation's largest ICE detention center.
Found it
Listen to the women!
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."
The Republican Party is just one big child sex trafficking and sexual abuse ring at this point
Andrew McCabe casts doubt on Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with DOJ: “It‘s so suspicious. When you listen to the tapes, you get the sense that Ghislaine Maxwell went into that room knowing what information she had to deliver…to get some sort of benefit that she is pursuing from the administration.”
Beware Target 🎯 Remember and repeat after me; We Will Not Shop at Target!
A leaked interview with a wealthy Utah politician describing how he adopted a Native child sparks outrage from the girl’s biological family, who wanted to raise her themselves. This week from @revealnews.org:

I loved the NY Times games. I did them every morning while I drank my coffee in bed. I deleted the NY Times app and the Games app some weeks ago. I will no longer support a newspaper that lies on behalf of Israel and Zionism. From the River to the Sea Palestine Will be Free🇵🇸
www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... The New Zealanders the only ones. Most countries in Europe have suspended shipping packages to the USA. It is ridiculous to expect tax to be collected in the country of origin and then be paid to the US government.
🚨BREAKING: Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker launches an LGBTQ+ legal hotline to provide FREE legal advice on topics such as g*nital mutilation surgeries and immigration.
Game on.
If you're wondering if Trump is in the Epstein files, consider that Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked children into sex slavery from Mar-a-Lago. Let That Sink In youtube.com/shorts/mTxly...
Are we great yet???
I hereby request FIFA to remove all World Cup matches from the United States.
I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.
