Left Coast Nation? Let’s lead the way! #LiberateCalifornia
Please share this resource. Domestic violence is a public health crisis. More than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. health issue. justice issue human rights issue. 💜 It’s time we treat it as such. www.domesticshelters.org/articles/end...
"Live and let live" is a perfectly valid attitude until some folks' idea of living involves the removal of people's rights and opportunities and, well, lives.
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Little difference remains between the US and its adversaries, the other leading police states. #FreeTheBear
Another exaggerated and mismatched statistic from Pallywood. "79% of Israelis opposed the establishment of a Palestinian state following the October 7 attacks" Obviously it's still a problem that "more than half .. were 'not at all troubled' by reports of starvation and suffering in Gaza"
"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals." ~Edward Snowden
Personally I think they have a right to exist, but go off.
Not apologizing for being sensitive to hate. Especially when it's subtle.
Screenshot of OP be viewed as an antisemetic trope.
When a society is threatened it tends to harden. Can't blame them all that much, as they have been facing threats for decades. trump stoked the same fear in the US, only here it's not justified.

He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
This is the way! Let’s do it @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
Don't agree with their govt., I honestly do not view it as a reflection of the Jewish people.
Bullying a community that represents just 0.3% of the global population sounds an awful lot like spineless insecurity.
Antisemitism - hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews. Fucking loser.
live your life in such a way that millions of people don’t joyfully await your demise
Cannabis heals. Yet the U.S. prison-industrial complex profits from criminalizing those who share it—through mandatory minimums, racialized enforcement, and private prisons exploiting the existence of the body's endocannabinoid system. It's a systemic injustice rooted in profit over public health.
NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history. According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.
California must replace everything the Feds destroy with our own version of the agency. The Red States and their fascist rulers may want to return to the Middle Ages, but we refuse. Not one step back! #LiberateCalifornia #FreeTheBear
Blue states banding together to make up for a Federal vacuum in health policy feels like the first step into… something.
Accountability will not spontaneously occur from within the US. Perhaps that will be California's job; until then, we need an international watchdog presence. #FreeTheBear
How long will we allow the fascist occupation of the California Republic to last? They use our own Fed tax dollars to terrorize us. Had enough? #LiberateCalifornia #FreeTheBear #AbolishICE
Right-wingers want to believe that white Christian nationalism means God ordained Trump to overthrow democracy and truth to be dictator for life regardless of law. Left-wingers want to believe a guy tased himself in the balls on J6. We are not the same.
We spend so much time talking about the harms of systemic racism and I think sometimes we don’t allow ourselves to take a moment to say, actually it’s personally, emotionally hurtful
when i say that i'm an abolitionist, i am talking primarily about state violence including policing and incarceration; but i'm also very down for getting rid of grammar police and horny jail
People enjoying their hobbies isn’t preventing revolution; lack of solidarity is (strike funds, etc.) and the fact most people live hand to mouth. Practicing joy is a revolutionary act under fascism. Do the things you love and help your neighbours.
🇺🇸 Democracy is strength! 🗳️ Democrats don’t just talk about change – we make it happen! 💪✨
Republicans believe in freedom -- for themselves. As the left works tirelessly for a better world, the right clings to deeply entrenched and cynical beliefs regarding human nature. Different futures. Blue states need to work together to improve their autonomy. #LiberateCalifornia
⚡️ Trump is a 'Russian asset,' Portuguese president says. Questions about Trump's possibly shady relationship with Russia and the country's security services have long swirled.
truly baffling that a culture obsessed with machismo and swimming in semi-automatics would struggle with gun violence
We live under fascist occupation. Had enough? #FreeTheBear #LiberateCalifornia
🔥 For motivation: “Each day is a new chance to keep democracy’s light alive. We won’t let the darkness win.” 🕯️💙
#LiberateCalifornia
California needs to create everything the Feds are destroying. We can’t count on them and need to stop wasting our money by sending it to DC. Only we can save us now! #LiberateCalifornia #FreeTheBear
law enforcement officials will receive qualified immunity as long as whatever egregious abuse they commit isn't *exactly* like a previous egregious abuse which was litigated... and dismissed unless it wasn't also exactly like a previous egregious abuse.
Most red states are controlled via de facto (or more intentional) fascist single party rule and have been for decades. They want to spread that poison to California and destroy our open and inclusive democratic culture. Let’s get out before they succeed! #LiberateCalifornia #FreeTheBear #VoteCNP
It’s time to cast off the shackles of our oppressive occupiers. Forcing our people to live in fear and hide from the US Gestapo is not governance, it is terror aimed at the heart of our families, communities, and workers. Only peaceful liberation can save us now. #FreeTheBear #LiberateLA

All existing political parties, including Dems & other third parties, ignore the reality that the Supreme Court is now a politicized body & influenced by Trump appointees. CA MUST have independence to protect civil rights & liberties! Democracy is non-negotiable! #ForbesForCA #FreetheBear
As blue states prepare to deny federal agents access to their databases, their highways, maybe even their airspace, the soft secession isn’t coming. It’s here. #FreeTheBear #ForbesForCA
We probably shouldn’t normalize deploying the military domestically.
It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.
While Trump’s regime undermines democracy, equality & truth, California upholds them. From protecting voting rights to embracing pluralism, we’re proving America can be done better—by Californians. #LiberateCalifornia
Every person can be politically powerful. Here are four of the most powerful political actions someone can take to decolonize & support a peaceful, prosperous new order: 1. Vote socialist left/climate action 2. Go vegan 3. Go green 4. Educate yourself on all the left issues #unitetheleft
To those who would call our cries for Californian independence is “unpatriotic”… There is nothing more patriotic than honoring & upholding the foundations set in the Declaration of Independence. This includes forming a new government to protect the freedoms of our people. #FreeTheBear #ForbesForCA
‘Live & let live’ -vegans
Do we not have a moral obligation to make kinder choices when modern society allows us the privilege of doing just that? #FriendsNotFood
The playbook of demagogues like Trump is to protect the Oligarchs by dividing us up based on race, religion, place of birth or sexual orientation. They want us to hate each other while they laugh all the way to the bank. Don’t fall for it.
The rift between California and the US isn't helped by their descent into a white ethnostate.
Universal basic income is cool but doesn’t solve the problem that like 60 people own all the world’s resources…
Normalizing human rights abuse adds to more. The trumputin axis cheers for this. Obviously change is needed. #FreeTheBear
When we talk about authoritarian oligarchs, Putin is the model. He is worth some $200 billion, kills dissidents and rigs elections. And he started this horrific war in Ukraine. We all want peace. But any peace talks must include the Ukrainians. It’s their country.
AI will help climate change.
As is well established... diseases are far, FAR, more dangerous than vaccines. How is the research and prevention of communicable diseases making America great? (It's not!) This is a systematic destruction of America by the fascist elite. Had enough? #FreeTheBear #VaccinesWork
Project 2025 will take years to undo. #FreeTheBear
David Attenborough: "The planet can't support billions of meat-eaters. If we all ate only plants, we'd need only half the land we use at the moment."
Why do we let fascists who hate us rule us from three time zones away? They don't understand our open and inclusive culture, and they are terrorizing us by attacking the lives, families, communities, and workers who make us strong and rich. Let's get out of this dying fascist empire! #FreeTheBear
