Ethnic Cleansing, white nationalism, white supremacy. We have to end this national nightmare
Taxpayers paying for traitors getting exactly what the Constitution says they should get
I hope "attempted" is indeed accurate
There are plenty of other ways you can still help, even without stopping your important work!
62 years ago, Dr. King led the March on Washington with giants like John Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, A. Philip Randolph, and so many others. If you’ve ever wondered what you’d be doing during the Civil Rights Movement, this is your test. (1/2)
Saying it isn't doing it A general strike can grind this regime to a halt if people committed, and at this point that's probably the last actual option we have besides civil war
It's not difficult, yet America is the only place in the world still having this conversation
No. Fuck that shit take back to hell where it belongs

Everyone who believes in the power of prayer should just stand in front of the shooters then, so they can save us all with their amazing superpowers

If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
If politicians were beholden to people instead of paychecks we wouldn't be in half of the messes we're in as a country. Not only do we have to get money out of politics, we also have to elect politicians who aren't willing to accept blood money as bribes

Movie theaters, malls, grocery stores, places of worship, gas stations, sidewalks You can't hide from gun violence in this country, no matter what you do
Exactly. Most politicians aren't the voice of the people, they're the voice of the paycheck
We need to overhaul the Democratic party and take it away from big money corporations and consultants, and give it back to the working people
We call ourselves a civilized country yet we are the only country with this issue
Lifelong Republican, and legislative staffer, Ryan Davenport, speaks out against Trump’s Texas redistricting scheme. ‘We can’t vote for Republicans anymore because you abuse every ounce of power you are given and the only option we have left is to join the Democrats….’ Boom 💥
A perfect time to remind everyone that local elections matter: get out and vote, or become a candidate yourself, and help make the change you want to see in the world a reality
Cool, now let's return to demanding the full, unredacted release of the Epstein files, and in listening to and believing in the victims of child predators
Wow. America first going well I see
Rep. Veronica Escobar: "We need more people marching in the streets."
Nothing more extreme and dangerous than wanting equal rights for all, apparently
End stage capitalism. Hopefully it collapses into something better for us normal folks instead of the elites
I made the mistake of looking at that person's reply history. Pretty sure they are just a really toxic troll with anger issues
It would be, yes, were he actually attempting to end Russia's war in Ukraine
1. I disagree. America, as any country, has had its moral struggles and failings, but the soul of what was being striven for has always been good 2. The lack of self-awareness and irony of your "Americans can't talk right" statement is hilarious 3. Not wasting more time on you. Muted. Bye.
This is our USA USAID cuts wreak devastation across the globe Viola, a 23-year-old pregnant woman who, unable to treat malaria and lower her fever, miscarried People are left with no continuous care, and many have already lost their lives Surges in violence, neglect, abandonment, and child labor
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.
The soul of this country is dying
Honestly that would probably make him more angry than skipping entirely, so that would be reason enough to do it your way haha
Brisbane is the next after LA so they should just move the timetable up and skip LA entirely
At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if he stood on every podium and took the gold for himself every time
As an avid, lifelong Olympics lover my family is heartbroken, but dedicated in not watching. It must be so difficult for the athletes, who trained so long, sacrificed so much, and have such a short window of competitiveness at that level One of the many reasons why I hope they change venues
And nothing wrong with wanting to go in, in my opinion, as long as the company isn't forcing it on us. To the extent that we can, I think everyone should be given the option for what best fits their needs since there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't: Happy workers are productive workers
Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."
WFH affords an unprecedented level of work/life balance, removes commuting time/cost, keeps people who are sick from infecting others, and reduces the need for ugly office buildings; I don't know anyone who wants to return to their office, but several who have left over it, but each their own
They've already denied Little Leagues and Soccer teams entry for the crime of being non-white, so it wouldn't surprise me if the Olympics are incredibly monocolor

The Olympics would be wise to change their location anyways, since most of the athletes would be subject to arrest, abduction, inhumane treatment, humiliation, and punishment, all for the simple fact that a large group of White Nationalists can't handle their own glaring mediocrity
If he's so clean, then releasing the unredacted Epstein files should be the easiest win of his life
Agreed, we absolutely need prolonged action The only way to end this regime is to stop being a part of the machinations that allow it to operate: we need a general strike to grind this all to a halt generalstrikeus.com
Just leave this poor guy alone FFS Kilmar Abrego Garcia taken into ICE custody at immigration appointment "There was no need to take him into ICE detention. ... The only reason they took him into detention was to punish him" www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Time, and how we as a society choose to respond, will determine if he's right
“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” - Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundafion
The Civil War never ended, it just became a cold war for a few generations
Yup, needing record profits every single year to appease stockholders and the board is a guarantee for greed to be the only governing principle of any corporation. Capitalism in its purest form
The bullshit continues
Breaking news: Only 3% of the documents given to the Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. Pass my bill with Rep. Thomas Massie to force the full release of the Epstein files while protecting the victims.
And they'll still blame COVID, Tariffs, inflation, and any number of other excuses for continually raising their prices year after year
I sure hope the guard he sends realizes the illegality of what he's attempting to do
Near as I can tell they are some red state crybaby
"mistakenly" I prefer: "intended victim of targeted racism in a vicious, ongoing attempt at the ethnic cleaning of the United States by the corrupt, convicted sex offender and child predator Trump and his regime of white nationalists and neo-nazis"
Just release all the files and we'll all stop, it's pretty simple really
If they are worried, then they need to refuse at all costs to do so
Wow, that's a whole new level of cowardice!
Release it all or you might as well release nothing
He must have a home and office somewhere, I'm sure someone can find the information so you all can take the town hall to him more directly
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
Underage woman= Child Sex with an underage person= Rape
National Guardsman condemns colleagues' cooperation with ICE
Exactly right, scarcity is a myth and there is no excuse for it
A good politician should be able to achieve both good domestic policy and strong economic growth, so this should be an easy checklist to handle
Swear in school I was taught that Gerrymandering was illegal and unconstitutional, but ultimately was a solved issue I have some serious questions for Mr. Peruso and his so-called "American Government and Civics Class"
If you have to cheat to win, you shouldn't win; if you still are determined to cheat anyways, you should be removed from office for failing to abide by your oath of office
When we have Elites in our society who have enough fun money to send celebrities into space, we should without question have money for free, universal healthcare, free universal basic income, free meals for children, seniors and the vulnerable, and free housing for the homeless
Not even mildly true, but also a completely different scenario as well You keep trying to force comparisons to unequal circumstances in order to advocate for violence, despite a civil war being one of the very things that most threatens any long-lasting Democracy Bad faith arguers get muted. Bye.
The US was formed from overthrowing one type of governance for a completely different type of governance, same as France/Ireland's revolutions; not even close to the same thing The closest example is the American Civil War, which would decimate and devastate the US with zero guarantee of democracy
Following the link will answer pretty well all of your organization questions
🚨URGENT CALL TO ACTION🚨 The crisis in DC is worsening. Countless people were abducted last night and this morning. If you’re in Ohio, West Virginia, or South Carolina, DC needs your support NOW. Visit freedcproject.org/occupation to contact your governor and demand he recall the National Guard.
Make it a gated community, then lock the gate behind them so they can't come out until they are no longer racist piles of garbage
Unfortunately, violent revolution just as often, if not more often, leads to the very dictatorship/oppression the revolutionary was trying to avoid A violent uprising would lead to a civil war and eventual military junta which then, against their own interests, would need to abdicate their power
It's sad that building concentration camps and ignoring due process didn't qualify, but yes, for many Americans it will unfortunately take something ridiculously over the top to get them to actually stand up and do anything about it
"Have to" and "actually do" are two worlds apart, that's why we need to hold them accountable: because they won't hold themselves accountable
Part of the reason we are in this mess is our addiction to "bread and circuses", so boycotting any form of legacy media, Amazon, etc in favor of independent journalists and local media/business is a good idea, extending that: Boycotting the Superbowl, Olympics, etc, should absolutely happen too
Do you have access to the EPSTEIN Files? Want to be inducted into the Whistleblower's Hall of Fame, be glorified in history as the Savior of Democracy & have an annual holiday named in your honor? All of this can be yours if you simply: #LeakTheEPSTEIN-Files!* *victim's names redacted, of course
Most of it is just pretend anyways. If people were going to actually commit violence, they would go commit it, they wouldn't be cosplaying about it online to feel like Rambo, in my opinion

I cannot physically do so myself, so I feel it would be hypocritical of me to advocate for someone else to, but time will tell if you are correct in your belief
Check Trump's basement, probably some missing children there
And may those who advocate for its use be the first to practice it and show us all the way
Do you even hear yourself? "Let's NOT work for a better world where we say No to genocide and where we protect basic human rights" You're not worth the time if you truly think the genocide of an entire people and the removal of rights of another are inconvenient distractions Gross. Muted. Bye.
People have suggested rolling blackout strikes (as I'm all teachers strike, then all bus drivers, then all airport workers, etc) and I think that would be a fantastically useful method to get us going
Rebellion comes in many forms, all of them welcome and needed
By the time people feel compressed and threatened enough to step out of their comfort zones, the lift and sacrifice will be innumerable compared to what we would need to lift and sacrifice versus achieving it today and now; each day of inaction we allow, the hardship we'll have to endure grows
Crazy thing is Dems weren't speaking out against either of those things before the election, and the vast majority are still not speaking out against those things now, so we might as well replace them with people who will speak out AND fight the tyrant in office now that we're stuck in this timeline
And may those who advocate for its use be the first to practice it and show us all the way

Fascism is here. The fight is now. Get connected — fiftyfifty.one. Get trained — nokings.org/rise. Get bold — maydaystrong.org.
The crazy part is that there is already sworn witness testimony that talk about how Trump raped them as children. We don't even need the Epstein files for any of this, we just need to listen to and believe the victims

Very true, especially with how our current voting system is; every third-party vote in the last election was a win for Trump. It's broken and shouldn't be a two-party system with an electoral college, but you can't fix/improve our Democracy if it no longer exists after a candidate becomes president
If a candidate is supporting genocide, excusing away transpeople's rights, voting for GOP cabinet picks from Trump, and refusing to support Democrats who have won the support of the voting public, then I'd be bold enough to say that that candidate doesn't sound like a Democrat at all to me
