I really hope you’ll take a moment and listen to Chris Hedges, author of America: The Farewell Tour. He gives an excellent breakdown of the difference between the Corporatists (Democrats) and the Oligarchs (Republicans). Our choice now that the oligarchs have won? Tyranny 👑 or revolution ✊🏼.
1/2 🇺🇦🚨Call to Action from Kharkiv | Join me in using social media for good. Let’s turn visibility into logistics. 🇺🇸I am volunteering with Chervona Kalyna, and their humanitarian service has an urgent need for 🥔potatoes and vegetables. They also deliver warm meals to displaced Ukrainians near the..
We can block them.
Don't forget that these people are part of Vance's tribe. They are more hateful and dangerous than Tlump. We don't need him as president. A thread:
Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.
Video was going around: 🤣 www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-...
I did not know she was a Latina. Ffs. Self hate.

Black men understand well. It's unfortunate they can never let their guard down.
MASSIVE ICE SURGE COMING STARTING TOMORROW
I am horrified.
Reach out and get that family out of Iowa. That is scary to watch. Those "good 'ole boys" could have killed him.
Yes. I heard of it. Thanks!

It's not coming at the speed we need it to. All we can do is keep pushing back, against the hate.
I am well aware. Knowing this doesn't change the speed at which the church evolves, unfortunately. As more people outside the church evolve, it will feel more pressure to do the same. The new Pope is 69. At that age, change is slower. Younger generations will have different ideas.
The world’s leading genocide scholars’ association has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president says. There was no immediate response from the Israeli foreign ministry.
Russia seems weak in many ways.
When people learn better, a number of them do better. Many older folks came around to accept LGB people. It's never a lost cause.
Thanks. I hope the new Pope evolves. I read he may be more conservative on this issue. I'm glad about this meeting. It's a start.
Here. I found this. He was against surgeries. I have not found that he was against transgender folks, but he came out strongly against the surgeries. www.newsweek.com/pope-francis...
You took that at face value. I don't know if it's true or not. I've never heard about it. glaad.org/pope-francis...
Please share that, I would like to read it. glaad.org/pope-francis...
So glad!

Labor Day weekend kicked off with protests in Washington, D.C. as workers demand action on union-busting and inequality. bit.ly/4pdrUsi
Wow Asheville NC Workers over Billionaires: a band performed by the protesters for a very energetic rally!
¡Gracias!
A Baltimore jury just delivered a historic $62M verdict against a ghost gun dealer—the largest ever in America. As a trauma surgeon in Baltimore, I’ve seen the devastation these weapons cause. And as Chair of the Board @bradyunited.org, I’m proud we helped litigate this case alongside the city.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore ran with state trooper candidates in Baltimore this week shortly before their graduation.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sounds like a MAGA.
A plane carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was hit by GPS jamming as it was readying to land in Bulgaria yesterday, the EU said this morning, adding Russia was suspected to be behind the incident.
Are they going to allow Russia get away with everything?
If we sit back and do nothing.
Fyi, there are people marching in the streets. I don't think everyone is aware about how much resistance is happening in the courts. Good video.
Will the 2nd Amendment protect us? Don’t be silly. But the 6th might. Let’s discuss.
Ro Khana is one of those folks that is out there saying some right things, now. He is useful, in this moment. He cannot be trusted, and I hope he doesn't run for higher office. I hope they replace him, with someone better, but he's fine for now.
We need to a communications committee, and buy in from the rest of us on messaging. It's not going to come from leaders.
I've brought up the need for it, but I wield no power. Peter Pomerantsev has appeared on podcasts that can be found on Youtube. We need a propaganda initiative. We need people who are well versed in current politics and policies to push back on disinformation. youtu.be/zFFhvH-WzYM?...
Interesting. I wasn't familiar with cuñadismo. I just looked, and it also referred to favoritism, and nepotism. www.fundeu.es/recomendacio...
I was going to mention Spain, because that word is used so commonly there. Too funny!
Two small planes collided midair at Fort Morgan Municipal Airport in Colorado, resulting in one fatality and three injuries. The FAA and NTSB are investigating the incident. news.yahoo.com/news/article...
Early diagnosis, understanding, and support can make a difference.

🤣 I hadn't heard that one. Which country is this most popular in? It's funny.
Trump's FEMA
Finding the truth about conflicts in difficult to access regions is a challenge. Read as we take you through the processes required to identify and verify what is really happening in a conflict, using the recent violent uprisings in Manipur, India as an example. www.bellingcat.com/news/rest-of...
I don't think we should go back to watching them, just because this ends, either. No collaborator should be automatically forgiven. They won't learn a lesson.
I totally get it. It's exploitative for translators have other specializations, and interpreters too. It needs to be fixed.
Associate traumatic events, agencies, and initiatives with those people, when they're related to negative experience. Repeat it. Make it stick.
I think it's important to differenciate between government agencies when run under Trump, and when they're not. Those agencies served a purpose before he came along. There will be a negative association with their names, now. I suggest we use terms like Trump's FEMA.

Exactly.
I asked for the same.
@govwesmoore.bsky.social Many blue states are issuing their own guidance, removing federal restrictions, allowing citizens the opportunity for citizens to be vaccinated. I hope Maryland has something in the works.

He doesn't care.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
I like Nance. Once in a while, I don't agree with him. He has helpful insights. He's a no nonsense, straight talker, and his communication style can intimidate some folks. 😅 He's going to tell it how it is. Not me. Thanks for sharing! It's hard to keep up with everything.
It's not. It already isn't. It's entirely up to the people. If they stand up in large numbers, things may be o.k., sooner rather than later.
Thread: These people are having fun, per their own statements. Remember that for the trials.
this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
I needed to laugh.
Can you imagine Lincoln wearing a hat like this? What are we even doin' y'all?
Crazy thought. Every single one of us shoud have a common account, or accounts we follow, elsewhere. We need to keep some type of communication link going. Anything can happen, and they can cut off communications, some way.
HAPPENING NOW: Emergency hearing before Judge Sparkle Sooknanan is underway. I'm live posting for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow updates in the thread quoted below 🧵⬇️
They have to show their competence in ways that it won't be turned against them. If he pushed back too hard, MAGA would have a field day accusing a strong Black man of attacking an older white woman. Please stop watching all legacy media. Boycott = resistance
People are criticizing him because he wasn't more forceful. He struck the right tone. I'm saying this respectfully, to the mostly white folks saying it was not enough. Understand that Black people have to walk the line between being strong and risking being called aggressive.
It's annoying that people won't boycott. Do they really want to beat fascism?!
I don't watch any of them. People need to take their viewership. They need to support the growing independent news space on this side of the aisle.
It's easier to control a population, when they are sick and vulnerable. MAGA won't take care of themselves. Resisters must take care of themselves and others. You hate masking? Resist like hell to get a functioning government. People are being denied vaccines. Masking up, properly = resistance
That has been the case for a few years. It's dissapointing to see so many people be so careless.

The 6ft guidance is problematic. It can spread further away, than that. It will not always keep you safe in poorly ventilated places. It's unfortunate that the public was never given the correct and full information needed to understand COVID. youtu.be/GAvO_QdO9eM?...
I do and I live my life as I did before, with a few restraints.
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ There's no excusing it. They did not live by their beliefs.
Some of us never stopped masking. I don't give a dern what people have to say about it.
States have a lot of power to dictate health policy for their residents. The New Mexico Department of Health has issued a public health order to help ensure all New Mexicans can access the COVID-19 vaccine. I hope other states follow suit. www.nmhealth.org/news/vaccine...
You cannot afford to despair, only to act.
This is the conversation people are not happening. People think when he goes it will be a party. People need to be ready, for things to move fast. 👀 youtu.be/Y77DhqOOrL4?...

🤣
I will still go vote.
After all of this, who isn't doing something to push back? There are many ways to participate. If you aren't lifting a finger, you're wrong for it. Things will get worse if more people don't help.
You are right and it's true that he can cause a lot of harm. Either way, he derives much of the power from the people. We have no choice but to resist. People can be frightened but if they are not actively doing what they can to push back, they are cowards. If he gets away with it many will die.
