🥹🥹 shaking up the status quo doing what people should’ve done a long time ago. We need to protect the minority, not the majority., And no, I’m not talking about the one percent #broligarchy

Oh, it’s coming. And that’s what they’re afraid of. There’s no turning back for them. They could stop all of this madness. The Republicans, the Senate, but they’re too deep and they will be held accountable.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 2d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

What are they so afraid of? Even the majority of Democrats aren’t supporting him? If this is a status quo wake up then people need to get on board or quit complaining about how things are!!!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

OK, so who’s going to be responsible for paying for all of these lawsuits? How can these so-called government officials be so happily harming citizens exercising their rights?

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 7d

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

“I reiterated again that there is no insurrection in #Oregon. Twice now, a federal judge has affirmed that there is no legal basis for military deployment in Portland.”

Happy World Teacher Day! Today, we honor the incredible educators who nurture young minds and shape their future.

They show up every day for our kids, so we must show up for them. That means fighting for fair pay, safe schools, and the resources every classroom needs to thrive.

The point is they have a never-ending pit of power and money! Once they have this, they have to maintain it at any cost. I don’t know. I guess we could look at Russia and see how that has worked out for 25 years.

It’s heartbreaking that that even has to happen. This is common trauma to the community, families, children, unnecessarily.
