I can't even begin to imagine his heartbreak 💔. I hope that his fellow marines will support him and help him and others get their family members back from ICE.

Can you reach out to your international journalist connections and have them amplify this?

This from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on the media's anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement is such a great point

I know... I promise I've ordered only a few things from Amazon since last November.

I just ordered this! You know who is afraid of sharks.

My dad believes in vaccines and that Biden won. It's money and racism, being woke, messages from fox news.

I have a MAGA dad. He really believes that the stock market performs better with Republican presidents. That is his #1, followed by the damage liberals have done. I'm a scientist. He's been brainwashed by fox news.

Great point!

She can afford that now that she's pimped herself out to the people that made Tomas wealthy and paid off Kavanaugh's debt.

America has committed an unbelievable amount of atrocities that a majority of Americans have no knowledge of.

Shel @shel60.bsky.social · 1d

I agree with you. I took every history class in high school in the 80s it was never talked about. And as I said, I had a family member, a Japanese father, in one. My point is that more people know about the Holocaust and it might make them wake up to what's happening here now.

Shel @shel60.bsky.social · 1d

While I see your point, people are disappearing at an alarming rate. There are more Americans who have never heard of the camps here but do remember the Holocaust. More people will see that connection. I personally had a family member's father in the camps here.

The GOP is trying to replicate the Russian and Chinese oligarchs. I don't know how long or if we can recover. Zuckerberg , Musk, and Murdock created the environment that has allowed this to happen. Fight to block them.

White people need to get out in masses and protest this shite.

New Jersey — voter registration closes tomorrow! Go to nj.gov/vote to check your registration, make a plan to vote on or before November 4, and check with your friends and family to make sure they’ve done the same!

I'm struggling with overly optimistic friends who don't think things are as bad as they are right now or it that it couldn't possibly get worse.

Imagine moving from Wisconsin to Missouri. Talk about a state going backward.
