Voting isn’t the solution unto itself, but it’s critically important at the local level.

There will be 52,000 elections held next month alone, and many will be determined purely by turnout.

You know what to do.

The Ten Demands for Justice provide a roadmap toward abolition.

We passed them around at protests across the country

And local activists hand-delivered them to their city councils —

Pointless with a council comprised of white supremacists.

Fugitive Womb Act

40% of cops *admit* to abusing their partners

And it’s legal for cops to rape you in custody in 7 out of 10 states.

This isn’t a coincidence.

There are 250,000+ untested rape kits, nationwide. This isn’t a coincidence.

Cops used 83,000 cameras to track a single abortion patient — on her abuser’s tip.

If you’re at all interested in defending democracy or defeating Trump, this is a literal MUST WATCH

They labeled us criminals…

And things haven’t been this bad since Jim Crow.

“We show up at protests and just let ourselves get beat up for the optics, as opposed to actually doing tactics that might help us stop these machines” - Eric King

If you’re attending the No Kings, 50501, or anti-“ICE Protests”? Be prepared.

We have to act while there is still time. We don't want to get to the end of the "And there was no one left to stand for me" part of the poem.

“If the purpose of the anti-ICE apps is to track and alert neighbors about ICE: in self-sustaining communities, there’s no point.”

For anyone subscribed to Counterpunch, the “ICEBlock story” is out

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.
🧵

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

In one of the first tests of freedom of speech, the House passed the Sedition Act in 1798, permitting the deportation, fine, or imprisonment of anyone deemed a threat or publishing “false, scandalous, or malicious writing” against the government of the United States. Sound familiar????

Really
Why isn’t he being called out on the lies. What happened to real journalists

Speaking Spanish isn’t “un-American.”

It’s as American as the Super Bowl itself.

If you’re mad about hearing it, maybe ask yourself why.

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks look at the anatomy of the latest Trump shutdown.

The repubs have a shutdown once more,
Like with Trump they had three times before.
But what’s different in kind
Is they don’t seem to mind
There are suffering people galore.

Dear 82nd Airborne and Oregon National Guard: remember your oath to the constitution. And, not to follow illegal orders from a bunch of sociopathic idiots who want you to kill a citizen exercising their right to protest in a frog or chicken suit in Portland.

That is all.
