DHS surveilling and tracking people exercising their First Amendment right to free speech is another dangerous step along the road to fascism. 

We, the People cannot and will not be silenced. We must keep protecting our rights by exercising them.

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

Hey friends, here's some information about the "State of the Swamp” event being put on by the great @milestaylor.bsky.social. It’s set for 2/24 and will serve as counter-programming to the Orange Autocrat’s state of the union address. Go to defiance.org for details.

A new draft of the farm bill from House Republicans is being used to advance protections for pesticide manufacturers. The proposal includes language that would shield companies from state-level penalties or court rulings if their product labels don’t spell out potential health risks.

Is this making our communities safer? DHS agents are following children home from school & terrorizing them at bus stops.

This is the kind of impunity Republicans want to write another $10 billion check for.

Shame on them. Not another dime!

Nordic combined is the only Olympic sport that doesn't allow women to compete, despite athletes' efforts to change that. They say their odds for 2030 hinge on people watching men's events this week. n.pr/3MHquaZ
One Olympic sport doesn't allow women. These Games could determine its future

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy.

Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Hundreds of judges across the nation have ruled over 4,400 times that President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement arm is detaining people unlawfully, according to a new Reuters review of court documents.

And that’s just since October.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Somehow, all the programs that help the majority of Americans are decried as “wasteful spending,” but the ones that help billionaires aren’t…

Funny how that works.

Donald Trump ran for President saying he would lower costs “on day one.”

What's happened since he took office a year ago? Costs are up, up, up.

Leading with strength, generosity and compassion has been good for Americans and the world, but Donald Trump has abandoned these values. It’s no surprise when it’s what he’s doing at home too — abandoning working Americans to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
