I stand with Professor @mark-bray.bsky.social and his family as they are targeted by TurningPointUSA and other far-right fascist sympathizers. I’m sorry the Bray family feels (justifiably) that they must leave this country for safety. I am an antifascist and proud of it. #ANTIFA

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Write and call, write and call, write and call while you still can. Let congressional Republicans know this can’t continue the way I’ve tried to let Congressman Riley Moore, Senator Shelley Moore Capito and Senator Jim Justice know here. #InsurrectionAct

Some guy on TikTok is threatening to release the Grindr profile of Mike Johnson. Please human, please don’t let God down. 🙏

Federal employee unions are putting Americans’ well-being first in this shutdown fight while the Trump regime is willing to shut the government down to protect the massive healthcare cuts they passed in July to give billionaires more tax breaks. #Shutdown

Federal workers unions call on Schumer, Jeffries to hold the line even if it means a shutdown

“Federal workers will willingly forego paychecks in the hopes of preserving the programs we have devoted our lives to administering,” the unions said.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

🚨 218 votes is what is needed to bring the Epstein files to light and that may be what we will have next week. The WH seems to be having a conniption fit. 1/2
