Politics for those who are interested.

By now we have realized that Congress isn’t going to save us, nor the courts, nor the Constitution. But there is one group with considerable power that can stand up to Trump: the states.

to be fair, the actions of the Trump regime are gruesome, disturbing, and extremely violent.

they are definitely violating my joy.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

100% this. i love you Portland.

Nick @ecosozialismus.bsky.social · 1d

My read is that fascists in the Trump Admin had Portland central to their martial law plan — 100% confident they could poke us & get visuals they wanted — and we, incredibly, have denied it to them in the funniest way possible.

It’s honestly an incredible achievement. So proud of Portlanders.

Okay, so I am 100% for animal costumes, dancing, music, or whatever other way people want to protest against ICE, Trump, fascism, or similar.

I think saying that it's "effective" because people dunking online makes me wonder what the fuck people think the end goal of it is.

remember that one time when President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize?

i remember that.

Obama didn’t not win the Nobel Peace Prize. Obama was not a loser.

Wouldn’t it be cool if this photo of Obama receiving his Noble Peace Prize went viral today? 🔄

Law enforcement needs to rein in ICE's anti-press abuses and investigate ICE attacks on independent journalists in Chicagoland.

A coalition of Chicago and national press freedom orgs explained why in a letter to the Broadview Police Department and Illinois State Police today.

Independent journalists must be protected from ICE attacks
