❤️🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇫🇮 🇨🇦 🇪🇺 🇲🇽 Progressive who votes blue for democracy(even if I don’t 100% agree). Being socially liberal and fiscally conservative is not a real thing. How you want your taxes used is a reflection of what you value.

The Insurrection Act and Martial Law are different. The main difference between them is whether we have constitutional rights or not. You have freedom of movement under the Insurrection Act. Under Martial Law, you have no rights. We need to understand these nuances. They will be used against us.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

In 2019 when I was interviewing for the job of anti-surveillance activist at EFF I was asked what is biggest civil liberties threat that no is talking about yet---and my answer at the time was Ring. Given the general climate and its capabilities, it's even worse now.

Get. Rid. Of. Your. Ring.

Hey friends! We're almost through another week.

Have you had enough water today? Fruits and veggies? Did you get a moment to relax and just... be?

Take a moment to take care of yourself before you hit the hay. We'll be doing the same.

In the middle of a government shutdown—while millions of Americans face down dramatic increases in their health care premiums—the Senate just voted to send another $900 BILLION to our already bloated pentagon budget. Disgusting.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump from deploying federalized National Guard troops into Chicago.

This ruling reinforces what we already knew: It is illegal for the president to use manufactured emergencies to send soldiers into our cities.

TIER ONE: Americans who Donald Trump pedophiled with: They get shielded from prosecution for the crimes they did commit.

TIER TWO: Americans who brought Donald to justice for the crimes he did commit, they get prosecuted as revenge even if they committed no crimes whatsoever.

In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home.

Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.
