I'm Puerto Rican, but I cry for my Latino community every day. There's a handout that has basic asylum rights in English and Spanish. I'm looking to get copies

I wish Republicans were as outraged that Trump is ignoring court orders, using ICE as his Gestapo, and using the military against US citizens, as they were that time Barack Obama wore a tan suit.

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

Watching our buildings get raided and children torn from their beds. Trying desperately to keep afloat and uplift friends and neighbors. Heavy shit 😔

I can't believe I have to keep saying this...THE MILITARY IS NOT A BUNCH OF THUGS THAT KILL PEOPLE. (That's the police). The military builds, teaches, trains, mediates. They interact with people from all over the world with different cultures, morals, interests. They don't need to be skinny.

Here’s your “war ravaged” Portland, OR…as brought to you by Sleater-Kinney’s Corin Tucker. As you can plainly see, everything’s wildly out of control there.
Umm hmm 🤨

Please stop using the Emperor's New Clothes metaphor for Donald Trump. It conjures images that are truly terrifying.

In Cuba, abortion + contraceptives are free + legal, + millions of Cubans have participated in the rewriting of the Family Code legislation

In the US, a 9-person unelected, term limitless body can criminalize abortions with a single vote

Who's the undemocratic dictatorship?

Juan works in Fresno CA picking grapes to be made into raisins. He shares he earns 35 cents for each sheet & can make 400 - 450 sheets in a 12 hour day in temps of 100+ if the grapes are good quality. He has a young daughter to support and he takes any work he can. #WeFeedYou

#HealingHearts

Survivors of abuse often blame themselves. For everything. I remember times thinking something was my fault when I was nowhere near whatever happened.

It's hard to learn to love yourself. It's also brave, and so worth it. You're worth it. 💛💚💜

Democrats don’t have a strategy because their billionaire owners don’t let them.

It’s the same reason they continue to move to the right at the expense of the working class.

The Democratic Party is dead.

Stop letting them fool you.

Someone just posted a link to a list "The Top 1000 Engaging Users of BlueSky." I don't know how reliable it is, but the result for me was highly unexpected.

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

At this point, the absolute worst thing you can possibly think of, is not even close to the truth….😔
