Nike Founder Phil Knight gave $3 million to Republicans in Oregon. Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda wore a trump-vance T-Shirt & MAGA hat at a NASCAR event in Japan. Both men are powerful & have everything they could ever need but still chose to support oppression. Shop accordingly. #BoycottMAGA

Everyone is looking for someone to blame for the DC National Guard shooting. Instead of that wasted energy, we should be asking the question nobody is asking, how did the shooter get his guns? What can we do as a country to make gun violence less likely?

Why POC collectively hold our breath when there’s a mass shooting or high profile crime before the suspect is even identified:
• Afghan man shoots a National Guard member:
With zero knowledge of the background or motive, the right screams that Muslims are terrorists and must be deported.

In this administration, blame travels faster than truth. Every scandal has its scapegoat, every headline its victim, and Kash may be first in the firing line.

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies:
If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.

So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?

So Trump granted asylum to the National Guard shooter. And the timing was perfect to distract people from his troubles. Too many coincidences. Reminds me of his fake assassination attempt.

1/2 🧵What Trump does NOT want you to know is that the claim Lakanwal (the alleged shooter of two National Guardsmen)…who entered the U.S. in 2021 and was “granted asylum” in April 2025 under the Trump administration appears to be true and is also being widely reported.

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

We found more than two dozen cases of immigration agents using "less lethal" weapons in ways that appear to flout the government's own rules, including by aiming at someone’s head, spine or groin or deploying chemical agents near children.
