The President’s authorities under Article II are limited to responding to an armed attack/the threat of one and do not apply here.

These continued strikes — 27 killed to date — risk getting the U.S. into a full fledged war.

We have now struck 5 boats in the Caribbean illegally for allegedly smuggling drugs.

At this point congress is condoning this behavior.

Impressive grassroots effort by some young policy and political entrepreneurs.

I’ve been working on this for a WHILE and would be so grateful if you could check it out and share—Dems need a vision, and they keep missing the mark. We built it for them, grassroots, and have a plan to make it happen.

What if we could channel all our frustrations over our country’s rapid slide into authoritarianism into advocacy for policies that work for all of us?

We can. Welcome to @americandemands.bsky.social #DemandBetter

All eyes on Gaza.

All boats in the Sumud Flotilla intercepted and peaceful activists arrested in international waters.

Gaza City given final removal order, any left will be considered a terrorist.

Who own the airwaves and whose ring do they kiss?

Trump and the FCC.
Nexstar (owns 30 ABC affiliates) and Sinclair (owns 40) won’t being back Kimmel.

70 markets now get different media.

This is concerned.

Nextstar and Sinclair refuse to
bring back Kimmel tonight.

So lot of markets will not see his show return.

Don’t fall for the headlines. We keep boycotting.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

The goal is to keep us silent.

Make talking about slavery taboo, so it can be repeated.

Make condemning hate speech an attack on their idol.

Make people afraid to speak, even rich powerful white men, and you control what gets covered.

Democracy dies in darkness.

The “war” has always been against Black and brown people, poor people, immigrants, and women.

But they have now created the conditions to execute this hate and future extremist hate campaigns using SCOTUS and the law.

Tiara Mack @mackdistrict6.bsky.social · Sep 11

The left will be Black and brown people, queer people, trans people, immigrants, women, and other
groups that are already under attack.

The stereotypes and assumptions these groups will face will increase violence again these communities.

We already see HBCU’s facing bomb threats and lockdowns.

The extremists on the far right have used Kirk’s death to call for a “war” against “woke, radical leftists”…but how do they target the “left”?

By using the stereotypes and assumptions media has let play out for years.

They are going to target minoritized groups.

SCOTUS has allowed ICE to use racist and classist assumptions about an individual to complete their mass detention and deportation campaign.

If you speak Spanish or speak English with an accent, work a low wage job, use the bus, or look “ethnic” they have the right to stop you.

Tiara Mack @mackdistrict6.bsky.social · Sep 11

HBCU’s are on lockdown following the Charlie Kirk gun death yesterday.

Earlier this week SCOTUS ruled that ICE could use racial profiling in their stops for people they believe are in this country illegally.

These two things are connected.

Here’s how 🧵

Oh also, I’m not seeing much on the Colorado school shooting today…

Condemn the gun violence every time, for every person.

It’s the guns. It’s the guns. It’s the fucking guns.

It should really worry all of us that unilaterally condemning gun violence is painted as a surprisingly bipartisan issue.

I want to fight for a world
where the expectation is we all vehemently condemn political violence and gun violence.

Every time. For everyone. Period.

Jokes aside, if Biden was AWOL for four days and had nothing on his sked for a holiday weekend:
-CNN would permanently show a running clock on the last time Biden was seen in public
-Alex Thompson would publish multiple stories a day on Axios
-Chris Cillizza would crank out 56 "But His Age" stories

Providence, we are now in a mass surveillance city. It’s not “futuristic”, this is a slippery slope. Given the rise of fascism…this is terrifying.
