Timothy Snyder explains how due process for all is a universal human right.

Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · Mar 24

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

America's National Guard protects communities. ICE preys on them.

They are NOT the same. Please spread the word.

Unite For Veterans Coalition @unite4vets.bsky.social · 14d

Do you know the difference between the National Guard and ICE? The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

Zelensky: “War has already reached too many people to pretend it has nothing to do with you. So it depends on you. Whether you help peace or continue trading with Russia and helping Russia to fund this war, it depends on you.”

“Your enemy isn’t across; your enemy is up.”

We’ve been divided for too long. The rich and elite continue to drive wedges between us so they can gain even more power and wealth.

We cannot do this anymore. We the people must unite, in peace and solidarity with one another, for the sake of America.

This man should be the one speaking on college campuses…

“They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.”

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.

Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?

My own colleagues are silent.

WE ARE NOT THE SAME!
Stephen Miller said that Kirk's last message to him was a call to dismantle radical left organizations fomenting violence across the US and he will make this happen in Kirk's name. Right extremists were responsible for 75% of all extremist murders in the US from 2013 till now. 🤨

NEW: Missouri voters have sued to stop Gov. Kehoe’s Trump-ordered gerrymander.

The lawsuit says Republicans rushed through an ‘unconstitutional’ mid-decade map to dismantle Kansas City’s 5th district and silence Black voters.

Make Domestic Violence Great Again? Trump dismissing the problem of domestic abuse. Deplorable.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Sep 8

Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"
