50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 1d

Republicans are currently going around the media to claim the nationwide peaceful No Kings protest on 10/18 is a “Hate America” rally.

Actually, No Kings is a rally of love—love for the founding ideals of America, love for the democracy and freedoms we cherish, love for one another.

Let’s show it:

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

🗺️ If the Legislature’s maps don’t pass muster, plaintiffs may draw their own

The court’s signal underscores how high the stakes are: lawmakers can either take seriously their duty to produce fair maps, or risk losing control of the process altogether.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

She’s right. The overt displays of dominance and cruelty are overcompensating for a citizenry that is tired of corruption, tired of oligarchs, and fed up with not being represented. We will not stand for it. We’re slow to wake, but impossible to suppress.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Treating government funding like a political bargaining chip is reckless, and it shows where priorities really lie: protecting revenue streams, not people.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

We just received more Epstein files. More proof the corruption runs deep.

No matter your title, wealth, or political party, if you're complicit in abusing or silencing women and girls, we will hold you to account.

1M seconds = 11 days
1B = 32 years
100B = 3,170 years

If you have 3,170 years of wealth, you should still get only one lifetime of political influence.

Compete on ideas, not bank accounts. 😇
