I just deactivated my X account. I followed smart people: journalists, academics, thought leaders, and Dems. I also followed funny, inspirational, and creative people. I hope to find them here.

Fascism and oligarchy.
This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

The power of the people is greater than the people in power.
there may well be more citizens showing up here in Charlotte to learn how to peacefully resist Trump’s indiscriminate mass deportation effort than federal agents on the ground here, as we saw firsthand last night.

This is heartbreaking. It’s devastating to watch our country deteriorating before our very eyes. The fraud, the corruption, the lies are beyond comprehension. This man speaks for so many.

Tax the rich. Shameful.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.
Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

It’s July Fourth, but I don’t feel proud.
The flags wave, the fireworks crack, but beneath the noise, something’s breaking.
What does patriotism mean when truth is twisted, cruelty reigns and the promise of freedom shrinks by the day?
I love this country enough to mourn it.
