This country would be a lot better off if we didn’t have chain stores and fast food and instead had mom and pop businesses that kept money in a community and gave every town and city its own unique flare. But every city looks like the next and all the money goes to Wall Street banks.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

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.

The Trump administration plans to mint a $1 coin featuring Trump’s image, yet another illegal move. This violates the 1866 law, which states that only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency.

This goes deep into the bartender soul: we're trained to pick up on the layers below the surface of who people pretend to be (often exposed while drunk).

AOC says: "Laugh at them! The risks are real but one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is to laugh at them."

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.

The People's Fabric @peoplesfabric.com · 3d

Pro-tip: if you have video of you or others directly intervening to obstruct ICE or de-arrest someone, for god’s sake don’t post it on social media. Or at a minimum blur faces first. You’re just begging for federal charges.

I originally started this account to post my art, so here's a work in progress. It's a map (not to scale) of the trip to Europe this summer. Hoping to finish it soon.

Miley Cyrus "End of the World" vibes this autumn. I've been having dreams of buildings crumbling all week. But I'm starting new things. Learning new skills, in my 40s. I have a new vision of who I am.

Otter Chaos @andrearepetto.latinsky.social · 4d

Please believe me, I'm on the same vibe. I'm in there, helping build a new world, and if you're seeing what I'm seeing, there is hope. And if we don't have hope, all is lost. There are more of us than the ones who would see it die

Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this.

Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 5d

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

A protester with a mobility aid (cane) was sitting in the road. Illinois state troopers dragged them to the grass and arrested them.

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

Screenshot of message from UPS:
