“The human being is not an enemy. The enemy is fear, segregation and ignorance.”

The words of Mohsen Mahdawi, arrested at his citizenship interview. The values he expresses are what the USA was supposed to be about, pre-Trump.

They want us to not have any humanity
This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process.

If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.
Trump's press secretary mocked the “Democrat and media outrage” over the deportation of a Maryland father as “nothing short of despicable.”

If Americans don't like the direction of the country, they should speak directly to power—either by taking a Supreme Court justice on an all-expenses-paid trip or by paying Donald Trump 5 million dollars to have dinner together.

That Jack Daniels parent company has pulled out of @hrc.org's annual Corporate Equality Index is a reason every #LGBTQ Bar, Pride, festival, event should boycott Jack Daniels/Brown Forman Corp products

Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120.

Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars.

Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families.

US Rep Al Green removed by Trump's Nazi while others sat and watched or jeer at him. He stood up to Trump and told him he had no mandate to disrupt Medicaid for millions of people. Make a list of which politicians you are going to keep. So far it's a short list. #3E #SOTU

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Donald Trump promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid.

This week, his friends in DC voted for a bill that would leave 3.4 million Illinoisans, including 1.4 million children, in the dust.

Another middle finger to working families and the most vulnerable in our state.

To my younger and older followers on here: take advantage of this!

You do not have to be in Brooklyn to do so and its worthwhile. Especially if you live in a state that censors queer and black books. ❤️👇🏾
The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card.
Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks 
The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available."

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.
