Horrifying watching Casablanca now as it takes place before Americans saw NAZIS as the big bad. They were a threat "over there," but now when ICE asks for "papers" we might get shot if we try to run.

This is real.
This is FASCISM.
Chicago is under attack.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Queer art is especially needed. If for no other reason than to indelibly stamp our boot on the world and say "We were here"

Cooper S. Beckett @coopersbeckett.com · 4h

As I keep needing to be reminded, I thought I'd remind all my wonderful creator friends:

Art, creation — these are enemies of fascism. In times when we feel we shouldn't be mucking about with frivolous art because of what's happening in our streets, that's when we need to make it most.

Under Title 32 USC, The Adjutant General (TAG) in each state is the military commander for both the Army and Air National Guard for that state and usually coordinates directly with the governor for domestic operations including emergency response.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

The thing that pisses me off about the Democrats the most is that they not even earn their "Go Vote" mantra to change things. Senate map next year is totally doable to win a two-thirds majority, all they need is to campaign on how they need the number to impeach Trump and Vance and end the nightmare

Hey @meng.house.gov @schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social,

While the government's shut down, what are you doing about all the fascism? And how do you plan to fortify the country against Trump's authoritarianism if the government re-opens and Democrats get back into power?
