MAGA policies are deeply unpopular. People in huge numbers hate the Big Ugly Bill and are horrified by ICE.

Stay the course:

* Disrupt ICE

* Keep protesting

* Occupy public space

* Fight for fair 2026 elections

* Keep up the pressure on your legislators

* Help those in need

It's working.

[correction: exits FROM the regime]

Debby33 ❌ 👑 @debby33.bsky.social · 1h

And he's right: We need to show up at City Council meetings and call sheriff's offices. Feds CANNOT operate without local resources. They need police cooperation. They need detention facilities. They need hotels, restaurants, and bathrooms.

ICE them out 😏

I do not WANT to see this.

But I am not surprised to see this. It is a natural progression, particularly given that House Republicans are starting to look for exits for the Regime.

Perhaps you can?

Yup. Or as my Grandpa used to say, "Ahh ja" 👴

Marjorie Taylor Greene is just the whacky Canary in the Fascist CoalMine.

* Cost of living
* HealthCare premiums
* Hospital closures
* Farm and business bankruptcies
* ICE brutality
* National Guard deployments

They know it's all about to hit the fan.

People are flooded with propaganda. Not just Fox News. CBS, ABC, The Washington Post: it's in the way they frame stories, the stories they DON'T cover, the headlines they write.

Please show these pics to friends and family.

These are live shots.

There is no fire. There is no War Ravaging.

This is a marathon.

You cannot WIN a marathon on an empty stomach.

Find your community.

Find space to breathe and dance.

Find ways to nourish your soul.

We march at dawn.

(The Emergency Naked Bike Ride, however, will probably not start until late morning 🚴🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️)

This video is so powerful. This is what the resistance movement needs

Folks, anybody banned from TikTok for talking trash (and very humorously, too) about Trump and Epstein deserves a listen and a follow 😃

That's not a bad theory! But I do suspect it's more likely she's making a calculation about her future.

People write her off as crazy, but I think she's crazy like a fox.

Ron, as you can apparently see, I follow your work closely. I hope you are doing well!

I was forced to stop working as a union organizer due to Long COVID. Using my voice on my BlueSky feed is the only contribution I can make right now. Hearing from you has indeed given me a boost today 🫂

If shit gets real here in Portland (right now it's just 1 block in front of the ICE facility), we will not be able to rely on costumes alone.

ICE has disappeared people in the Portland area 😥 but there's not been a surge like in Chicago or L.A.

For now, RIDICULE is our primary tactic.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

This is how we roll in Portland ⤵️

Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller are discussing sending in the famed 82nd Airborne to deal with us out-of-control Antifas 🪂🪂 (that's not a joke they are discussing it)

Frankly, I don't think we can handle the 82nd Airborne but we'll do our best 🤷‍♀️

Fear is all they have. They don’t have respect, or popular ideas, or the support of a majority of Americans. Deny them the power of fear and we win.

There are already reports of airport slowdowns and closures.

Robert Reich predicted the GOP will cave and this shutdown will be over once the Air Traffic Controllers start calling in sick 🤮🤧🤒🥵

It's happened before.

Thanks for speeding up that process, Mike! 😃

After threatening that furloughed federal workers might not receive backpay after all, Mike Johnson tries to clarify that *of course* he thinks they *should* get backpay.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an order making city property off-limits to ICE. As federal troops deploy to Chicago, this is a bold stand for accountability and human rights. No city should ever be turned into a battleground for political power.
