Adelita Grijalva needs to be sworn in
NOW. It's an essential part of the democratic process. #swearherin

Arizona groups - we need to be as vocal as we can about this! Many Arizonans don’t have representation right now, and we need that to change.

You can contact UA through the Chief of Staff to the president, at [email protected]

Let them know that they need to REJECT this compact, as it would violate the first amendment, waging war on free speech.

The Trump administration is offering nine U.S. universities funding in exchange for taking away free speech of students on campus. MIT rejected this compact, as it should. The University of Arizona is on the list, and must reject it to protect first amendment rights. 🧵

Not interested in a sidewalk protest for #nokings? The energy from supporters in their vehicles plays a big role in keeping energy up for those on the sidewalk. We will have a Car Beautification Station at the Chandler location! Stop by, bling out your car, and pump up the crowd as you drive by!

Join us as we decorate our cars and then drive the protest route to pump up the crowd! We will have some supplies on hand, but encourage folks to bring supplies to share. Organized by East Valley Uni...

Can we all just agree that ai is bad in almost every way? It steals people’s original work, makes bad decisions, uses a TON of water and energy, and benefits the rich.

Gross.

Eventually, we’ll have our own version of the Nuremberg trials. We will hold these people accountable. They think they have power now, but the people have the real power.

It's laughable to me that the armed kidnappers are upset they aren't welcome. Keep it up Chicago! The more annoying and difficult their job is the better.

Small business owners like Angie and Vanessa should be able to get health care without going bankrupt. But if Congress lets vital tax credits expire, their premiums will go up by thousands.

I joined patients and providers at MC Medical Society today — together, we’re fighting to protect the ACA.

Good time to review & know your rights, train in de-escalation skills, use a neutral voice. Peaceful demonstrations work.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 5d

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

I think a general strike is what we’re working towards; we just need a bit more momentum so it actually has a big impact.
