I’m here in Caldwell, NJ where a veteran just hugged a dude with a bagpipe. I’m no fbi profiler, but I’m pretty sure these are NOT domestic terrorists. #NoKings

Unfortunately, we just heard that it appears the West Caldwell Town Council is re-introducing proposed Ordinance 1898, which imposes unconstitutional restrictions on the rights of assembly and free speech (i.e., demonstrations) TONIGHT WITHOUT ANY CHANGES TO THE ORIGINAL PROVISIONS.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

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.

After the town council tried to stifle protesters by requiring permits 30 days in advance, admin fees, & $2M in liability insurance, residents fought back.

Ordinance is now tabled.

It’s not that an individual is bad because they’re a billionaire.

In a capitalist system, becoming a billionaire happens through a transfer of wealth, generally from and through the exploitation of people who are poor and the working class.

The process to become and stay a billionaire is immoral.
There’s a lot of discourse about CEOs and billionaires right now. It’s hard to have this convo on TikTok but I think Bluesky can handle it with nuance.

Are all billionaires bad?
