I support Ukraine and ending the war started by Putin.

I support Palestine and ending the genocide being waged by Netanyahu.

I support gun control in my own country so we can stop all this fucking senseless violence here!

FUCK DONALD TRUMP!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THESE MATTERS!

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

AI is a runaway train and I’d like to get off at the nearest station.

I’ll jump off and roll down a hill like they do in the movies if I have to.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.

The legacy of the Roberts court.

Mark Zuckerberg is among the last people on Earth I want peddling “synthetic intimacy” to anyone, let alone children.

🚨 This scene comes to us from Iowa. The man recording this atrocious attack on an innocent man makes it clear that he is a combat veteran, and explains that he is going to video their crimes and he is not to be touched: “I will knock you the fuck out.” 1/2

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

TRUMP: That's why I sued the New York Times two days ago for a lot of money

KARL: A judge just threw that out

TRUMP: I'm winning. I'm winning the cases.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

@rosie.com delivered a scathing indictment of the occupant’s character & legal record.

It’s unfathomable that he’s in the WH, sh*tti g on the Constitution with the support of the impotent GOP.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.
