It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.

Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.

We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

🤦‍♀️This is exactly what we had been saying...

There's no excuses anymore. The government shutdown was 100% Speaker Johnson's fault who refused to negotiate. Now even Trump thinks the ACA needs to be extended.

🧵 1/4 I strongly disagree with this article. The arts teach critical thinking more so than the sciences. The sciences are too black and white. Too often engineers try to close a bug report and move on without addressing the real design problem.

The idea of a tariff check is insulting to small businesses.

My husband's business gets a tariff bill every week, and then the government wants to take that money and pass it to my coworker who makes 6 figures? AND THEN, there isn't even money to cut said check!

This feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Ring camera is feeding data to “Flock”… an AI surveillance program that works with ICE.

Between that and CBP monitoring your car and driving patterns, there is no such thing as privacy anymore:
Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with 'suspicious' travel patterns
The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious.

💗Wow Ridgecrest! Thank you for coming together as a community today to help provide food for Salvation Army.

1/3 🧵 Trump initially agreed to a practical disbursement of SNAP aid during the shutdown after a court order, but is now fighting it. 😠

It is wrong to let children go hungry, but Trump would rather give a tax cut to billionaires and $20B to Argentina.

ICE is now raiding night clubs while continuing to terrorize our communities. This is just the latest case of ICE’s unchecked power. This brutality continues to worsen. ICE is trying to divide communities, they know they can’t pull this off if communities come together to stop them. They fear us.

Who are the domestic terrorists again?
Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

A Deacon who had been to the Cal City center told me families can't visit and people aren't getting legal representation. All over the country people are dieing in ICE custody from lack of healthcare and some have been pushed to suicide. The cruelty has to stop.

16 people have died under ICE custody since Trump took office. People are being denied urgent medical care and are being forced to stay in poor living conditions. This is the highest amount of deaths on record in 20 years.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.
