I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

@governor.ca.gov please stop undermining ceqa. the bill you just signed, sb 131, undermines endangered species and human health. CEQA is a law that protects us all. it also ignore tribal rights and endangered species habitat.

terramyacin.bsky.social @terramyacin.bsky.social · Aug 14

#theonemillionrising is a great movement, wish they would add environmental concerns like air quality and endangered species by protecting national parks from oil drilling and keeping the CEQA in california and NEPA process nationally intact.

terramyacin.bsky.social @terramyacin.bsky.social · Aug 14

yes it is a great movement. wish they would add environmental concerns like oil drilling in national parks, and abolishing the roadless area rule in national forests. and undermining National environmental policy act, the equilvalent nationally of CEQA in california. all under attack

The Netanyahu government’s extermination of Gaza intensifies. Malnutrition is rampant, children are starving to death, people are shot while waiting for meager food rations — and US weapons allow it to happen.

Trump and Congress must act NOW. Stop the slaughter. Feed the people.

By a vote of 27-17, Senate Democrats voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral and illegal war against the Palestinian people.

The tide is turning.

Americans don't want to spend billions to starve children in Gaza.

Three years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

19 states adopted abortion bans.

Now, thanks to Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” 15 million people will lose their health insurance, including access to reproductive services.

Women will die seeking basic health care.
