We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.
The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
Reports coming in that people managed to break out and escape horrific ICE prison in #NewJersey.
"About 50 inmates at Delaney Hall, the ICE detention facility in Newark, banded together and pushed down the wall of a dormitory room..." www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...
Iran is going to officially declare war against Israel, when they retaliate, US media and politicians will PRETEND the Iranian counterattacks were totally unprovoked and that they threw the first punch. They'll try to manufacture consent for the US to go to war with Iran.
Don’t fall for it… the elite class already strategized for how to ensure power continues to be concentrated in the hands of our imbecile president and his cabinet of stooges.
I’m calling it: Trump’s going to use Elon as the scapegoat for everything dragging down his poll numbers.
The right will buy it—hook, line, and sinker—and forgive him, even as they suffer from his policies.
This is the first media coverage that I have seen of the UNC board's quiet decision to largely pause granting tenure outside of the health sciences. This is worth watching over the coming weeks.

How do you even respond to this
I am currently sourcing information about any Freedom Schools, CommUniversities and autonomous learning spaces that may be available over the Summer and into the Fall. If you have some leads, would you kindly share them directly with me by commenting on this post? Thanks so so much!
Black people have had to, by necessity, understand & defend the Constitution. It was the 13th, 14th and 15th ammendment that gave Black Americans rights during Reconstruction. This speech is not coming out of thin air, it has a history everyone should study and understand. It’s weighty and complex.
Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it
School vouchers aren’t about “freedom.” They’re a workaround to dodge diversity!
They allow this this to happen…
• Reject LGBTQ+ students
• Exclude kids with disabilities
• Teach whitewashed curriculum
And draining public schools to do it.

Shun these people. Refuse them service if you recognize them. Isolate them. Think of how disgusting a human being you have to be to accept this kind of offer when you know they kidnapping and human trafficking actual refugees in this country.
The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.
"It’s not until paragraph fifteen that readers are told the research isn’t peer reviewed. And not until paragraph twenty-eight do we learn that the “serious adverse events” it counted weren’t actually serious—or even necessarily related to mifepristone."
Not only is this regime coming for medication abortion (far safer than pregnancy and birth), they’re not even pretending there’s any legitimate science behind it.
It’s just to own the women.

Deporting migrants to Libya, where torture, slavery, and arbitrary detention prevail, is a flagrant violation of international law. The administration’s plan mirrors a deliberate abandonment of human rights, outsourcing cruelty to a system that dehumanizes with impunity.
The Trump Tariff Tax Hike kicks in today:
- higher prices
- costs the average family $5200 more
- higher unemployment
- reduced U.S. GDP of up to 8%
- likely recession
He’ll probably go golfing at his country club again to celebrate.
can someone tell this man
NO ONE IS GIVING TODDLERS COPIES OF THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, YOU WEIRDO.
the numbers of people actually reading marxist theory or studying communist history are small, to say the least.
Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding ... we're gonna make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."
i was trying to find the website for the National Center for Higher Education and I literally found the building on sale at a commercial real estate sales site. no website. omg.

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200.
The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money.
Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.
Among his first words after walking out of the detention facility: “I am saying it clear and loud, to President Trump and his cabinet: I am not afraid of you,”
This is huge. They tried to disappear him, and then he came back. Undermines the fuck out of Trump's intimidation campaign

Re: news about the Democratic party and Gaza….
Knowing that the Biden administration lied to the public about pressuring Israel for a ceasefire is a sucker punch in a history of so many lies and so much deception. Change of leadership in the party NOW!
"Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Attorney General, shall determine how military & national security assets, training, non-lethal capabilities, & personnel can most effectively be utilized to prevent crime."
Using the military against us.
This May Day, we march as workers united against threats to free speech, due process, our scant social safety nets, to immigrant and BIPOC communities & for an end to the genocide in Gaza. All of these issues are kitchen table issues worth fighting 4 collectively.

We on the left are asking white liberals to give up & denounce their deep seated tendencies towards authoritarianism & white supremacy.
We should actually celebrate the acts of resistance that show everyday people doing that. That can be a way that we win people over to multiracial democracy.
Because we live in a society, and i think most of us, generally speaking, like living in a society, we should ensure that our tax dollars fund life-saving research.
This is a great website that allows you to view the ROI on your tax dollars invested in NIH funded research. You can type in a disease condition and immediately see the impact of research funding on it. Also links to easy ways to contact law makers to protect science.

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

Go see #Sinners. The movie got to the heart and soul of what culture means for people of the global majority. It brings us closer to spirit, to our ancestors, and to the entire universe. It holds mystery and magic, and no one can take it away from us. We cherish and hold its power.
