This is a playbook that’s ONLY disrupted by governors holding feds accountable when they do illegal things. If states aren’t confident in their police - there are PLENTY of people who’ve been fired from federal for disloyalty. That’s EXACTLY who we want running state law enforcement right now.

Push back on state government officials doing nothing but issuing statements and filing lawsuits. The way to interrupt the violent actions against protesters -> to insurrection act -> to martial law -> to no midterms playbook is to hold INDIVIDUAL federal agents accountable for illegal behavior.

Trump and ICE aren’t the targets for protest. The rich oligarchs are. Democratic governors are. State lawyers and law enforcement are. Hurt the oligarchs and companies that support Trump financially and by withholding your labor. Demand that states hold the ICE Gestapo personally accountable.

Who’da thunk it? A dictator spouting off shitty strategy? NAW Tariffs like everything else with this asshole are just an opportunity for a cash grab. He threatens the tariff. The other country / company “negotiates” (bribes). Suddenly the tariff is gone and there still aren’t manufacturing jobs.

Make no mistake. Dictators struggle with speed and complexity. As the stupid shit they’re doing compounds and accelerates - they will make HUGE mistakes. We must be ready to predict their moves and mistakes then do something about it.

American citizens - especially white ones - intimidation to instill fear is the point. Fuck fear, resist giving id and proof of citizenship. DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO WASTE ICE TIME AND RESOURCES. We know that if you’re white you won’t be any fun. Show them you’re unafraid. Stand up for Good.

BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only: he refused to prove his citizenship. No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

Fuck yeah. “To my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight, our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve space."

White men with autocratic, misogynist fantasies are simply just immature. They share the same developmental mindset as children. All of this could be solved by expecting them to grow the fuck up and holding them accountable for childish behavior.

Why people in Minnesota aren’t exercising their right to open carry right now is a bit beyond me. Isn’t this what the second amendment is for?

‘Be Good’ Protesters took part in a vigil for Good at Fruitvale Plaza, near the site where Oscar Grant was shot in the back by a police officer almost exactly 17 years earlier, in January 2009. #BeGood RollingStone 📷 MediaNews Group via Getty Images

This is what leadership looks like. I’ll believe the brown welfare queen fraud rehash story when I see actual, credible evidence not just racist fantasy porn.

Governor Tim Walz@governorwalz.mn.gov

Last night we saw Minnesota meet this moment. We saw a beautiful vigil. We saw thousands of Minnesotans demonstrate peacefully. Let’s keep it that way - stay peaceful, stay safe.

Meanwhile in Venezuela - Maduro’s vice president has been sworn in, the military has sworn allegiance, and both citizens and journalists have been arrested. Soooooooo what purpose did our capture of Maduro serve? Oh - he’s a hostage. All the VP needs to do is come up with the bribe for Trump.

Shop small. Shop resale. Upcycle where you can.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

It’s hard to appreciate how good our lives actually are until we see the painful growth spurts. Progress is sometimes painful.

#MAGA is just not going to ❤️ their leader, Donald J. Trump, having been at the center of a CHILD sex ring -- it's not going to sit well. Repost the main post above if you agree!

What make no sense about republicans on this issue is that they’re saying insurance companies are the problem but their proposals just hand more power to… insurance companies. The other confounding thing is that they think the donor gravy train will keep chugging now that congress is irrelevant.

Ok - Chicago and LA - how do we teach charlotte and other blue cities what we’ve learned in dealing with ICE and the Gestapo tactics of Greg Bo-fucking-vino?

Meta is actively manipulating and scamming people for profit.

Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla.bsky.social

(Reuters) - Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show. $META @reuters.com www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Oh look - the guys who don’t want a general strike are about to inspire one in the people they depend on yet take for granted. How do they think people who wait tables, clean floors, and chauffeur cars afford childcare?

Zuck and Elon can talk to people on Zoom. Ground their planes.

Patriotic Millionaires@patrioticmillionaires.org

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights. And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports. People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.
