SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

“Musk's straight-arm gesture embraced by right-wing extremists.” I don’t get the ADL’s response here. He may not have meant it but it sure loked like a Nazi salute. Say it, educate people- don’t excuse it. apnews.com/article/musk...

apnews.comMusk's straight-arm gesture embraced by right-wing extremists regardless of what he meantMany social media users noticed that the gesture looked like a Nazi salute. Musk has only fanned the flames of suspicion by not explicitly denying those claims.

Kamala Harris has been all grace and dignity in defeat, which is quite a contrast to the orange man-baby who manipulated his supporters with lie after lie before inciting a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that injured more than 140 police officers. #TrumpCoupAttempt

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

nytimes.comNobel Laureates Urge Senate to Turn Down Kennedy’s NominationElevating Mr. Kennedy to secretary of H.H.S. “would put the public’s health in jeopardy,” more than 75 laureates wrote.

The question then becomes: will the gutless republicans in Congress do the same when our time comes?

George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social

I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet. Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

“Americans have not had to worry about military threats to democracy in the past,” Kori Schake writes. “But a determined president and his civilian officials could change this relationship, even radically, through entirely legal means”: theatln.tc/z6LtcfOD

🚨 Congress is considering a bill to abolish the Department of Education! This is a reckless attack on public education that would devastate our schools and hurt millions of students. Trump cannot abolish this department without an act of congress and this would need 60 votes to pass the senate.

This is what Pete Hegseth’s OWN MOTHER thinks about him. This misogynistic sexual assaulter should NOT be secretary of defense. In fact, he should be in NO position of authority.
