Do. Your. Own. Thinking. Just #SayNoToAI

Please @rekastner.bsky.social , a simple repost can make a real difference for Om Amir and her family in Gaza. 🤍🙏

I just filed a protest against Trump's plan to auction 35,000 acres of California's public lands to oil companies on December 1, including land next to homes, schools, and Carrizo Plain. The protest period closes November 2. Add yours. actionnetwork.org/letters/file...

Evidence that AI only does what it's programmed to do and is unable to answer a basic question that goes against the consumer-manipulative intent of its designers---in this case, Adobe, who have recently injected an up-front AI screen into their Reader:

Remember when "Hope and Change" became broken campaign promises (no public option, no Roe), drone murders of >100 innocents, brutal crackdown on Occupy Wall Street, indefinite detention w/out charge or trial, rigged primaries that installed Trump, then Biden's genocide? #BothPartiesSuck #VoteGreen

LAPD is illegally sharing license plate data with ICE and Border Patrol. Under California law, police agencies are barred from sharing license plate reader data with out-of-state public agencies or federal entities.

It's an insult to the memory of #WalterKoenig to do the "Blame Russia," neo-Cold War rhetoric that is now viewed as compulsory among "liberals". How far we have backslid since the forward-looking 1960s just because the "Democrats" threw 2 elections to Trump by opposing the will of their own voters.

Another confirmed death due to the negligence of ice, this time here in San Diego. It has been confirmed that a person passed away on 10/24/26 at Otay Mesa concentration camp. We have received a report that the victim was experiencing convulsions and was being neglected medically. Chelsea Gods

What more proof do we need that "Democratic" Party doesn't care about fighting the GOP's racism than @democrats.org's wholesale abandonment of LA's Senate Candidate Jamie Davis after SCOTUS reinstated Jim Crow, GOP eliminated black Congressman's district & scrapped an election already in progress?

"As France Explodes, Emmanuel Macron Flexes His Nuclear Muscles" w/ John Helmer reason2resist.substack.com/p/as-france-... The West could pursue peace if it wanted to. Instead, it foments conflict.

I want this & I also want Joe Biden and Kamala Harris arrested as war criminals for their genocide that "Dem" leaders still support. Until we figure out #BothPartiesSuck and do something different, we'll keep getting governments that commit atrocities worse than ballrooms, like mass child murder.

Violent Crackdown in Northwest Pakistan Aims to Neutralize Party of Imran Khan open.substack.com/pub/dropsite... Fascism can only take root because citizens like the arresting thugs pictured here carry out the violent, illegal orders of their fascist leaders. The same applies to US.

The documented history shows that Western gov'ts don't want peace even when offered; they reject equitable peace deals to use Ukraine as a pawn in their proxy war: yvesengler.com/2026/10/26/p... P.S. I'm 1/4 Ukrainian and I support Ukraine's sovereign right to makes its own political decisions.

Agreed. Also never forget: Obama broke his campaign promises for universal health care, codifying Roe. His supporters try to blame it on others (like Lieberman) but the record is clear: he readily caved. Dems sold out & continue to sell out. We are in this mess because #BothPartiesSuck, not just one

Yet another entrenched authoritarian defeated yesterday in Serbia. As the United States approaches a critical midterm election, Serbia shows that we can win despite uphill authoritarian conditions. It can be done. It takes all of us, especially young people. Timothy Snyder

The US-supported #GazaGenocide has not stopped. Children are still being murdered with the West's full complicity. This is why I push back on the "BlameRussia" meme; Putin no angel, but he's not persisting in active genocide & mass child murder for years like we are open.substack.com/pub/dropsite...

We live in a country where those who call themselves "Democrats" launch the career of a fascist felon, adopt the policies of the felon when in office (e.g. wolf extermination, tar sands pipelines, border wall), fund genocide, and repeatedly throw elections to the convicted felon. #BothPartiesSuck

"Bodycam: Cop Was Not in Danger When He Fired Shots That Killed 1-Year-Old Kohen Wiley" theintercept.com/2026/10/23/k... The "Democratic" Party mass-murders brown babies mostly overseas, the GOP mass-murders brown babies here at home and overseas. #BothPartiesSuck #VoteGreen

Why is Canada supporting murderous dictators? yvesengler.com/2026/10/25/a... Oh right, the same reason the US supports murderous dictators & genocide and invades other countries, then gets into righteous anger mode when other countries seek to secure their own borders.

The #GazaGenocide never stopped, and it still has bipartisan support in the US and "liberal" support in Canada. The West continues to commit mass murder. "Hostages" was just a pretext, because hostages were returned. This needs to stop. Sign if you live in Canada: actionnetwork.org/letters/cana...

And actually, @democrats.org , it's not "going high" to let fascists do whatever they want and get away with it, nor is it "going high" to zealously fund a genocide the way you have.

Europe’s Worsening Crackdown On The Right To Dissent reason2resist.substack.com/p/europes-wo... EU, US, Canada all descending into fascism. Among signs: ever-increasing censorship scapegoating its critics. This fascist game doesn't allow criticism of NATO, key vehicle for expansionist militarism.

This is a NATO propaganda site: euvsdisinfo.eu/report/stolt... It commits the tendentiously selective reading of history of which it accuses NATO critics and ignores the Obama/Nuland meddling in Ukraine's governance in 2014: www.cato.org/commentary/a... . Its talk about 'sovereignty' is most ironic.

More proof DNC @democrats.org is in league w/ GOP: Jamie Davis, fighting for LA after GOP coup, is being abandoned by DNC. He says: "Dems botching election: A seismic corruption scandal in Louisiana just collapsed Trump's handpicked Senate nominee [but] somehow Dems are about to blow the election."

If Obama and Nuland hadn't interfered in Ukrainian governance (2014) and pushed for a NATO proxy war, this war wouldn't be happening--as admitted by NATO chief himself: caityjohnstone.medium.com/nato-chief-o...

Apparently CPPIB doesn't agree with the International Court of Justice, United Nations, or Canadian government. Tell CPPIB that enough is enough: tr.ee/cppib Three meetings still to come: St. John's: October 21 Charlottetown: October 26 Fredericton: October 27

The "liberal" contingent in both US and Canada needs to stop its ongoing warmongering and violence against people who have not attacked us. This is why we have perpetual war: the major parties, 'conservative' or 'liberal', want it and wage it. yvesengler.com/2026/10/23/l... #BothPartiesSuck

@sulliview.bsky.social Imagine if the Boston Globe and Wash Post had covered priests who sexually abused kids and Nixon like Trump is covered. The priests didn't lie, they made baseless claims. There were 2 equal sides re. whether a president can bribe/burglarize. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

ICE assaulted a US citizen, dragging him from his vehicle in front of his family and one-year-old daughter who were also inside the car in Donna Texas on Thursday morning.

#ReplaceCalgaryOpera

Calgary Opera replaces performer who unfurled Palestinian flag during Tosca bow. Actor playing escaped political prisoner says he has 'no regrets'. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

So the Calgary opera supports genocide? Gotcha.

Shame on Calgary Opera for its cowardly decision to punish free speech and grovel to genocidists. P.S. I'm Jewish #ReinstateSanchezOrtega
