Trying to learn to be effective changing hearts and minds instead of screaming anonymously on Social Media. Boring, right?!??!

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Dems need to prepare solid messaging targeted at the folks who are about to loose their healthcare. Have the brand name of the state programs that will be cut. THEY WILL TRY TO BLAME DEMOCRATS. And it could work FOR Republicans. They are better at this than Democrats!

This story is horrific and terrifying. Then, near the end, this: "The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

theguardian.comI’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnappedI was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

These guys are exactly as corrupt as you think they are. Endless interlocking rings of graft, tax evasion, shady foreign deals, and stateside enablers - all so they can make more money than they already have. Meanwhile, social security checks might not go out and cancer research for kids is gutted.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Rare disease patient here, and I would beg to differ a bit on that. Being diagnosed isn't the scary bit. Knowing that you live in a country where medicine is for profit is the scary part. My meds cost over $100,000 a month. You read that right. That's the fear for most I think.

English Professor Suddenly Realizes Students Will Believe Literally Anything She Says theonion.com/english...

theonion.comEnglish Professor Suddenly Realizes Students Will Believe Literally Anything She SaysLINCOLN, NE—Midway through her 9 a.m. Intro to American Literature course Thursday, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Professor Elizabeth Mabrey suddenly realized that her students would accept, without question, literally any words that came out of her mouth as absolute, incontrovertible fact, sources confirmed. “I could say that On the Road was an overt metaphor for the Vietnam War and they would jot it down in their notebooks without any hesitation whatsoever,” said Mabrey, adding that, come midterms, her students will, as if on cue, mindlessly regurgitate whatever she tells them, whether it’s that the character of Dean Moriarty is supposed to be a figment of Sal Paradise’s imagination, or that the entire novel is meant to be read backwards. “I could, honest to God, ask them to tear their copies of the novel in half because that’s what Kerouac ‘intended the reader to do,’ and they would do it. I mean, what are they going to do? Disagree with me?” Professor Mabrey told reporters she has no plans to abuse her newly discovered power, though she would admittedly reconsider this position if denied tenure.

Every single headline about USAID and the Department of Education should include that Trump doesn’t have the authority to abolish them. Reporting on this like it’s dramatic but perfectly legal is insane.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

I’m thinking if I were an elected representative of my state, I would force my way into the building? Why do we have elected representatives if they aren’t ready to physically intervene?
