Thank you @replamonica.bsky.social for defending the right to dissent in the US in a time when those who do are unconstitutionally criminalized.
The regime singling you out is indeed an attempt to go after all of our rights, hoping people won't have your back.

Today I filed notice of appeal in my case.
From the beginning, I’ve fought back against this administration’s cruelty and attempts to silence dissent—this appeal is the next step in the fight.

In Bend the Arc chapters across the country, over 100 members gathered for Hanukkah parties to discuss the question:
“Why do we as Jews need to show up in the fight against authoritarianism?”
We also lit menorahs, sang songs, and, of course, ate lots of latkes!

Trump and his administration flood our country with so much hateful rhetoric it's hard to register all of it. They want us to accept it.
But we will not grow numb to their brazen xenophobia.

President Trump unleashed a xenophobic tirade against Somali immigrants on Tuesday during a publicly broadcast cabinet meeting, calling them “garbage” he does not want in the U.S. as he sought to refocus public attention on his anti-immigration rhetoric.

The president’s obsession with the Somali community and me is really unhealthy and creepy. He is trying to deflect from his failures and sinking approval ratings. Sorry, Trump, we all see through your attempts to hide from your broken promises.

The Trump admin is STILL using accusations of antisemitism as smokescreens to move its dangerous agenda: attacking schools, curbing free speech, targeting immigrants, and more.
