Liberty Strikes
@faithevich.bsky.social
Drummer. Mom. Resister. This is the time when we must choose what’s most important to us: mere survival or fighting for what we know is right. #RiseUp #Resist ✊🏽
Dear #Democrats, there is no reforming #ICE. I know you’re nervous because #DefundThePolice was a failure of a message, but you’re going to have to let that go. ICE is a collection of lawless, violent criminals terrorizing our streets. They don’t need training, they need prosecution. #AbolishIce
AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

#CitizensUnited equated money with free speech. As long as it’s the law of the land, those with the most money, have the most free speech, have the most freedom. This is decidedly #unamerican. #OverturnCitizensUnited
Well said. And if the federal laws won't do this, the states, which grant corporate status, can and should.

It’s unfortunate that this is the only way to deal with hacks and shills like #Hannity, but it is. More of this energy, #democrats, if you ever want to win elections again.
Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

Exploitation is the only language in which #Trump has any real fluency. #ReleaseTheFiles #EpsteinFiles #Idiocracy #OMFGhowisthisreal

It occurs to me, Nixon had COINTELPRO, we have NOINTELPRO. #AbolishICE

Today started hopeful and fun while we made promo materials for our Seattle UVillage event on 1/31. Then came the news. It’s been a long day with all the feelings, but one thing stayed constant. We’re still going to #RiseUp and #Resist. I prefer to do it with joy, sometimes it’s mournful rage.

Different people can assume different levels of risk. If you can, now is the time.

As we reach the anniversary of one of this country’s darkest days, it’s vital we all continue to frame it accurately. We are now the keepers of the truth, and must ensure this history is passed down. Jan 6 was a dark day in it, and our grandchildren’s grandchildren need to know that. Stay brave.
This Jan 6, read the story of Richmond, Virginia museum curator Bill Martin who committed himself to the truth about the old south. As Trump tries to rewrite history, we can learn from people like Martin. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
January 6 Again
Donald Trump is the President no one has ever said “no” to in a big way.

Seattle Strikers and Resisters: come hang with me today at noon at the ferry docks! Some music, some speaking and LOTS of joyful resisting!

It’s devastating to learn we’ve lost such a powerful and important voice for freedom and democracy. Stay calm when the unthinkable happens. That’s our task now. Protect and care for one another. Lead with love. RIP, Reiners. Your lives went way past 11.
ROB REINER: “This is just the beginning, and people have to understand our democracy is being taken away from us. We have a year before this country becomes a full on autocracy…

We need a party who will fight for the working people, not one who will just appeal to the nicer billionaires.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

It’s so courageous to do all this work to expose dangerous and violent men. We all need to continue to be brave, before history is erased.

The most disturbing thing about this story, for me, is that I almost scrolled past it with fleeting outrage. There’s so much pulling on our attention and heart strings. But then I accidentally put myself in this mother’s shoes and I’m once again horrified by the depths to which some folks sink.
3 Questions:

1) What are we doing?
2) How is this pro-life?
3) What are we doing?

It really does seem quite reasonable!

It’s an excellent start!
We need to include regulation of our data and surveillance, and making AI companies pay not only for their own facilities and the resources they use, but also for the damage they will inevitably to do working families.

Brilliant! Creative action that gums up the works will force attention to where we want it! Keep those cameras rolling! #PeoplePower
This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Seattle’s new mayor-elect, Katie Wilson! I’m really looking forward to seeing her progressive values in action! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

Seattle!!! Look at the Comeback Kid inching ahead in the mayoral race. Please check your ballots! It’s easy to do and could make all the difference!
This race could very easily be decided by challenged ballots. Use this link to track your ballot, and remind your friends and family to do the same: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Cheney was so dangerous. From Nixon to W he ushered in the permission to torture and spy on anyone regardless of citizenship. But this administration is so much worse I can’t even drum up any pleasure at his passing. Trump ruins everything.

No billionaires. If you can’t succeed in life with $999,999,999, you’re either bad at money, or you want enough power to exploit and manipulate.
Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave”

We need to start calling their bluff.

We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

Liberty Strikes!
It is time. It is past time. Let’s create food pantries and supply stores to help the needy and pound the streets every day.
“We are going to make them pay their fair share in taxes to fund our school, to fund jobs, to fund healthcare, to fund transportation.”
Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike
It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Democratic mayors: it’s time to follow Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson’s lead in calling for a #generalstrike. If our fellow citizens are forced to work without pay while #billionaires continue to profit, we can all join in #Solidarity. #RiseUp #Resist #WorkersRightsAreHumanRights! #GeneralStrikeNow

Really, doesn’t this just say it all? There are far more of us than there are of them. Let’s remember that when we’re feeling overwhelmed. Let’s continue to have one another’s backs!
