@klasfeldreports.com I read this πŸ‘†too fast and thought you said you were going TO LIVE WITH @glennkirschner.bsky.social. Maybe this is an idea! Perhaps journalists should consider cohabitating to combine resources???

🚨🚨🚨 This is not a drill‼️ 🚨🚨🚨
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Purchasing hand made goods on Etsy from Canada feels like an act of resistance. Maybe the handwritten message on the outside of the box is an act of resistance, too. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸβ™₯️ #etsy #canada #resist

This is Wendy, a regular protester at #MontclairSundays from the beginning (49 weeks ago!). She created the "Fascism" sign with faceless troops this summer. It feels even truer, scarier now. We couldn't meet at our usual corner today due to the storm. So we protested in place.
Thank you Wendy.

They will kill us to steal the upcoming election. Murdering liberal voters in the street is just the latest form of their large scale voter suppression.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

REACTION from all of us is how we oust these fascists. We are waiting with open arms for you to join the resistance.
In May, one of our #MontclairSundays protesters came with this sign and it’s stuck with me ever since.
If you’ve been under-reacting, it’s time to stop worrying about over-reacting, and begin reacting with clarity and purpose to the national crisis foisted on us by Trumpism.

FREE LIAM RAMOS.
Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: β€œHe is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

THISπŸ‘‡ needs more coverage.
The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office.

Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today.

How are you doing?

Greenland seems to be doing quite well without us. In fact, the US can learn a lot from the people there and their values.
Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

I think Gregory Bovino is desperate to be Colonol Miles Quaritch from Avatar. He certainly has the bad-guy-vibe down pat. And the destruction of communities thing.

And they wonder why birth rates are down. BEING PREGNANT IS DANGEROUS IN AMERICA. FULL STOP.

Our elected leaders can stop ICE by voting against the upcoming appropriations bill unless it removes ICE funding completely. Call your representatives every single day to let them know how important this is to you!!
We must continue the work to abolish ICE.

But right now, Congress can stop ICE’s violent reign of terror. Tell them to do it today: (202) 224-3121

NO MORE FUNDING FOR ICE. $0
The upcoming budget bill gives those in the Senate a chance to really fight back, if they truly want to stop this.

**cannot be done alone**
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I am I glad you are enjoying it! That was exactly the idea behind why I make them. A little piece of hope and remembrance that we are all in this together. Also, we have heard from other protesters in our group that they make great conversation starters!
