BREAKING: 30 young people were just arrested after blocking an ICE detention facility near Alligator Alcatraz.

ICE is kidnapping our neighbors on behalf of fascist billionaires. It's time for every single American to stand up to their intimidation tactics. Let's shut it down.

Oh swell, let’s condemn socialism. How about condemning fascism and oligarchy. There was a time that I had hope for the future. It is rapidly being frittered away by the “system”.
In a country where the cost of living rises but wages don't, where illness can leave you in financial ruin, and where the young feel they have no chance at any upward mobility, 86 House Democrats joined Republicans to pass a resolution denouncing “the horrors of socialism.” trib.al/AIdcinL

They is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
They hath loosed the fateful lightning of their terrible swift swords;
Their truth is marching on.

An Axolotl inflatable in Oakland carried a sign that said, "I can regrow a limb, but not a democracy". They were beside a unicorn inflatable whose sign said "Affordable Healthcare is not a Myth!"
Loved the antifa axolotls 😊

I'm somewhat weirded out by the fact that "no kings in america protest signs" is a thing on Amazon. Some of them are actually pretty cool... but buying No Kings signs from a billionaire's platform just seems odd. I admit I download @im4humanintegrity and David Solnit's signs. bit.ly/artnotoligarchy

Trump is trying to force California to invade Oregon with our National Guard. The answer is no. Texas may do whatever crazy shit you demand, but that’s not how California rolls. By the way, Mr. President, when are you releasing the Epstein Files?

“This is Phase One of the Republican campaign to force Americans to work into old age to access their earned Social Security benefits, and represents the largest cut to disability insurance in American history,” Wyden said in a statement to The Post

SSDI was a lifesaver for me. I hate to see this.

Older disabled Americans and widows and children left behind due to the loss of a spouse or parent would receive less benefits under Trump’s proposed plan. This is so they can give money/breaks to the rich. This is wrong. The most vulnerable among us must be protected.

“The anticipated regulation could reduce eligibility for new applicants to the SSDI program by as much as 20 percent overall, and up to 30 percent among older workers. The potential impact on the SSI program is unclear.“ just no.

The common good is a set of shared commitments.

To the rule of law. To democracy. To tolerance. To equal opportunity. To upholding the truth.

We cannot have a functioning society without these shared commitments.
