Zohran’s win is massive — and it’s just the beginning. It’s a moment of tremendous hope, and a moment that we can and must build on. We have the opportunity here to change course, but only if we seize it and turn our beautiful celebration into transformative change.

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

“It is manifestly illegal to invade and annex foreign territory by force, to forcibly deport its population, and to deprive the Palestinian people of their inalienable right to self-determination, including to retain Gaza within a sovereign Palestinian state”
Deportation of civilians from occupied territory is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions of 1949, to prevent the recurrence of acts such as Nazi Germany’s expulsion of populations from European countries. It is also a crime against humanity. UN experts now warns 👇

This is the ethos of project 2025, dismantling the federal government by any means necessary
by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

Colombia has accepted hundreds of deportation flights in the past years. It rejected two flights using military planes, but agreed to continue taking flights using normal ICE planes.

In response, the Trump administration has done the equivalent of punching them in the face.
NEWS

After President Petro of Colombia denied entry of two US repatriation flights of Colombian migrants, President Trump has announced these retaliatory measures.

Petro said he wouldn’t allow the flights in until Trump establishes a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants.

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

They're gonna drag people out of churches and "conservative Christians" will cheer. Just like they did when it was happening to slaves.
Minutes ago, the Trump admin revoked the sensitive locations policy that prevented ICE from carrying out enforcement arrests inside churches, hospitals, and schools.
