You’ve probably heard the famous post- WWII poem, “First They Came.”

But have you seen this positive new adaptation by @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social ?

Lisa Von Ahn writes how she found hope & inspiration for this moment in the poem. We hope you do too.

This is what a broken social contract looks like.

The constitution is that contract. The promise of rights and freedoms guaranteed to all. The promise between state and the people within.

When that contract is repeatedly and violently broken by the people in charge, what do we call it?
One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.

Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.

There is no justification for this. None.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Using the military to fight crime in the streets is like using tariffs to reduce grocery prices - treating symptoms with poison while ignoring the disease. #freedc

There was significantly less political violence in America prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign.

We all know why.

That doesn’t change that what happened today—in both Utah and Colorado—were tragedies.

It simply underscores that revisionist history isn’t going to solve America's problems.

Indivisible needs to organize a massive march on DC. It would get way more attention from the national press, which seems barely to notice the local protests (even when the total number of participants is very large).

For the second year in a row, the gender pay gap is widening — just another sign our country is moving in the wrong direction. We should be moving forward, not backward.

Suicide Prevention Month is a reminder that mental healthcare is a necessity, not a luxury. Preventing suicide means building stronger systems of support, expanding access to care, and reminding people they are never alone. 

If you or a loved one needs help, call or text 988.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

The normalization of political violence is a threat to everyone's safety. We should all be horrified by this — and make unequivocally clear this violence has no place in our politics or our society.

Isn’t it stating the obvious to say that a $4 billion industry for fortifying schools against mass shooters is absurd? www.npr.org/2025/09/08/n...
The school shooting industry is worth billions — and it keeps growing
The effort to keep schools safe from mass shooters has ballooned into a multibillion-dollar industry. Companies are selling school districts assurance with high-tech products.

Trump is ramping up his attacks on our rights and democracy, but we’re not backing down. On October 18, we’re taking to the streets in more places and in larger numbers to remind Trump, his cronies and those on the sidelines looking for hope that America has no kings: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Listening to the stories of the brave women who suffered Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse was devastating. Their courage demands action and full transparency.

The time for justice is NOW.
