REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

“Protest”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919)
To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men. The human race
Has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised
Against injustice, ignorance, and lust,
The inquisition yet would serve the law,
And guillotines decide our least disputes.🧵

Listen, he said himself his murder was a worthwhile tradeoff, so 🤷‍♀️ He also said empathy wasn't real & super lame, so 🤷‍♀️ For real, tho, should have had that done in the privacy of his own home so no one had to see it. That way it could just be forgotten, you know, the way Sen. Hortman was forgotten.

Memorial Day is coming to close. It’s always really gotten under my skin how many “patriots” use this day to amplify their ignorance, bigotry, and hypocrisy. This is a day to remember those who DIED fighting for the best of what this country represents. 1/

I didn’t think the MAGAts wanted there to be MORE gay men but 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Had to take a social media hiatus. If I burnout now, I won’t be able to antagonize fascists later. That would be disappointing.

Dipshit Donnie got caught on a hot mic say the “home-grown ones” are next for the concentration cam— uh, prisons.
I’m curious what exactly they think will happen when they get a few thousand angry crust punks, political dissidents, and PhDs together within a confined area. 🧐

I was told these people were “free speech absolutists”
Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

I’ve heard rumor the faculty union at University of Missouri in Columbia unanimously voted to demand the university stop complying with ICE.

🌹 57 years ago today, my mother was crying in the kitchen. Next to her was a newspaper.

🌹 Martin Luther King and been shot.

🌹 I was but a lad grabbing for a lunch bag before school, but I knew of King.

🌹 My mother's eyes told me I could never know enough about this great man.

🌹 Celebrate him.

Donold is now classifying protests at Tesla dealerships as ‘domestic terrorism.’

Protest at a Tesla dealership and you get arrested as a terrorist.

But attack the Capitol and you get a pardon.

Always wondered how the Star Wars Emperor could start with a battle-hardened army and end up with an "entire legion of his best troops" being beaten to death by teddybears with sticks.

Then Hegseth ended up as US Defence Sec. And now yeah that makes sense.

Did they hire a toddler to write this letter? Those are the most poorly constructed sentences I have read since my kid was in grade school.

The fascist base: “Ed Martin speaks reel good. He’s gone figur out what that lib threatening our lort for.”
This is not how federal criminal investigations work.

Joseph McCarthy was a fairly terrible person. But I have never in my life wanted to resurrect someone so bad and set them loose on their target - Russians and their assets.

The ONLY branch given the authority to define what the law is in the Constitution is the Judicial Branch. This branch includes the Supreme Court & all federal courts.
The executive order released today naming him as the only authority of law in the United States is a violation of the Constitution. 🧵

@richardengel.bsky.social posted this on Twitter in 2019 - it bears reposting now. At this point, politicians calling themselves a Republican are already on the treadmill.

I gave up on the NYTimes a month ago and canceled my subscription - guess they needed to Find Out, too - the back peddle is tasteless. Larger Media needs to own up with a “Sorry we f’d up cause we were scared” if it still wants to be relevant.
Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Hey Dearborn Michigan! Is this better than Kamala Harris? You “owning the Dems” now? How’s all this working out for the Palestinians you so passionately advocated for?

Updates: 1) Experian has steps listed to lock your SSN. Won’t stop Muskolini but might slow him down. Feel free to report him for identity thief to the DHS as well. 2)Protests at state capitols today - be careful, be loud 3)Keep calling reps- phone lines are overwhelmed.
