There is so much to keep track of right now. This page is meant to document critical, buried, and distracted from news updates, current events, moments in living history, and subversive anti-democratic actions.

3 part video. Look, I know our attention spans are fleeting. I know our monkey brains love short, simple answers to jump on when complex problems unfold before US. We're in danger. All 342 million of us. Even if you're apathetic, I would encourage you all to watch these videos, Share, Talk Offline🇺🇲🗽
Arrest ICE agents. Trap them inside state legal systems. #QualifiedImmunity has stipulations & limits. It's long past the time for our democratic institutions to start resisting in more meaningful ways.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

A collection of video's from streets & homes across our nation. Coming under siege, from a #Tyrannical & out of control federal government.

The debate around #Socialism in the United States, is & always has been intellectually dishonest. The billionaire class has invested countless money over generations to poison the concept of what socialism is so much, that we don't even recognize our system is rooted in socialism, but for the rich.

Honestly, I have no words for the level of shamelessness trump supporters are heading towards. A trump support asks the question,

"Why is child rape immoral?"

This is where we're at. No words.

#Florida schools are adopting an educational model created by the #HeritageFoundation. This is what indoctrination looks like. Keep an eye on changes to your local education system. Block these developments before their foundations are laid. They will try & roll this out everywhere.

An inner city highschool teacher organizes an optional non-graded mock election. The props on the ballot are binding, & have the potential to change key fundamental structures of the class. The core lesson is in critical thinking, civic responsibility, & what can happen when voter turnout is low.

#DepoProvera, a hormonal #contraceptive has been linked to a specific type of #BrainTumor. There is currently a lawsuit making it's way through the courts regarding this under reported link to deadly disease development.

Please America, see there is no consistency.
He attacks science and higher ed, driving top talent to flee, then complains we don't have talent and must bring in immigrants with h1b visas that he's charging $100,000 a pop for.

He's ok with immigration so long as he can exploit and profit from it.

They continue to steal from the tax payers, and enrich themselves. Republicans leadership is not American. They only have allegiance to themselves, and the corrupted. Republican senators have snuck paying themselves taxpayer dollars in the bill to re-open the goverment

The #SupremeCourt declining hearing arguments against #GayMarriage was disingenuous. Guys, if there's one thing I hope we've learned, it's who we're dealing with plays games of obscuration & subversion. They come for us all through the path of least resistance. Keep your eye on #TransRights

Right-Wing citizens are becoming increasingly radicalized & violent. Which makes sense, when you factor in the foul & violent, delusion based rhetoric of republican leadership. Thank goodness there's video evidence of these crimes committed by regular people, with no authority whatsoever.

The heritage foundation's white house fired those who understand the law, & the most basic aspects of their job. When you are ignorant, you don't follow rules, you make them up. Entrusting the job of governing to those who want destruction, causes the functions of our society to grind to a halt.

Bernie Sanders is one of the most constantly honest politicians of our life times. I have never seen him act outside of advocating for the people best interests.
I want to see this shutdown ended as soon as possible.

What we need is an agreement that will protect health care for the American people.

But if there's no legislation that will pass the House and be signed by President Trump, it will simply be meaningless gesture.

Let's talk about #BlackWomen. Let's recognize these #American's invaluable contributions they've given to our country. They continue to #Lead the front lines in the fight for a more just world. ❤️

Another win coming out of the #Oregon court case, to determine if the #NationalGuard can be (illegally) deployed #Portland. The court ruled that the feds *cannot* deploy national guard from any state to our Portland streets!!

I want to give all the love & thanks to our AG @agdanrayfield.bsky.social

Our democracy cannot survive our republican party. I feel bad for good faith conservatives whos ideology is supposed to be rooted in fiscal responsibility. Their party has been subverted by dictator wannabes who will spend us to the ground. If you vote republican. You vote for poverty & forever wars

Outrage 😡

Republicans don't want to work, but don't worry. Its for a great reason. To avoid accountability.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Please watch this.

Technology is only progressing faster and faster. Meanwhile at the most consequential crossroads of our time is unfolding before our eyes. We have no idea how bad things can get through modern technology. Black mirror bad. Documentation is in comments. Think of the #implications.

The storyline that says "why vote? It doesn't make a difference" is, and always has been propaganda
🔥 @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

Pt.1 - I found a video a very kind nurse made around things we can do, and the kinds of resources we should try to obtain, when you/your family could be faced with #FoodScarcity. Share this please. Here, in the wealthiest country on earth, we face hunger.
