One resident of the apartment building ICE raided told Reuters that agents broke down her door, then "told them to go back to their country and made a sexualized remark about Venezuelan women, she said. One of the agents hit a man in front of her son."

At least 3 students are in critical condition after a shooting at Evergreen HS in Colorado.
This is the 47th shooting that took place at a school in the US so far this year: 24 on college campuses, 23 on K-12 school grounds. This happened less than an hour after Charlie Kirk shooting in Utah.

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote.
The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate.
His approval ratings are tanking.
He does not have a mandate.
Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.
He's not.

We don't emphasize enough the emotional burden bigots place on their targets, even if it "rolls off their backs"
people who have never experienced open racism — or open bigotry of any sort — do not appreciate the way it can be psychologically destabilizing. and on the main, it actually isn’t healthy to be so resilient and thick-skinned that you don’t react to slurs and dehumanization

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
