We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. - Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate and Holocaust Survivor

If you’re boycotting today, join our boycott of Target indefinitely.

Since Target announced they would be eliminating DEI, foot traffic at their stores have decreased 10%.

Join us in the fight.

Boycotts are effective.

Boycotts must have a demand.

We are boycotting Target because they bent to bigotry. Target’s foot traffic is down 10% since we called for a boycott.

We will continue to boycott until our demands are met.

We will keep organizing.

The person tasked with auditing the government was just awarded a $2 billion government contract.

It’s a conflict of interest.

Reminder: as we watch the world’s wealthiest man play President, he’s planning on spending millions in Democratic primaries in 2026 and beyond to elect conservatives.

The DNC must move to banning corporate and dark money in Democratic primaries.

ASAP.

Center and Center Left governments better learn a lesson from what’s happening to America.

People will vote for fascism when they feel the government won’t do anything about issues from immigration other than pretend they don’t exist.

Like many born into slavery, abolitionist Frederick Douglass never knew his birthday.

His mother called him “little valentine” and so he chose to celebrate on Valentine’s Day.

Happy birthday, Frederick Douglass 💜

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter

The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.
The problem is you assume they want to "engage and have reals discussions on real issues." They don't. When confronted with facts, data, science, actual laws, and the like, they resort to spewing lies, disinformation and hate.
Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ?

This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked.

Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues.

@bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

Tesla paid $0 in federal taxes last year.

If you’re reading this, you paid more taxes than Tesla.

It made $2.3 billion last year.

Does that seem fair to you?

The Democratic Party is viewed negatively by 57% of Americans.

That will not change until those in the party stop idolizing those in leadership who led the party to that number.

Show the NFL you’re paying attention. Don’t watch the Super Bowl—make the ratings tank. Instead, listen on the radio. Money talks, and so do numbers. Stand against those who bend the knee to fascism. Tune out, speak up, and hit them where it counts. #BoycottNFL #TurnItOff #ListenDontWatch

The original fascist movement in the U.S. was also named America First.

One of their main arguments: America is a republic, not a democracy.

This phrase, in addition to being wrong (democracy and republicanism are not mutually exclusive) is designed to normalize autocracy.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?

Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?

Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.

Very Trump like too.

Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?
