If troops show up in our cities, we stop. No work. No deliveries. No shopping. No compliance. A general strike isn’t radical—it’s survival. This isn’t what freedom looks like. You want martial law? Then you’ll get a country on pause. We refuse to be ruled by force. #GeneralStrike

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

Immigrants fleeing violence, poverty, drugs and corrupt leaders come to America and find violence, poverty, drugs and corrupt leaders. There is no safe place any longer. America has betrayed her 250 year history of a welcoming melting pot and opportunity. We should be ashamed.

Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

This is absolutely 100% true. It has always and ever been the case that if you want friends you behave as a friend.
The entire MAGA movement is rooted in the most toxic of masculinities; perpetuating knuckle-dragging, emotionally-fetal, alpha male posturing; a culture of relentless aggression that rewards the crass, coronates cruelty, and celebrates sexism.

Last week, Marco Rubio insisted no one has died because of his USAID cutoffs.
But these two kids, ages 5 and 8, were being kept alive thanks to US-funded antiretrovirals. Then they lost access to the drugs. And now, they're both dead.

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect.
This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus.
