2025 is about earnestly standing up for what you believe, and it’s especially powerful when what you believe in is helping the people who need it the most. What a super idea. youtu.be/3A30rZ7cyYU?...

Trump is a crime boss who tries to cow everyone and make them complicit, so he owns them. Our education system cannot give in!
The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

The local PD believes ICE called in a fake 911 call about protestors trying to break into ICE facility. Cops only found a CBS news crew shooting B-roll.

Now why would ICE do that?
Here’s the CBS News report about ICE making bogus 911 calls and filing false police reports in Chicago.

When Trump is about to do something awful, he signals ahead so that people can get acclimated to the idea. It reduces the likelihood of a blow up from people due to the shock.

Brace yourselves America. You put him in power. Get ready for the road to fascism to accelerate at a fast pace.

UNLAWFUL ARREST

This woman was arrested for holding a sign with “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” on it, a totally lawful statement to make, even under the Labour government’s absurd new laws proscribing the direct action group.
