I love democracy. A proud "snowflake"= snowflakes are beautiful. When gathered together in glaciers and avalanches they change the world around them.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

"Kavanaugh penned a concurrence confirming that, yes, the conservative justices are motivated by gutter racism, and they absolutely do intend to shred five decades of jurisprudence. YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT THEY ORDERED THE CONSTITUTIONAL CODE RED, SON! And they’ll do it again." — @lizdye.bsky.social

“It is highly unusual for prosecutors to fail even once — let alone three times — to obtain an indictment from a grand jury given the way the process is stacked in favor of the government.”

Understatement. I’m going with unprecedented and unheard of.

Trump: "We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting." He's right – except for the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Canada, India, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Russia, and 22 other countries.

Trump had our military on their knees to roll out the red carpet for Putin. Our LOSER baby-man president talked tough about sanctions in the safety of his cocoon. Faced with Putin he became a groveling minion.

Literally everyone is responding to this with such naivete.

It's not the pee tape (and never was). It's not Epstein.

Putin has used Trump to destroy every aspect of the United States that he loathed: rule of law, free market, human rights.

Instead of seeking justice for the American people, Trump's DOJ has been solely focused on protecting the personal interests of Trump & his allies and shielding them from accountability and prosecution.

Call on your reps to stop this unjust politicization of the DOJ

This first-person history of the liberation of #Dachau comes from @markzaidesq.bsky.social, whose grandfather witnessed it as a Jewish chaplain.

Hate is alive now with renewed zeal. It's in Islamist antisemitism, and in rising violence against immigrants.

Don't collaborate with hate. Fight it.

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

🧵 Albuquerque, NM — A man was violently tased & tackled inside the Walmart at 2250 Coors Blvd by unidentified masked thugs in ICE & HSI vests. He screamed for help as he was dragged out. A bystander filmed it—then was kicked out of the store. Walmart is complicit in covering up a public kidnapping.

Important heads up - as the new appropriations for ICE make it one of the largest militaries/police forces in the world. Theda Skocpol has it exactly right. ICE is the muscle behind autocratic capture in the US.
Harvard sociologist/polisci Theda Skocpol explains how the vast expansion of ICE in BBB may be Trump's secret weapon to overcome the barriers of federalism and complete his autocratic takeover of the American state. (History from Germany & Hungary in 20s/30s.) talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/criti...
