Fascism finds foot soldiers because there are always people eager to follow orders and love it. And if nobody inside ICE, CBP, or DHS will stand up or walk out, then stop pretending the problem is just Trump. The rot runs deep.

If you want to understand how systemic white supremacy functions consider that zero cops went to prison for killing Fred Hampton in an illegal raid 55 years ago today but Leonard Peltier still languishes in prison 47 years after defending himself from two cops conducting an illegal raid.

My only issue with Biden pardoning Hunter is if he stops there.
Biden should commute the death penalty for the 40 Americans on federal death row, cancel all student debt via EO & force Trump to revive them, & protect abortion nationwide via EO. Get bold. Take action. Slow down MAGA fascism! Fight!

I'm looking for House and Senate Democrats to break out into protests as effective the haka, recently used by Mãori lawmakers in New Zealand, that shut down the parliament there. Powerful, direct, and appropriate to their rights being trounced on.

This, please.
Sometimes, people ask me how to distinguish authentic #Christianity from a false version of the faith. Try this simple test: if your #religion teaches you to love and act for justice, that is what #Jesus taught. If your faith teaches hate, exclusion, and oppression, that’s a false #Gospel.

Hey Bluesky! My name is Levar Stoney, I am the mayor of Richmond and I am running for the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia because Virginia is the backstop of our reproductive freedoms and our civil liberties.
Repost this, give me a follow, and let’s protect all Virginians from the MAGA agenda.

Such a helpful reminder...
One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.
We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

A majority of pro-book ban school board candidates lost in Texas, but education advocates are worried about other election results.
