Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

Referring to the US as a "homeland" was always creepy as fuck, always nazi-adjacent, and creating a Dept. of Homeland Security was an obvious lurch toward authoritarianism that should have been strenuously resisted from the beginning.

People really look at the power of organizing in MN and think, “I sure can’t wait until I do my part on Election Day.”

Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social has been trying to get qualified immunity eliminated her ENTIRE career.
What the fuck is it going to take to get people to listen to her?

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.
They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.
My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

I will donate, phone bank, and knock on doors for any Democrat who promises to do everything to the Republicans in power that they’re doing to innocent people. Not talk about the price of milk. Not talk about norms. Just want a promise that the these motherfuckers will rot.

So, we got World War 2 because Hitler couldn't get into art school and we just might get World War 3 because Trump failed geography.
I think the "villain with sympathetic motivation" writing fad might not be as realistic as we thought.

asking Grok to remove Anne Hathaway's clothes, when Anne Hathaway has done multiple nude scenes in movies, makes clear the lack of consent is the appeal
