Over 7M people marched Saturday in 2700 locations and no one broke windows, wiped feces on walls, stole laptops, or beat police with the American flag; as opposed to the couple thousand MAGAs who stormed the Capitol.

Boycotts must become a foundation of the resistance.

We need to withdraw our dollars not just from specific companies (Amazon, Target, Starbucks, Disney, Meta, Tesla, etc) but from corporate consumer capitalism more broadly.

Thrift, shop local & from small online retailers, repair and grow things…

Notice this asshole did not have a response when this lady mentioned that he was standing up for a pedophile.

Keep doing that. Republicans cannot defend and this stops them in their tracks.

This is Virginia Guiffre's statement to Ghislane Maxwell, read by Guiffre's attorney in court the day Maxwell was sentenced.

I had to divide it into 2 parts. Please read each & share.

These are the words of a child rape victim, a victim of the monster Trump now protecting & arranging her freedom.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

Their goal is to leave America sicker, poorer, more desperate and less free. Easier to impose Christofascism on a broken people.

This is a very important video for every woman of child bearing age to watch and take seriously what is being tested for future denial of women leaving the United States. You are going to lose your rights to your health care choices.

I know many have been stalked at the borders of the United States trying to re-enter.

Now we're on to stalking people leaving the United States.

Watch this video so you can prepare as needed for when we can no longer flee to safety.

They're getting ready to lock us in.

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word.

The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis.

Pundits are - in vain - looking to economics and politics when trying to explain Trump's behavior.

But, in reality, the central place to look if we want to understand Trump and his policies is this:

The psychology of dominance.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.

I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

“Perhaps Trump’s favorite lie is that the US spent $350B on Ukraine funding while Europe spent $100B. It’s just made up.”

BREAKING: Job losses spiked a whopping 245% in February.

This is higher than any month since July 2020 (the middle of pandemic) and the highest in any February since the Great Recession of 2009.

When Donald Trump threatens student protests, consider why: throughout modern history, student movements have repeatedly been the catalyst that toppled dictatorships. Authoritarian leaders fear campus activism precisely because it works. Below is a list of 36 student-led pro-democracy movements.🧵

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.
