Immigration is a good thing that we should want more of.

It's good when people go to new places and bring their culture with them. It's good to go to new places and experience their culture. We do better as a people when we see how other people live and see ourselves as aspects of the same thing.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it.

Every time I feel like I know a lot about the rise of fascism in Germany, I learn something new.
My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

The Wall Street Journal needs to issue a full retraction and apology to the trans community for this. Nothing less will suffice. They put us all in danger and recklessly put out incorrect information.

In deploying California Highway Patrol troops to California cities, Gavin Newsom is mirroring Trump's every move, taking advantage of the extent to which Trump has normalized fascist authoritarianism to expand state violence under Democratic branding.

More police means more violence, not safety.
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced he is sending CHP officers assigned to Crime Suppression Teams into San Diego, Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Central Valley, Sacramento, and the San Francisco Bay Area. He will, among other things, use predictive policing to suppress “criminal activity.”

Bluesky social media people are in fact correct that these laws limit free speech and harm smaller platforms however...

These age verification laws are not intended for child safety. That's a lie. The actual intention is to control what people see and deny being human.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

"Cockroaches" the exact literal term most used in Rwanda by Hutu ultranationalists against Tutsis in the lead up to when they killed hundreds of thousands of them in a matter of weeks. Also used by Begin to describe Palestinians, "drugged cockroaches in a bottle."
A reference to "cockroaches" is telling. They see Black citizens of DC, migrants, and the unhoused as pests in need of removal, never mind the preceding centuries of inequality, slavery, death and terror. Please stay vigilant and feel free to report anything you see to us or tag us in your post

This is genocidal rhetoric calling people cockroaches. This is exactly the language used in the Rwandan genocide.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

It's the mutual aid groups, the rapid response networks, and the growing collective manifestations of popular organization and grassroots support that have been fighting Trump - not the politicians.

Remember that Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul did the same thing Trump is doing now for the same exact reasons.
🧔🏿‍♂️I can't believe that Trump would deploy over 1,000 national guard troops to NYC to harass Black people, despite historically low and dropping crime! This is just fascism and a show of force designed to intimidate!

👩🏼Um... don't you mean DC? And it's only 800 soldiers?

🧔🏿‍♂️No, it was 1,000 and NYC.🤡
