Appreciate the work here but it's very important that we don't perpetuate the "good" vs "bad" immigrant narrative. Our immigration policy has never been about public safety. ALL deportations are wrong.

I remember a protest sign that read: In the U.S. we have gun care & heath control.
That sums it up perfectly.

Reminder: you should absolutely start wearing the best mask you can find in public spaces, even if you stopped before. We have no public health at the top level & repeat infections have ravaged immune systems.
If someone gives you a hassle, say "even if it's just a cold, I DON'T WANT THAT EITHER!"

REMINDER: A president’s ability to kill without a judge or jury didn’t come from Trump. It was built by Cheney and normalized by Obama.

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. […] Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro said on Sunday that the ceasefire deal in Gaza is a “farce.” “It’s harmful and disingenuous for American media to continue the charade that there’s a ceasefire in place.” UNICEF reported that Israeli forces have killed 67 children since October 11, 2025.
Israel Has Killed 2 Children a Day Amid Gaza Ceasefire, UN Reports

they were "controversial" for murdering palestinians at their food distribution sites.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a controversial U.S.- and Israel-backed company that provided aid to Gaza, said Monday it would shutter operations.

So I’m getting into my truck at the grocery store and a voice yells “Hey! Young lady!”
I am 48 so I did not turn, but then I see wild waving out a truck window. Old man straight off Duck Dynasty, full camo, beard to his sternum. He says “Your bumper sticker! Read books, punch Nazis?”

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.
People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.
