Imagine a 6-year old…💔
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Lucy’s made this great sign if you need a to-do list for the fascism.
I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.

Communities are everything right now.
Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

We need a Panama Papers-like coalition of investigative journalists to expose this coup-roster structure—with details on the illegal usurpers and how they fit in the execution of the overthrow. And, fast prosecution of these yahoos before they can fly the coop when it crumbles.
i don't think its expressed enough that we don't really have *a* government anymore. nationally policy is being directed and created by like roughly half a dozen factions (and maybe like 50 to 100 total individuals) on a totally incomprehensible and erratic basis

I am delighted to drop out of national chains and Magazon to support local shops and grocers (and farmers markets) and give my loved ones experiences instead of cheap crap from big retail.
HMM…DEAR FELLOW CITIZENS,
THE NEW CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IS DEPENDING ON YOUR SACRIFICE FOR THE GREATER GOOD. OUR GOVERNMENT IS BEING CORRUPTED BY MONEY. WE MUST USE THE LITTLE MONEY WE HAVE TO FIGHT BACK!!!

New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about.
During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Block and let them stew in their bot-ridden hate and disinformation. So gratifying.
i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

Welcome to the democracy new friends. Egg prices may rise and fall, but this is no country for old, 🍊 kings.
I bet there are a lot of folks at No Kings rallies today who voted for Trump because eggs were expensive in 2022 or whatever. Disastrous choice but at least they’re on board now.
