I participated in the airport protests the last time the Trump administration tried to violate the rights of green card holders by refusing them entry into the US. My father is a green card holder. This is bullshit. How can we help Mahmoud Khalil? Where can we protest?

With everything going on in the world, wanted to point out a big protest going on in Georgia (one of the swing states Harris lost this election). On March 20th, the Georgia Youth Justice Coalition, which to my knowledge is entirely youth-led, is having a TON of young people to the Georgia State Capitol throughout the day to testify to lawmakers and advocate for their OWN future. Who’s in?

Dear former Presidents of the United States of America,

President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama and President Biden, the American people need your help. Our government, the will of the people, is under attack. We are being infiltrated from within by billionaire oligarchs who hold their own interests above all. We are bending to foreign powers that we, until recently, considered evil. Our friends across the world are watching in horror as the United States turns its back on an ally in the midst of a brutal war for democracy. The government programs you championed are being dismantled with reckless abandon. The country and the world are lesser for it. Our rights to liberty and free speech are being dissolved.

Each of you has held the highest, most sacred office in our land. You were each a beacon of leadership to the world. You tirelessly dedicated yourselves to our country and through your sacrifices and dedication, America was strong and free and prosperous.

We call on you once again, Mr. Presidents, to stand for freedom and democracy. Americans must unite as one people with one voice to say that enough is enough. We cannot be complacent while the Trump administration and Elon Musk destroy generations of American progress and goodwill. 

Please, join together as one voice and denounce the actions of the federal government. Remind us of our American values and resolve. Publicly make a statement that Americans deserve better and the world deserves better from the United States of America. Remind your former constituents of what is important and what is at stake. Encourage us to take peaceful, meaningful action as our republic allows and demands of us. With your endorsement, the American people would be empowered and unified like we have not been in many years.

You worked tirelessly for the American people when you held our highest office. Please, Mr. Presidents, the American people need you one more time. 

Sincerely,

We the People of the United States of America

Republicans got accused of "Defunding Police" based on the proposed budget plans eliminating police grants. Hey atleast if a Martial Law comes the Police ain't gonna be much effective.

Ukraine is severely weakened in its ability to defend against Russia. Removing assistance at a critical moment in Ukraine's war effort; without a clear strategic alternative, is a clear indicator that Trump wants Ukraine to fall. This is direct pro-Russia action to undermine Ukraine and not an action which furthers the cause of peace. Hence Trump is pro-Russia reversing years of US history and against the wishes of most Americans.

Whether Trump is a Russian asset or not is mute - it doesn't matter - his actions is the telling indicator of where he stands which is against the interests of the American people.

Regular reminder that when the time comes, they will be the ones arresting everyone for being queer, trans, disabled, a scientist, for just speaking out, etc.

They’re not here to keep you safe, they exist to protect property and power.

Cops are not and will never be safe. They shouldn’t be welcomed or trusted. Ever. Even the gay ones. Even your cousin. Even a woman cop.

This is an image of a line of a few dozen Chicago police officers in riot gear standing outside of and protecting a Tesla dealership.
