MAGA policies are deeply unpopular. People in huge numbers hate the Big Ugly Bill and are horrified by ICE.

Stay the course:

* Disrupt ICE

* Keep protesting

* Occupy public space

* Fight for fair 2026 elections

* Keep up the pressure on your legislators

* Help those in need

It's working.

Oh I tell you, you'll need smarter people than me for that question!!

But those people are out there if you Google around. Maybe start with "food justice" and "sustainable farming."

cautioned us about) going after Portland is a seriously dumb move.

Just from a chess perspective.

Ditto, ICE terrorizing people in white middle-class neighborhoods and at suburban schools.

It's like they learned nothing from their (metaphorical) KKK grandparents. 🙄

😄 That's's seriously true.

Honestly, a lot of what they're doing betrays how delusional so many of them are.

That they've been getting high on their own supply.

Dunning-Kruger Effect on steroids.

Like - Portland? If you're trying to convince average middle-class white people (the kind MLK

difficult to even access for most people.

The way to change this horrible situation, however, isn't to bankrupt farmers.

Farmers don't care what they grow. They just want to keep their land. They'll grow fresh food if we help them transition and pay them fairly for it.

of the U.S
mainland, you can see how little population we actually have once you leave the coasts.

Like much of the world, our entire food system is oriented to export crops and highly processed food production (read: sugar), while fresh food for the U.S. population has become very expensive and 🧵

Thank you for this thoughtful question 🫂

It's super complicated, but I think these are the basics.

The *massive* amount of soybeans, corn, and wheat produced in the U.S. is specifically designed for export.

There are 342M people here on 2.26 Billion acres of land. If you look at a density map 🧵

To be clear, I don't think we could take on the 82nd Airborne

But I think the 82nd Airborne would be *extremely* annoyed at having their time wasted, confronting frogs and unicorns. And would quickly be looking for donuts.

Pro tip: Voodoo is way overrated. Go with Blue Star or Coco Donuts 🍩🍩

Listen to @piperformissouri.bsky.social

Beyond the sheer stupidity of tariffs...

Notice how the Regime manipulates the stock market so they and their billionaire buddies can rake in more money?

They're doing the same thing here with farm land.

Bankrupt farmers.

Guess who then grabs the land?

Debby33 ❌ 👑 @debby33.bsky.social · 13h

I grew up in a John Deere factory town. I am asking you to listen:

* Not every farmer voted for Trump (so stop the FAFO 🤬)

* National Dem leaders walked away from "the Rust Belt" many years ago but now they whine about people "voting against their own interests" 🙄

* This is about a land grab 🧵

As @rustygrills & @tnhousegop beg Trump to bailout farmers, farmers are begging the tariffs to stop so they can get back to work. Why won’t Republicans stand up to him? @MarshaBlackburn @AndyOgles @GovBillLee

Nonviolent resistance is NOT passive, nor risk free.

If we want to up the odds (not "guarantee," but up the odds) of getting through all this without major loss of life in confrontations with agitators or ICE or militarized police or the National Guard ...

Nonviolent resistance is the way ⤵️⤵️

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.
