General Strike Tennessee Chapter @gsus-tennessee.bsky.social · May 12

Sharing this very important thread again about how we (looking at you, white allies) can act against ICE, but this time as images to make it easy to share across platforms.

Make sure every ally sees this.
#AbolishICE #OnYourSide

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people.

Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Does he, health wise?

The current administration is run by centered fools. Counties don’t want much closer ties to Putin’s Russia or even China. We could have strong trading partners, and champion green energy instead of dirty deals with Saudi and Qatar and the horrors perpetrated by Israel w/our aid and weapons.

Scott Leiendecker was a Republican Election Director for the City of St. Louis, overseeing local elections. He was a 2020 election denier. It should be illegal for this man to be involved with any election related service/company.

My spouse commented this, in part, involves Musk because of Argentinian lithium deposits. Idk myself, just putting it out there. But who will be able to afford new cars??

Saw a work truck loaded w cement crusted wheelbarrows & huge Trump stickers. The guy looked hardworking, but hand to mouth, and I thought of this news, and the irony he’ll be amongst the first hit when the damage to our economy catches up. Will he fault the Dems?

Thank goodness. My grad school comes through. There are more of us, and there is no reason to fold before a bully.

What's your rewrite? "President Trump on Wednesday issued a document claiming he could grant himself powers not granted to him to snatch up federal funds the Constitution grants Congress jurisdiction over, in a move sure to meet with legal challenges."

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 9h

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

Yes, I think we’re over the edge now, in large part due to these type of headlines and ledes. Reminded, too, of the failure to analyze and present P2025 until grassroots and indie journalism forced it onto front pages at the 11th hour.

Wasn’t it Hegseth who boasted he could kill anyone he wants?
