This is 💯 true. Organize within your local community. 🤘💙

Many members of Congress and city mayors may make bold statements, but let's not forget that we’re ultimately on our own. No one is coming to rescue us.

🖕🧊. Blocking an ambulance from leaving the protest with an injured protester? Threatening to shoot the ambulance driver? 🧊 Is causing needless harm nationwide. Stand up. No Kings on the 18th. Be there. 🤘💙

Just west of Fort Qu’Appelle in Saskatchewan, the Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation is working across the US border to revive centuries-old trade routes as part of a new Indigenous-governed trade corridor.

From our friends at @nationalobserver.com:

Indigenous nations plan a tariff-free trade corridor across the US-Canada border

The best way to celebrate the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners…

…is to also release the Epstein files.

Robert De Niro: "We've had 2 and a half centuries of democracy. We've fought in 2 world wars to preserve it.
Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away. Fuck that." De Niro is asking people to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th.

I reside on Spuyaləpabš land, & would rather pay property taxes to the sovereign nation. I honor the legacy and history of the Spuyaləpabš and honor my godparents who are Íŋyaŋ Woslál Háŋ Oyate and Haudenosaunee. Thank you for the gifts and knowledge you have imparted over this lifetime. 💙🧡 #MMIWG2S

If the news covered the

HOSTAGES ICE IS TAKING EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY

as much as they are ones from a different country,

That would be a nice change

First it was Los Angeles. Then, Washington, DC. Then, Memphis. Now, Portland, Oregon, is in President Donald Trump’s sights—just the latest Democratic city facing increased militarization.

But the picture that Trump paints of a “war-ravaged” city literally just doesn't exist.

The “war-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head.

My video report paints a very Portland scene of defiance—and dance.

Fascist and authoritarian movements rely on misinformation and fear to gain power. We must actively counter their lies, propaganda, and scaremongering with verifiable facts.
