This enabling of normalization of corruption and crime has got to be nipped in the bud NOW as we see & recognize this. We mustn’t look away. We can multitask to leave no one behind. As a survivor I urge you to interrupt conversations that promote violence. Call it out. Make it abnormal bc it is.

I am a survivor. I did everything I was supposed to do. Police already don’t take this seriously. I was abused by law enforcement for calling for help. Back then I was scared. I’m not anymore, fuckers. The tide is turning. 🌊 The world will hear our voices.

Jeffries: "Domestic violence is a serious issue in this country for women all throughout America. And the notion that House Republican leaders would dismiss the seriousness of what is clearly emerging as an untenable and frightening situation relative to Rep. Mills is irresponsible."

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

Meta, Apple and Google are the unholy trinity just trying to save face like the rest. Theater & optics to gain user rapport is all this is. Don’t take the bait⚠️ This trifecta cannot be trusted.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

No it’s not what kids do and we will not allow some small, angry men to normalize corruption and crime in our society. Fuck that and fuck you too, Mikey poo.

These young men are groomed to think this is normal and for someone in Vance’s position to dismiss it is a remarkable statement of guilt. We are not normalizing corruption & crime. We know it’s your only way out of the hole you dug for yourself. You will lie in the bed you’ve made.

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

JD Vance: "Because we have such a big problem with left-wing political violence, we have to train the investigatory and law enforcement powers of the govt to focus on that particular problem ... we really have to retrain the entire govt to focus on this left-wing violence problem. We are doing it."

Why isn’t MAGA protesting peacefully? I haven’t seen any MAGA protests defending MAGA’s current position, but I have seen many individual MAGA influencers and the like intentionally agitating peaceful protesters. Very curious. 🤔

I believe we may come and go from this realm until we “ascend,” and I have yet to discover what that means. Maybe my beliefs will continue to evolve over time as they have in my fluid nature. But here & now, this is what I believe. A diverse experience is our very purpose here. #philosophy 🤓

KatKat 🐦‍🔥 @katinthestars.bsky.social · 4h

Diversity is what makes the Earthly realm what it is. Diversity is human purpose. I believe in a “One Awareness” that is channeled into countless parts (bodies, conduits, forms, etc.) for the very purpose of experiencing diversity.
I believe death isn’t the end, but a door. 🚪🧵

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids

The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.

As a survivor I can almost guarantee that man abuses his wife too so maybe check on her. There is no other reason to not call it out. These madmen seek to normalize corruption and crime to save themselves.

Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that Americans adore him.

But that illusion is harder to maintain if millions of people are in the streets protesting.

This is why Republicans are trying to discredit No Kings Day rallies before they've even happened.
