If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

The Trump administration has now fired most of the federal employees who investigate racial, disability, and other discrimination by landlords.
The first time Donald got a lot of negative coverage was in 1973 when the same agency nailed him for being a racist landlord.

Today's my birthday and I was wondering if i could join this lil tradition of sharing a post with my art ♥

Rielli - A half 3/4 half body of a pink female character with pointy ears and a big horn on her forehead, like a unicorn. She has long pink hair in buns with long strands coming out behind. She wears blue fringe earrings and a pink outfit with blue furr on the shoulders.

A red dress witch sitting on her broom. She has a big hat with a star at the end of it. She has puffy red hair, a long nose, and green eyes.

Vega, character sheet, with one fullbody, one backview and 2 headshots.
The character is a woman with afro puffy hair, gold jewels in braids on her head. She has big copper horns on each side of her head with grey lamb ears. She has a big scaly tail and the bottom side of her body is animal shaped with big paws. She has brown skin and big lips.
The headshots are first looking away shyly and the other is cheerful, showing her fangs.
Her outfit consists of a black body, black loosen pants that start in the middle of her tights. She is wearing a jacket with nude shoulders. The inside is filled with furr. The sleeves are big and puffy with pink accents.

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

Michael Caley @michaelcaley.bsky.social · 5d

there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly

and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 6d

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 5d

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown (Gift Article)

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.
