Kudos to dozens of airports across the country that are refusing to play state propaganda.

Facebook is collaborating with the regime... It's safest to assume everything you do on any social media (including DMs) is available to Trump’s goons.

For those of you attending the #NoKingsMarch; please stay safe and keep it peaceful. Please be mindful that there may be bad actors among us.

Their purpose is to cause chaos to get a reaction from the police. Report them when you see them.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

How fashy do you have to be for the Washington Post to refuse to sign your pre-clearance policy? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before signing deadline

The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

It’s infuriating that we are paying Hegseth’s salary.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 2d

The Pentagon is restricting press access, and the NYT raises a serious First Amendment concern. The SecDef’s response? A wave emoji. It’s a childish mockery of accountability. But dodging scrutiny with memes is how authoritarians treat a free press.

Pope Leo says that American bishops need to be more vocal and support migrant communities from being abducted by ICE in US cities

"Important that we as church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what's going on in some cities in the US"

"The church cannot be silent"

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

This GOP’s healthcare plan is to allow millions of people to become uninsured and to die. Their plan is to further privatize healthcare so their billionaire friends and big pharma donors can get even richer by charging Americans even more for healthcare.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.
