Amplifying Ukrainian voices here and everywhere. I have family in Kharkiv and Crimea and a pile of family history enduring Russian aggression. If we are going to learn from history, we need to tell our stories. I run with a pack of rowdy shibas.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Boycotts matter when people are paying attention! Time to send Spotify a message.

ICE is running ads on Spotify.

Boycott. Opt out. Unsubscribe.

Not really sure why anyone expected anything different. If you really think Trump is going to do anything contrary to what Putin wants, I've got a bridge to sell you. Whether you agree he's an actual "Russian Agent" or not, he's most certainly compromised to Putin.

"The US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier"

This is ridiculous.

Per the @economist.com, the “logistical cost of maintaining the navy’s flotilla in the Caribbean” is currently around $7 million a day.

RELEASE THE #EPSTEIN FILES. ALL of those involved need to be held accountable. NOW. WHY are people protecting rapists? I. believe. the. women.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

Good photogallery from No Kings nationwide shows that people love the inflatable animals, especially frogs and unicorns, used by the Portland demonstrators. As for flags, they're the red, white and blue variety. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

Photos: More ‘No Kings’ Protests Across the U.S.

Organizers expected millions of Americans to attend rallies in cities and towns across America, protesting the policies and actions of President Trump and his administration.

It had a street party vibe and was super fun.

Ukrainian Nadja 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 @ukrainiannadja.bsky.social · 1d

No instigators or counter-protestors that we saw (and this location has had some in the past). People wore all kinds of costumes, had great signs, and had a bunch of different instruments... Mostly percussion, but also saw violin, guitar, and trombone. Those driving by were very much participating.

Observations from #NoKings in Saint Paul, MN today. For context, this was a smaller, nhood protest (the big one was downtown Mpls today). It was VERY family-friendly. There were lots of kids of all ages, many with their own signs. Also LOTS of seniors of varying mobility.
