When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys
Absolutely heinous.

Trump acting like he is the CEO of the U.S. doesn’t mean he is. He literally is not allowed to do much of what he is declaring. He is neither the CEO nor king. Do not comply in advance.

“I would punch a N*zi.” Um, you won’t even wear a mask.

You want to be more involved in community care? Wear a mask. You want to be an ally for the most vulnerable like disabled people and people of color? Wear a mask. You talk about revolution but it means nothing if you’re not masking. By masking, you’re preventing death and disability.

When exchanging your @signal.org contact info over an insecure channel (like a text message or DM), it's a good idea to generate a Signal link (URL) from the app, then you should RESET that link after you connect with the other person on Signal.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

In the world we are building, you belong here, and ICE does not.

Expose ICE. Tell on them everywhere you witness and encounter ICE.

We look out for each other.

TELL ON ICE.

We don't argue with nazis. We do other stuff.
We all know Musk is a white nationalist by now. Spending our time trying to convince people he is, or to simply take the danger he poses seriously, is an approach that keeps us focused on one stage: the convincing.

That only helps Musk. We did that with Trump and it just slowed us down.

The year before Oct 7 was the deadliest year for Palestinian children.

We will not accept that as normal.

The 75 years of apartheid was the reason why Gaza existed as an open air prison.

We will not accept that as normal.

Free Palestine.
