Dear EU intelligence agencies,

Please help us end this global nightmare by leaking the Epstein Files you likely have. The corrupt regime in the US never will.

The current occupant of the presidency is a completely demented lunatic who has lost touch with reality.

That should terrify EVERYONE.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

'The intimidation era is done. People are still scared. It is more a time for cautious optimism. Remember Minneapolis, this might be when the right learns they don't have the control they thought they did. This resistance has to become national and habitual.'

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

The wave of civil unrest sweeping the United States has taken a massive turn in New York City, where thousands of demonstrators have flooded the streets in a "huge peaceful protest" calling for the abolition of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

The agent said that??

"When they told the agents they were US citizens, the couple said, one responded, “It doesn’t matter.”

Another said, “What you’re doing is illegal. This is like Germany 1938,” the court papers said..."

I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

considering unraveled is based out of chicago & were on the ground covering things during the chicago ICE raids, that's been their observation as well. which is validating to people here in a sense because shit always feels more intense while it's happening & no, we're not imagining this up here.

I was with this guy right up to the end. It's not perfect but I'm really, trying to hold onto the hope that this is a sign of a shift we could really use right now, and that it's in time to matter.

These yahoos have got to stop with the obsession with Trans-folks though.
