KNOXVILLE STUDENTS: “To see this many people come out, it means so much. Because living in the South it can feel isolating to have these different viewpoints.”
Huge student-led anti-ICE walkout happened today, despite threats of discipline from school officials💪🏽

IF Americans take back their country (BIG if), it'll take SO MUCH WORK, & SO much money to undo the *foretold* damage that criminal traitor Donald Trump is inflicting on American institutions that took CENTURIES to build.
What a self-inflicted tragedy.
Because "Trump will lower my egg prices"..

Donald Trump continues to consolidate power and show a flagrant disregard for the rule of law. This arrest is another affront to our rights and freedoms and should alarm and enrage us.

Wikimedia has entered into an agreement to _limit the damage AI companies are doing to them_. Libby is actively producing AI content. These are radically different things, so it makes sense that they would receive different reactions.

More of this messaging please. AOC shouldn't be the only one.
AOC: What we saw today was a horrific act of violence. What we have seen and are now seeing is that ICE has not just become an anti-immigrant force—it is becoming an anti-civilian, paramilitary organization. People are being taken off the streets for exercising their free speech rights.

As much as this pains me as an American, the US is a rogue nation ruled by a despot unbound by national or international law. The free world must quickly form a new alliance perhaps across new borders to protect itself. Our engineered Supreme Court and supine Congress lack the courage to help you.

Notable to me that fed-up leaders of Greenland and Denmark are not only telling Trump to stop his threats, but also suggesting that their NATO/EU compadres should speak up against the bluster as well. I’ve seen messages of support from Finland, Norway & Sweden today.

📌It must be clearly articulated that we will not survive three more years of this frenetic, bloody pace. Trump’s “presidency” has been chaotic, brutal and has accomplished nothing but weakening our standing in the world, and making our day-to-day lives far more challenging, expensive, and stressful.

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

No, it’s much worse than that—since 1985 he’s openly said we should work with Russia to divide the world between us “for peace” and bomb or starve all other countries into submission by cutting aid, including punishing our NATO allies—sound familiar?

Americans may have opposed the GULAG but let's not kid ourselves:
Americans are more than comfortable with their own incredibly brutal and sadistic penal system. Look at what goes on at Angola and ADX Florence.
Remember this is a country where jokes about prison rpe are normal.

Respectfully,
You say Trump is “Making America the Soviet Union,” but it’s even worse than that.
He’s making the USA a *vassal state* of the Russian Federation.
(Note: A vassal state’s “a political entity that, while potentially having internal autonomy, is subordinate to a more powerful state.”)
