I desperately need other white folks to understand that the tactics used by ICE against Rene and Alex (before and after they murdered them) are PRECISELY the same tactics used by your local PD against black and brown people daily in this country. Yes, we need to abolish ICE but, it can’t stop there

#1 is ensuring the bill isn’t implemented. #2 is dealing with the fact that a majority of Washington residents voted for it, and the margin of trans support in lefty urban areas was not nearly high enough for comfort. WA friends, trans orgs to support? I found this one: genderjusticeleague.org

All of the bills are shameful travesties that will take a while to undo, but the CO and AZ bills are written in a way that are going to make them a little harder to undo, while the WA bill was written in a way that suggests the author did not believe it would ever actually be implemented.

People do not want to be told who the 2028 nominee is. Candidates should announce they're running and then we can have a real primary and a real choice. We cannot repeat the last few presidential cycles.

Lots of wins to celebrate but this is a really important one: SpaceX lost its bid to toss an NAACP lawsuit over one of its ultra-filthy and polluting fossil-fuelled data centres (this facility is powering half of Claude responses, btw) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/31/x...

SpaceX loses bid to toss NAACP lawsuit over Memphis data center air pollution

The Colossus data centers and a power plant that SpaceXAI is also building in Southaven, Mississippi, have faced community backlash for years.

🚨 new story 🚨 Link in bio! In 2024, Louisiana passed a law mandating the 10 Commandments in every school and higher learning institution—other states have passed similar laws. But under further scrutiny, something becomes apparent: all of these bills came from one source.

🚨 new story 🚨 What if I told you that big business is what lead to America becoming a Christian nation?  For antigravity magazine, I chart how a century long scheme to Christianize the US led to the creation of the modern 10 Commandments laws. antigravitymagazine.com/feature/mini...

It's November 5, 2026 This goes to vote Nov 9, 2026 Call your Senators & ask that they *oppose* BAAJA (S. 5653) —undermines tribal sovereignty —dismantles critical environmental regulation —would hasten energy projects & Al data centers —is paired w/ House increase to mining/drilling/pipelines

RE Sources has long advocated for infrastructure development focused on community values and needs, and with their input—starting with those who have been most impacted, such as tribes and industry workers. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 (S.5653 or BAAJA bill) significantly threatens the ability of states and tribes to protect our local environment. While this permitting reform bill is intended to speed up infrastructure development-including improvements to the national grid and transmission lines that are important for clean energy development—it simultaneously dismantles critical components of our environmental regulatory system. This is not an acceptable tradeoff. This bill would push through energy projects and Al data centers, led by international corporate industries and billionaires, at the expense of our environment, communities and people. By intention, this all comes at the same time that the House republicans' reconciliation bill includes language to allow increased mining, drilling and pipeline construction. Help fight this bill! Learn about some of the major issues with this bill below, and if any of these concern you, take a moment to contact your lawmakers to tell them to vote NO on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026. We are urging people to call their senators, as this is one of the most impactful ways to make your voice heard. We've prepared two versions (short and long) of a script you can use, or you are more than welcome to create your own talking points. If calling isn't your thing, then please send an email. You can use this form with a pre-drafted (but editable) statement. KEY OFFICES (ie BILL SPONSORS) • Sen. Heinrich (D-NM, bill sponsor), (202) 224-5521 • Sen. Whitehouse (D-RI, bill sponsor), (202) 224-2921 • Sen. Murkowski, (R-SCIA Chair), (202) 224-6665 • Sen. Schatz (D-HI, SCIA Vice Chair), (202) 224-3934You will be receiving a phone call momentarily... Here are two different (short and long versions) scripts you can use to leave a message for your senator. Be sure to state your name and address, so they know you are a constituent. Please be kind and courteous with your message. Short script: My name is _____. I live in _____ County, my address is __________. I am calling to ask that Senator _____ vote NO on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026. I understand that we need more energy and jobs but it is not worth sacrificing our environment for fast tracking energy projects and Al data centers. Please find another way for us to build green energy and to create well paying jobs. Thank you for your time.Longer script: Hello, My name is ________. I live in ________ County, my address is ________. I wanted to talk to you about the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026. I have spent some time reviewing the proposed Bill and have a lot of concerns and am asking Senator ________ to vote NO on the Bill. This bill will fast track fossil fuel energy projects and Al data centers while severely limiting environmental protections. Many of the environmental processes and regulations that the Bill is attacking have been around for more than 50 years and now in a seemingly rushed Bill they will be eliminated. States, Tribes, and the EPA will lose their authority to shut down environmentally damaging projects. It is really important that we decrease our dependency on fossil fuels and this Bill does not do that at all. We can do better than this. We can create a Bill that increases green energy infrastructure, creates good paying jobs, modernizes our permitting system and increases resiliency of the environment. Thank you for your time. Thank you again for your support!

We need to decisively and collectively demand that every single anti-ICE protester be freed and have their charges dropped - from the Minneapolis 15, the Praireland Defendants, pro-Palestine demonstrators in Michigan, the Spokane 3 - everyone.

Marco Rubio oversaw the “deals” and payoffs and pressure to get tens of thousands of people expelled to countries they’ve never been to, including thousands of Cubans living in Miami. He is at least as responsible as Stephen Miller — maybe moreso — for the ongoing third-country removal disaster.

I don't want expensive prosecutions that lead nowhere, I want the system that enabled & enacted the harm to be defunded & abolished, I want to ensure the people in them aren't just permitted to fade back into positions "regular" police, prisons, jails, probation & parole, I want closure of ALL camps

I see an effort to paint Frazier’s 8,300-vote win as DFLers rejecting him vs. statewide DFL candidates. It’s the opposite. When moderate DFL power brokers spent over $1 million and teamed up with Republicans, Hennepin voters saw through it and elected the progressive. 🧵

Map of Hennepin County’s 394 precincts titled "Frazier won 50.55% to 48.92% and carried 199 precincts to Folk’s 195." Above the map, a bar splits the countywide vote: Frazier 50.55%, Folk 48.92%, with a dashed line at 50%. Precincts Frazier won are orange and cover Minneapolis and much of the northern and inner suburbs. Precincts Folk won are navy and cover most of the western and southern suburbs. The precincts Frazier won gave him 58,802 more votes than Folk; the ones Folk won gave him 50,502 more than Frazier. The difference is the 8,300-vote margin.Map of Hennepin County’s 394 precincts titled "Frazier won 52 precincts by 40 points or more. Folk won 20." Each precinct is shaded by the margin between Frazier and Folk, from Folk ahead by 80 points (deep navy) through even (light gray) to Frazier ahead by 80 (deep orange); Frazier’s share was 50.82% overall. The deepest orange is in Minneapolis; the deepest navy is in the western suburbs. Folk won 53 of his precincts by under 10 points; Frazier, 38. Shows how precincts voted, not how individuals voted.Chart titled "Folk’s side outspent Frazier’s, and Frazier won." Whole race through Oct. 19. Two large figures at the top, separated by a line. All spending: 2.0 times, Folk’s side to Frazier’s, campaign plus independent, $1,096,314 to $556,896. Campaigns only: 5.7 times, Folk’s campaign to Frazier’s, $693,546 to $122,527. Below, two bar panels. All spending, split into campaign and independent: Folk side $693,546 plus $402,768, total $1,096,314; Frazier side $122,527 plus $434,369, total $556,896. All spending per vote received: Folk side $4.40, Frazier side $2.16. Frazier won 50.55% to 48.92%. Both figures will rise when later spending is reported.

I don't care if someone's visa expired, or they got a speeding ticket, whatever. The punishment shouldn't be that it ruins your life. And taking rights and pay away from other people does not help 90%+ of folks, it drags the floor down on what's acceptable harm.

@noteiz.bsky.social · last wk.

Right now, it's extremely easy for billionaires and governments from other countries to intentionally fuck with the lives of people who never elected them, but it's extremely difficult for anyone else to move to another country, especially without exploitation of their labor. It's just colonialism.

@noteiz.bsky.social · last wk.

The way mainstream rhetoric talks about immigration rights is so frustrating. Freedom of movement should be a basic human right. If you need to move, you should be able to move and get support. You should get the same rights as other people, you should be able to vote on the stuff that impacts you.

allison montgomery, the trans woman who won in alabama, deployed messaging like this where 1. she directly calls republicans pedophiles and sex pests 2. she directly points out that sex testing kids is pedophilic. compare this to the spineless cis wafflers who face no danger here lol
