The image is a poster with a bold message painted in large, green, brushstroke-style letters on a dark background. It reads:
“FIGHT POVERTY NOT THE POOR”

The style is raw and expressive, conveying urgency and social activism. At the bottom, it includes the text “Poor People’s Campaign | poorpeoplescampaign.org” and credits the design to Jesse Purcell, 2017.

I was just wondering if we could use the weapon at our disposal as we had in the ‘60’s to protest and make aware our dismay in what is happening today in politics. The guitar.

Stop coddling this administration! Call a lie a lie! He's the president, not a toddler! Journalists need to start acting like actual journalists, not daycare workers! Stop treating the president like a sniveling child with hurt feelings. 😭
Journalists need to start acting like it, not treating the president like a hurt child.

Yes! Canada chose hope over fear, clarity over confusion, unity over division. We saw through the noise. We saw through the fear-mongering. We saw through the false promises. And We stood tall. And We stood together. And we said: Not on our watch. Not on our land. Not in our name. #CanadaStrong🇨🇦

Trump is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. Nobody can say this is an overreaction or alarmism or "TDS" when this is literally what the administration is doing right now.

By shipping men to a Salvadoran prison without due process, the Trump administration has begun defying court orders in earnest.

Musk met with Tesla employees to beg them not to sell their stock even though it "feels like Armaggedon" and the stock has crashed more than -$200/share. It's proof the boycott is working. We make change by working together. Keep it up.✊ Boycott and protest Tesla. Abandon Twitter. Sell TSLA stock.

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed. The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that. So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.
