There are maybe 200-300 people gathered for the Stop the Billionaire Agenda May Day protest at Liberty Plaza across from the Gold Dome in Downtown Atlanta.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

This may be mentioning language use in the American context, but I believe we need to start finding a new, positive narrative where we are protectors of each other, and this earth we live on - not protestors, but Protectors. We need to find a good new story we can all get behind for change.

Words say: *copied from a human on an Indivisible page

hi Everyone -- Want to make a suggestion about wording that is taken straight out of the indigenous Hawaiian's activist playbook, ie: that we refuse to use the word "protestor" when referring to our activities and activism (particularly when talking to the press). The indigenous Hawaiians realized a long time ago that words matter and the word "protestor" is triggering in the American context so they now insist on being referred to as "protectors" not "protestors" and will immediately correct anyone who says otherwise. I want to suggest we emulated this because we are not "protestors for American Democracy" but "Protectors OF American Democracy". It takes a critical mass of people to do this but once accomplished,it changes the entire dialogue and perspective in our favour.

This is exhausting because this has been investigated and there is no link. None. People just assume vaccines cause autism because signs of autism only become noticeable around the time children get MMR vaccines. That's it! It's people making a connection that isn't there! It's GENETIC

I can tell a patient is autistic because you ask what their pain is from 1-10 while they're in excruciating pain from kidney stones and they're like "this is entirely subjective, how would I even know what a 10 feels like if I've never experienced it?" and every neurotypical person just tells you 11

here's a sunflower bc fuck fascism #art #watercolor #IStandWithUkraine

a watercolor painting of a single sunflower against a blue sky. (there's a bit of green near the bottom.) the style is "more is more" with none of the white paper showing through. some of the seeds have fallen out of the center of the sunflower, probably in the pockets of innocent civilians.

Autism is not a disease that needs to be cured. And to address the rise in diagnosis, maybe we have studied more and are able to better take care of people who have special needs. Neither RFK Jr. or 'Dr. Oz' know anything about actual medical procedures or how modern medicine works.

1. Vaccines do not cause autism. 2. Wakefield, possibly the person who did the most to lodge this idea into the public consciousness was not only a fraud and a con who promoted the idea to line his own pockets, he was also a monster. 3. Antivaxxers now lead US public health agencies

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".
