STATE VIOLENCE IN FREEPORT, NY. 🚨 ICE agents violently tackle and pin down a resident in the middle of a busy street on July 30. Screams of terror echo as families watch their neighbor dragged away. We MUST demand an end to this brutality NOW!

Trump killed the Medicare Part D program. Millions of seniors who ration pills because they can't afford refills are about to pay more. Your grandma having to choose between meds & groceries wasn't enough for them. People will die because of this decision. Your grandparent could be one of them.

AI & screens are reshaping childhood & classrooms faster than most schools can keep up. Without strong guardrails, there are real risks to learning, privacy, well-being & human connection. That’s why I’m calling for a better balance: devices down, eyes up, hands-on. bsky.app/profile/aft....

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

So, first the Trump DOJ diverts law enforcement resources away from monitoring white supremacist extremism. And then targets one of the organizations most committed to monitoring the white extremist threat. Message received. Loud and clear.
