Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

@thecinechick.bsky.social directed and we co-wrote this piece, narrated by @alexwinter.com and created by a fantastic group of Seattle filmmakers. Was a pleasure to help support a cause I feel strongly about as a former Tesla owner, as well as a lot of fun to joyfully resist with great creatives!

Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

Once a country starts committing heinous human rights violations, it just gets easier & easier to commit more & more. People get desensitized to it & become comfortable dehumanizing others. I’m so worried about the United States & the depths to which we have fallen.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

If you can’t physically protest today, then be sure to amplify and share protest videos online, or drive past protesters and honk to show your support if you can! We need to flood the internet with protest footage, of both big and small events. We can’t count on the media to cover it.

Clearest proof yet that the Trump admin uses "DEI" to mean "nonwhite people doing something impressive and getting credit." Navajo Code Talkers made a big difference in WWII. The Axis had more trouble translating their language than cracking codes. And it's not like the Navajo owed the US anything.
