I'm a queer, godless, leftist, cat collecting antifascist in NC. Prone to screaming into the void and self replies. This looks like a good hill to die on. No Pasarán!

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

“Once, I swallowed my pride to offer him what he values the most—public praise on the Sunday news shows……Going along to get along does not work.” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Yes, the employee at McDonald’s should be able to afford rent, groceries, bills, health care and retirement plans with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.

"This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in charge get above themselves, the French just stop working and everyone remembers who actually holds the real power.

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Yes! Resist! This gives me great joy.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

😊This was so needed. Fuck fascism!

This is a major task that should have already been completed. Get on it Dems!

This is the kind of crowds our outrage should be drawing. 200,000 protesters can't be ignored.

Yes! Occupy DC!

It think this is largely true. Hesitant only on "too late". It will indeed be too late for non-violent solutions only. The difference will the human cost and how long we struggle. Let's Occupy DC now while we might still have sympathy from those ordered to shoot us in the legs.

I spent a few days & nights in Zuccotti Park with my kid in 2011. We slept with hundreds of others in that cramped space. It made me starkly aware of my own classism. That changed me. I think it changed a lot of people. We need to Occupy DC now!

Fuck yeah! More of this!

Something that I'm thinking about that I hope you're thinking about. 😏 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clandes...

Occupy DC! We need to witness up close what is happening in our government and to protest when and where it's most effective. Physically occupying DC public space is imperative, both strategically and symbolically. It's a battle line that I think we need to draw. Occupy and hold!

Occupy DC base camp was McPherson Square in 2011. I propose we start our new occupation there. When we're evicted, we move elsewhere, but never out of the city.

Occupy DC!

Occupy DC!

Occupy DC!

Our presence in their physical space must be overwhelming and impossible to ignore. It's time to non-violently Occupy DC on February 17th. Where are you Occupy Wall Street fighters? It's time to finish what we started in 2011.

We need to occupy DC until this is over. A Zuccotti Park type encampment outside every federal agency. Benefits go far beyond protest. Occupy galvanized and honed us for this moment. We need it now to finish what we started.

When you read this….READ it. Stop…and let the bone-jarring, undeniable truth of this travel rapidly up your legs…experiencing the rattling of your teeth, just before it collides with your brain. 1/2

If you are scared to protest now, remember: this is the easiest it will ever be. Life under dictatorships is pure hell & lasts for decades, probably the rest of your lives if you don’t stop them now. Read about Iran, Syria, Afghanistan – sooner or later you have to overthrow them. Choose sooner. #3E

Mindset reset: Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life. If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

Occupy DC! A million encamped can't be ignored.
