Feeling hopeless? Please watch this video. Rest but do not quit!

"Look at any program serving Americans with low or moderate incomes that Trump is trying to cut or eliminate, and you’ll likely find a particularly harsh impact on rural areas ... he's betraying the very voters who put him back in power." — @schaller67.bsky.social and @paulwaldman.bsky.social

USDA & DOGE are demanding sweeping access to sensitive info about SNAP beneficiaries. Along with @epic.org + @cendemtech.bsky.social, we’ve urged states & their vendors to decline this unlawful and dangerous invasion of privacy. Read our letter outlining the risks of complying: protdem.org/usdadoge

In today's #FaithfulFight toolkit, @protectdemocracy.org features Rev. Deth Im of Faith in Action. He outlines the ways that faith-based organizing and training can help communities respond to authoritarian tactics. protectdemocracy.org/work/organiz...

This is a MUST read. What's going on right now shouldn't Dems vs Republicans. It's democracy is authoritarianism. The time to act is NOW. Call your rep and both your senators.

The interesting thing is that according to our own Justice Department, MS-13 began restricting tattoos (c. 2015) on its members precisely bc law enforcement was using them to ID them. Members have to get permission, which means fewer people would have them over last decade

“Government Efficiency” 🧐

Everyone understands resistance when people in power to threaten things then care about. Regardless of what I think about those things, I’m happy have self IDed “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” people get mad and join the fight.

Thanks to @nicollewallace.bsky.social and Deadline White House for having @amymcgrath.bsky.social and @denverr.bsky.social on this week! Have you listened to #TruthintheBarrel yet? youtu.be/69neIh5hv58

It's not just you — the administration is pretty obviously being awful, cruel, and dehumanizing *on purpose.* Unfortunately, there's a logic behind it. But we can beat it. My four tips on how to talk about cruelty and scapegoating, from @protectdemocracy.org www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-not-to...

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

When people or institutions defect from each other rather than defend each other, what seemed like a rational choice to stay quiet quickly becomes a trap. @ianbassin.bsky.social explains collective action is how our democracy wins:

Journalists and politicians need to investigate why Musk, the EV guy, is installing politicians to kill net zero: Trump, Reform UK, AfD.

When political pressure to obey court orders no longer exists, suddenly the law, the Constitution, our system of government all come into question. We examine the four tactics the Trump Admin is using to undercut the courts and how we can keep the pressure on. buff.ly/27jLBFS

WATCH: @amandacarpenter.bsky.social‬ and @politicsgirl.bsky.social, Leigh McGowan discuss what we can learn from the Tea Party’s success as an opposition force and the concrete steps we must take now to build a pro-democracy movement.

@kyivpost.com @ec.europa.eu What a difference 11 years make. Marco Rubio once stood with Ukraine and against Putin; now, in service to himself, he is selling out Ukraine, the EU, and the American people in service to Trump and Putin. Prolific Hypcrisy. Source: Kyiv Post. www.kyivpost.com #Ukraine

Please support this effort. @markzaidesq.bsky.social is a serious man

The White House is chock-full of people who should be institutionalized in some public facilities other than the White House.

When Trump declared that the "age of rule by unelected bureaucrats is over!" Democrats audibly laughed and many pointed in Elon Musk's direction.
