He declared an "emergency" at the border in order to abduct people of color. He declared an energy "emergency" in order to bypass vetted permit approvals for oil and gas companies. He declared an "emergency" with trade in order to leverage companies with 'tariff exceptions'. Get it yet?

The arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is a warning sign of just how far Trump and his allies are willing to go to silence dissent. This is not normal. It’s authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

The President doesn’t know if he needs to uphold the Constitution. This shouldn’t be shocking because he fomented an armed insurrection. So, yes, he should obviously be removed from office. He’s violating the Constitution & nuking the economy. #RemoveTrump Call your reps 202-224-3121

Clinicians at the Department of Veterans Affairs say President Trump’s return-to-office order is forcing many of them to work from makeshift spaces where sensitive conversations can be overheard. And veterans have noticed the lack of privacy.

We chose ActBlue as our donation processor because they follow all the rules and have systems in place to prevent fraudulent donations, like requiring donors to affirm US citizenship/residency. Trump knows he can’t outlaw his opposition, so he’s trying to kneecap it by cutting off its funding.

There is nothing that's going to make him stop lying, gaslighting or breaking the law. Nothing ever has. Note well all the enablers. When he's gone they will look to rewrite history and continue their public service careers. Do not permit that to happen.

The only strategy known to work against a fascist power grab is widespread and diverse pro-democracy organizing. We win by showing up for each other and with each other.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

This is one of the reasons I am adamant that we cannot rely on material conditions to convince people that Trump is a danger. We MUST message, and we must do so repeatedly, personally, and swiftly.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
