I know we’re all pissed at last nights vote, but as a Virginian I want to change the subject for a minute. Please support the upcoming races for state offices in Virginia. ActBlue has all the candidates. Turning Va completely blue will be a slap in the face to the current administration in DC.

The Resistance needs a visible leader. We need someone to coordinate all the hard working groups. Someone with the balls to challenge this administration. I wish I knew who to suggest.

Yes!! Now!!

Off the wall thought. Since Elon is deciding where the money goes what are the lobbyists doing? Lobbying Elon?

I am tired of all the hand wringing. Who’s going to take charge and start doing something to lead this resistance. Some people higher up than I am need to start getting on any kind of media they can, including Fox, start screaming the truth.

I’m confused. Most Repubs claim to be Christian, Christians are supposed to believe it they should take care of those less fortunate. If they cut Medicaid, they will cut living support for the disabled and mentally ill. How do the non wealthy reconcile this. PS I really know the answer

DEI: absolutely this! 👇

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

Funny how that works, huh? Thanks, @rbreich.bsky.social

This resignation letter slaps. 👏🏽 #EricAdams 😬 "If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." -Hagan Scotten

A list of things we can do: Volunteer at a National Park Call Republican legislators - make issues relevant to them Donate to organizations that are doing work like the ACLU Protest/boycott Support state and local elections. Help us turn Virginia completely blue. (TIA)

LOOKING BACK: This all began with Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. News stopped bring a regulated public service....

Marc Elias in his Democracy Docket: “Trump wants us to be scared. He wants us to give up –gradually and then suddenly…We will not bow down. We will stand tall. We will not obey. Starting at 12:01pmET, I hope you will join us for the next four years.”

We need to focus on getting things done. Lots of calls and emails. We need to work on state and local elections. For those in red areas, keep trying. It can be done. We need to figure out how to motivate the 75% that didn’t vote. All ideas for this one welcome.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

RESIST. Don't quit. Don't stop fighting. Don't obey in advance. Don't stop calling them out. Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can. Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone. Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight. RESIST.

This is the only flag I’m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Let’s make it trend.

Remember, resistance works better if we all stand together.
