The Trump Regime will not be known for the care it took in doing anything at all.

But we still haven’t seen the Epstein files! Could that be because Krasnov’s name appears frequently? Asking for the country…

Being upfront with people about how I'm feeling and my opinions. Spending part of the day like it never happened so I can get things done. Carry labels around that say "TRUMP IS THE ENEMY" That I put in every high visibility spot I can when nobody is watching.

To the last point, a group of faculty just wrote up this open letter reaffirming our shared values and calling on our leaders to act which we hope many folks will sign and share! bit.ly/DemocracyAnd...

This open letter (currently gathering signatures) is an opportunity to affirm the value (and values) of higher education and to stand up against attacks on the people, programs, and institutions that are part of higher education's essential work.

This is Schumer’s problem: he thinks we are always 1-2 steps away from a crisis, when we are LITERALLY drowning in crisis after crisis. I’ve been trying to explain the whole thing to my daughter who is currently in AP Gov: she keeps saying “that’s not what it says, how are they doing this?”

Unfathomable. And I am SO SICK of “lawmakers” essentially practicing medicine without a license.

I produce a podcast called Grief in the Raw & we are gearing up for season 2. This has been such a black safe space for the host and guests to talk about those tough subjects and it has changed my perspective of grief. Would totally appreciate it if you subscribed! youtube.com/@griefinther...

I honestly think we are beyond scheduling out protests… it really needs to start being every fucking day and night. These people have declared war not just on us, but the world. It’s time to really push back

ICE has repeatedly disregarded federal laws, operates with minimal oversight, and fosters ideological extremism.

It's not the same, I know, because he is so much closer to Russia than I was, but when I was a little boy, I was scared that Russia would annihilate the world. I didn't know how to pray, and would walk around every day with the cold, dark fear that one day, I could just die. I'll pray with your son.

💔🇺🇦 I am sorry and don't know how to fix this. The current regime in the U.S is betraying us all. As citizens we continue to support Ukraine, despite the treachery of the felon in chief. I pray for your strength and your safety.

My Bluesky feed is a constant procession of NYT stories about the horrors and depredations of the Trump Administration... which the NYT helped put into power.
It's incredibly f_cked up.

Trump has no "pandemic experts" so of course they're MIA.

I really don't trust anything this administration would release, such as the JFK or Epstein files. Who's to say they'd only release the parts of what they'd want people to see, or even doctor it?

2. Pressure Senate Dems to do maximum obstruction and bring the Senate to a halt
3. Push Chuck Schumer out of leadership for his great failure last week
4. Get on local TV across the country
5. Use social media to talk about the Trump attacks on cancer cures.
There are more. This is a start.

Just a thought... The average analyst price target for Tesla stock is $367 - $425. Can bullshit be called where Musk is clearly getting help from Trump & MAGA? If they think recent selloffs represent an attractive entry point for investors, IT'S TIME TO REALLY SHOW THEM #WEARETHEFLOOD MAKE IT RAIN!!

There is a reason why reps.fyi or @resist.bot exists -- because calling YOUR reps is what works. Calling outside of your constituency is not as effective as you may believe it is.
And yes, it is more effective to call your GOP rep than it is to call a Dem rep outside of your constituency.

Here’s a great list from Mariame Kaba of actions to take besides voting and protesting. It’s possible to be immobilized by depression and, some of these actions are small. Maybe picking one and doing it with friends can bolster strength and courage.

It's particularly short-sighted not to ensure disabled people are protected and provided for because, if we live long enough, we ALL become vulnerable, and most of us will be physically disabled in some way.
