Severence's Milchik X tv off by Kendrick Lamar

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

@governorwalz.mn.gov Beaumont, Texas needs you for a town hall. Our two congressmen refuse to hold town halls. Help our indivisible group to host you. @gtconway.bsky.social @hankgreen.bsky.social @deanobeidallah.bsky.social @johnfugelsang.bsky.social

Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling a) a single weapons contract or b) a single Elon Musk contract?

An amazing breakdown of Trumps corruption. Compiled by Ryan Harter, this doc breaks down Trumps pattern of corruption and abuse of power. docs.google.com/document/d/e...

After the 2024 election, a group in my Texas town formed, planned and began to act. See our very first newsletter, and follow along. I’m so proud of what we have done so far. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social @deanobeidallah.bsky.social @jessicacraven open.substack.com/pub/southeas...

Trump’s FBI plans to go after antiracist Black leaders and organizations. 1/ www.vanityfair.com/news/story/f...

What’s happening in the United States reminds me of the rape of innocent, oblivious Persephone by brutal Hades, also known as Pluto, God of hidden wealth. His name shows up in the word plutocracy. Time to wake up to how things really are and, like P, toughen up and take charge. #mythology #denial

Trump wants us to feel disoriented and paralyzed by his barrage of executive actions. But sociologist Jennifer Walter has devised a plan to combat his ‘shock and awe’ strategy. youtube.com/shorts/LqkSN...

Old white men do not represent Hollywood’s burgeoning diversity. They are anachronisms of a bygone era — when gender inequality, racism and misogyny were the norms.

Sen. Kristen Gillibrand to Pete Hegseth: "So you just cannot denigrate women in general. And your statements do that. 'We don‘t want women in the military, especially in combat.' What a terrible statement! So please do not deny that you‘ve made those statements. You have."

I still don’t get how we didn’t win after that DNC roll call.

At this point, it’s @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and my MBFF, @deanobeidallah.bsky.social keeping this girl afloat. Thank you both, for the work you and your teams are doing!!

We are going to take the fight to Trump. There will be no honeymoon for him. No moment of grace. No giving him the benefit of the doubt. We will never meet him halfway on his bigotry, sexism and cruelty. We know who he is. And more importantly, we know who we are.

America's wealthiest tech oligarchs are showering Trump's inaugural committee with millions in donations. Why are billionaires aligning with fascists? So the rest of us fight each other and don't look up to see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Amazon to pay Trump admin at least $40 Million, laundered as documentary about Melania Trump. #opCanary

One of the worst Trump picks is Russell Vought, an architect of Project 2025. Translation: he shouldn’t be in charge of anything ever. Agreed? Tell your Senators that via the link below right now! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

On this anniversary of January 6, I’m following three separate but related stories about the rise of violent extremism. From the very top of the chain to the chaos agents and militias below, we have strong reasons for deep concern. My write up: https://buff.ly/3PpYkz1

Officer Danny Hodges tells the real story of what happened on January 6th. It wasn't a day of love. It was a day of hate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYaH...

My new book, "Policing White Supremacy," with Beth Zasloff, is out tomorrow. thenewpress.com/books/polici...

Democracy is on the docket. We are tracking 193 active voting rights lawsuits across 40 states. To get free filings, summaries and updates on these cases, check out our litigation database:

Now for your morsel of hopeful news: According to Politico, AOC has enough votes to be the new ranking member of the House Oversight Committee.

Hell, TF yes!!!!!

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy. The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up. Don’t give them want they want. Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

Just a reminder that there are no rules anymore! We're putting up trees and lights and stockings, we're watching A Muppet Christmas Carol and Home Alone and Elf daily, we're drinking egg nog and eating candy canes and pie whenever we want. We do not care. We are unhinged. Merry effing November.

A good block list below. 🙅🏻‍♀️

This is a good block list. Best part is that as MAGA are added, once you subscribe and block all, all the new adds are blocked, too. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Yesterday was a whirlwind! It was great to see @bsky.app soar against the backdrop news of cabinet assignments by the incoming administration, as well as the image of Trump in the white house again. I already feel chaos fatigue.

Middle aged, half white (white appearing) woman, blue dot in a red state, introverted, science-believing, fact searching, literary reading woman who has ex-husbands, children, and grandchildren. Here to record the memories. Get some sunshine, read a book, give a hug.
