None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Really feel we should do something, like, tomorrow @benjaminwittes.bsky.social @razomforukraine.org @timothysnyder.bsky.social

I think that Democrats should boycott the State of the Union, which is pointless. Instead, of having a Democrat provide the rebuttal, they should bring in recently fired federal workers to describe the important work they used to do.

We have a ham.

Yes I really need to learn more about this fellow who was governor of our state for ten years and a notorious attention-seeker and brawler for years before and after. I’d like to find out more about this guy!

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Time to hit the streets @razomforukraine.org?

So bothered by Musk’s prep school intonation.

@mta.info What actually happens when the app says a bus is coming and then it’s gone without it ever showing up? B63 no show

DOGE is hurting working people, plain and simple. Federal workers are members of our communities who work hard for this country, but right now they are in fear for their jobs. It’s not right. These are some of their stories.

I wrote about how the Trump administration's assault on the civil service draws from the same playbook used for decades against public school teachers. A nation that devalues its public servants devalues its future www.vox.com/donald-trump...

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Wikipedia is rolling out anonymity features piloted in countries with authoritarian governments in the US & is making a change to not show editor IP addresses in response to a global "increase in threats" from Elon Musk, Heritage Foundation, and governments www.404media.co/wikipedia-pr...

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

Today in @nytimes.com

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

more than 1.8 million women have been denied contraceptive care since the US has ordered its freeze on foreign aid. The number is growing by about 130,390 women every day, per @guttmacher.org

Why isn’t this headline “Democrats Select Party Chair”? Stop burying our facts in your equivocations, @nytimes.com

Emerson’s “On Heroism” offering some guidance today. Must find a way to treat this as intolerable and act accordingly. Got there via Russell Banks’s also depressingly timely Cloudsplitter

I too am perplexed

NYU-Langone is cancelling appointments for gender-affirming care for young trans people, parents say. The cancellations come after Trump's order directing institutions that receive federal funding to end gender-affirming care for patients under 19. hellgatenyc.com/nyu-langone-...

RESULT: Democrat Mark Zimmer just flipped a state Senate seat in Iowa in a special election tonight. Zimmer prevails 53% to 47%. Trump had carried the district 60% to 39% in November, per @the-downballot.com.

now that DeepSeek has completed AI, we hope that Silicon Valley will turn its attention to the next best thing: investing in rural history museums
