In my humble opine we should discuss and face what went wrong with the democratic leadership and why they lost/disenfranchised/failed to inspire the gen Z vote in the 2024 elections. I realize it's a painful topic but if we don't fix this, it'll happen again. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel. They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands. Keep up the fight.

PSA: Psy-Ops push at BOTH SIDES of a wedge issue. Opinions you agree with can be as polarizing (and dangerous) as ones you hate. If you really want to believe something you hear - that's a sign you should make sure it's actually true. Angry words aren't as satisfying as effective action.

Yes. This. Even in districts where Republicans do still hold town halls.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “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.”

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Do you feel terrified, confused, exhausted, overwhelmed, unable to focus or summon any energy to resist? Turn off the media and mute social media pundits who are filling your every thought with what the oligarchy is doing. Breathe. Centre yourself. Focus on what you and the resistance are doing. #3E

Seems kinda crazy to be working in this NIH grant application in the weekend ‘superpower’ time. But I can’t let some ketamine-riddled billionaire tell me my life’s work is waste. I’m helping babies goddammit!! 🧪

In Colorado, after they made a big showing of arresting a “Venzuelan Gang Member” (to back up Trump’s fearmongering) they just declined to press charges and released him. Any update on the guy they did the same about in Chattanooga after the TBI Director made similar claims?

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined. Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯
