In addition to nationwide protests in all 50 states across the U.S., our 50501 Washington DC Chapter is having a PEOPLE’S STATE OF THE UNION March 4th! If you can’t make it in person to your local protest, consider joining this digital demonstration. INFO: www.linktr.ee/50501DC @polrev.bsky.social

The Dow just had its worst drop since March 2020, sinking 700+ points and wiping out gains since Trump’s inauguration. Consumer sentiment is at a 30-year low, inflation fears are rising, and new tariffs on steel, autos, and semiconductors are set to hit hard. 💰

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

Call the US government today, flood the lines and apply maximum pressure. Demand they do their jobs, arrest Musk, and impeach Trump. 5 minutes, 5 calls, repeat. #3E

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Art isn’t about playing nice - it’s about paying attention. Look closer. See what others ignore. Reveal what matters to you. That’s where the real work happens. -> your observations, vision, and point of view matters. The world needs #artmatters #artistlife #creativeprocess #deborahscottart

Presidents Day protest in New Orleans. Share your city’s voice!

If 3.5% of a population takes to the streets in organized protest, they will thwart a fascist takeover of their government. You matter. You can make the difference, and you’re going to have to, because our courts won’t succeed without you.

Across the government, probationary employees and Schedule A workers—including individuals with severe physical, psychiatric, or intellectual disabilities, as well as veterans—are being let go.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services. The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

I believe!

Each generation has fought to give us what we now have. They’ve given their blood, freedom, and lives. What does it say about us if we aren’t willing to risk our comfort, to raise our voices for fear of becoming a target? Well guess what, we are already targets. So fight. Speak out. Act out. RESIST.

Our current administration and senators must dedicate every moment until January 3rd to confirming regulators and judges who will stand up to the Trump administration’s blatant disregard for our environment, wildlife, and parks. This is not a time for despair—it’s a time for decisive action.
