Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

This is absurd. We built this database to stop officers who commit misconduct at one police agency from being rehired at another. It's about transparency and safety -- it helps the hiring agencies and the public. With due process protections. Trump shut it down

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

This is not about efficiency. Giving federal employees purchase cards saves money - it reduces layers of paperwork and red tape. Imagine running a business where you stopped employees from purchasing anything. The goal is to shut down government by other means.

An important detail that I think gets lost in the madness: Federal workers are categorized as "probationary" when they get promoted. So experts who've worked in government for 10, 20, 30 years are getting indiscriminately cut in the DOGE purge because they got promoted, not because they're new.

Democrats can’t sustain this kind of rhetoric without action. At the federal level they need to hold a 24-7 vigil at the Capitol until the coup ends. At the state level they could seize federal assets until court orders are being followed. We’re already outside the regular constitutional order.

In Sinclair Lewis's "It Can't Happen Here," (1935) the fascist who got elected President of the United States writes in his autobiography about his realization, early in life, that being an obnoxious dunce got him far more attention than being a smart and decent person.

For people wondering when the right began falling in love with Putin: It was after the passage of the first anti-gay law in Russia in 2013. That was the moment GOP elected officials and rightwing Christian grifters started showing up on Fox to heap praise Putin. www.theguardian.com/world/2013/j...

What truly fills me with despair is how Americans are fine with this — even happy about it, enthused at any degradation of immigrants. Is a Republic made up of such people worth preserving?

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...
