We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward. Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it. secure.actblue.com/donate/hrccr...

Psst: 24-hour boycotts ALONE do nothing - if they don't change action permanently. If you boycott a company for a day but then just continue right on consuming at the same level you did before and from the same places, it does nothing. Let it be a first step in changing your actions moving forward.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

Chief Justice Roberts once again fails to rise to the occasion, leaving what should be his job—defending judicial independence—to some generic bureaucratic response with a mere suggestion.

I attribute this to Billionaire's Psychosis. Musk believes he's one of the few hard-working people on Earth, the victim of everyone else's mooching. So he has all these clever schemes to uncover them. The numerous problems with the schemes never occur to him because he doesn't know what people do.

“The Trump administration understands that it does not have absolute power and that it must rely on creating a false illusion of power to create a chilling effect to get everyday people to respond to fear, comply in advance, and censor their own free speech.” www.publicnotice.co/p/aoc-homan-...

I love to hear that voters showed up to keep the AfD away from any real power. But as a Jew, hard to get cheerful about any German election where the Nazis come in second.

There are genuine questions about who is carrying out all these sweeping illegal actions within the federal government. It's not Trump (golfing continuously) or Musk (posting continuously). So it's a bunch of 20-something cybercriminals?

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

When 47 verbally attacked and threatened Governor Mills of Maine, I felt triggered. My biological father used to speak in a similar manner, always threatening and demeaning, especially toward women. This is how abusers operate. I know I’m not alone in having encountered people like this in my life..

Y'all, I hate to poo-poo on organized action, but not buying anything for one day isn't going to do anything.😫 Where are my committed folk who are willing to not buy anything for a week? I do it all the time. I'm gonna suggest y'all try to get comfortable with not buying things for extended time.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

I think there should be more talk about: "Of course, he won. One dude put almost $45,000,000,00 behind electing him, and all of the biggest media outlets in America tacitly endorsed him by normalizing his authoritarianism." Anger about one dude stealing what we've all built can neutralize despair.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

It’s actually a moral imperative. If you can run for office, you must. Women only hold 25 percent of the 500,000 elected positions in America. Because we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu. emergeamerica.org

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.
