Thank you to Mr. Reich. He has been a consistent voice for the working class for years. It is also helpful to remember that resistance movements take time (marathon, not a sprint...). robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reason...

Kudos to Gov Mills!

@brockm.bsky.social hits the nail on the head here. 'Tiptoeing around authoritarians' in times like this will lose our democracy. Now is the time to get in their faces, loudly and rudely. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/forbearanc...

Dear MAGA peeps, bless your heart! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYyO...

Trump as Trojan Horse: a fake tan, toupe, and deep disdain for the poor. Will Westmoreland speaks so eloquently for farmers and rural Americans in general. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-iH...

Very well-stated!

We need to start keeping lists. Who is breaking what laws? Who is violating their sworn oaths? Consequences will come.

Good short vid from @parkroseperma.bsky.social on an approach (from Sunjeev Bery at The Intercept) to muzzle Musk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlYJ...

"A lot of people who are super, super rich, pretend that they have earned everything, that they deserve their wealth, and that they obviously are the most talented person... [this is] fundamentally a myth." www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pUx...

The leopards are gathering. The faces that will be eaten are many.

Marc's defiance in the face of ugly oppression and smears should give us all courage for the fight ahead.

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

@brockm.bsky.social is quickly becoming one of the voices most clearly explaining the urgency of the moment. Read this piece. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-comfor...

Sometimes you gotta listen to @parkroseperma.bsky.social multiple times / day 😀 Americans are soft? Yarvin and Musk and co are going to find out that many of us will give our lives to ensure that our children and grandchildren live in a vibrant democracy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=to-4...

Dear US farmers: you were lied to. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4CR...

Good vid from @parkroseperma.bsky.social on the Paypal Mafia and how Musk and his oligarch wannabe buddies view all of us. Those guys are the real danger.

Good article from The Guardian. Are the numbers really as high as they say? If so, maybe we're not so far away from being able to launch a successful general strike. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Let's hitch ourselves to Russia. It's all upside! /s FFS, Rubio couldn't flush his career and legacy down the toilet any harder if he tried.

If you live in a red state, you should be calling your Governor and AG to shame them into suing to unfreeze federal funds for your state. Check out this vid from @marcelias.bsky.social and the team at @democracydocket.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa6t...

We need more visibility and action on the so-called "SAVE" Act. Learn about it and call your representatives (especially if you are in a red state!). www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs5q...

I'm genuinely curious to see how long it will take the people of the US to figure out this is BS. Elon: We're finding billions in waste. People: Great, where's that money? Elon:

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Some pretty good coverage of today's activities from two of my favs. Carville, on the movement that is forming: "We just gotta let this go and get the hell outta the way. Cause it's coming!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikhu...

Dear rural Americans: sharpen your pitchforks and join us in DC so we can have a pointed conversation with Congress about their duty to represent *all* constituents.

Scary but excellent post. I think we can all feel this effect beginning to take hold.

💯 agree.

I can't stop thinking about people who continue to willfully ignore what is going on right now. Alternately depressing and enraging.

Angela is correct, Congress is not going to save us. And the attitude that we'll wait 2 years for the midterms is ridiculous and stupid. We've got nothing like 2 years; by then our democracy will be barely visible in the rear view mirror. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuV2...

We definitely need widespread awareness of what is going on and, sad to say, people willing to put their safety on the line if we are going to keep our democracy.

It's great that Rep. Raskin totally understands the Silicon Valley side of what is going on here.

Could be an interesting week coming up for Mr. Bove... www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8jx...

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
