I wrote about our foundational supremacist culture, its inevitable outcomes of genocide and slavery, and suggest 3 principles for building counterculture. Imagining the best so we will know it when we move toward it. www.the-reframe.com/building-cou...

Good. Pushback and resistance can get results. Let’s all keep it up and keep going.

Friends in NYC, today is the LAST DAY to register as a Democrat online so you can vote in the June primary against Eric Adams! Please do it now!

Here's a list of DOGE staff, assembled and annotated by my colleagues at BI. Whatever you do, please don't share it. www.businessinsider.com/doge-staff-l...

Wise words from Rebecca Solnit. Let's welcome in all the people who want to do something about the fascist takeover and save our scorn for those who support and/or are satisfied with what Musk and Trump are doing.

Please read all of this. It's true. Although our Foreign Service personnel are now back in our systems this chaos puts their lives at risk. #USAIDfacts www.politico.com/news/magazin...

USAID needs an umbrella coz we've got a storm of disinformation about there about what we do and we need good people who care about other people to spread the FACTS. It's us and truth v MAGA. Please share this video and thread! #TeamUSAID #AIDBowl www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Agree

I wish we could reach the average American and let them know that with Trump’s cuts to the NSF, NIH, and CDC, they will no longer have access to cutting-edge medicine. U.S. physicians won’t have access to new technology. New cancer treatments will be available in other countries but not to them.

ICE manipulated Google by “updating” decades old articles to make them appear current and show up at the top of search results. Researchers found a code imbedded in ICE articles proving this is intentional. Fascist fear tactics #Voices4Victory www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🧑‍⚖️ A judge has HALTED the “resignation” program for federal workers until they can determine if it’s legal. There is a hearing on Monday. We will update as we learn more.

My suggestion for the Senate filibuster: someone wheel in a piano and proceed to play Satie's Vexations as per the inscription in the score.

Frankfort, Kentucky!

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

NEWS: Big crowd starting to gather outside @schumer.senate.gov office in Peekskill at this hour. Dems demanding total opposition: "Lie across the tracks." Very interesting development.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

On Friday, up to a thousand students at #Arizona State University (ASU) marched on an attempted rally by neo-Nazis who were calling on students to report undocumented people to #ICE. The crowd surrounded the Nazis + flipped their table. itsgoingdown.org/students-shu...

This is the way.
