This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

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.

The President who was doing flyovers at Daytona and golfing through his presidency wants an accounting of every federal employee’s work week or they will be fired. This while Elon Musk won’t account for any of his time to Congress.

GOV. MILLS: “.. Maine may be one of the first states to undergo an investigation by his Administration, but we won’t be the last. .. “.. But you must ask yourself: who and what will he target next, and what will he do? Will it be you?” www.pressherald.com/2025/02/21/r...

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Refusing to study or share information about climate change will not stop climate change, you greedy, short-sighted, sociopathic fucks www.axios.com/2025/02/20/u...

Big protest coming to Stonewall National Monument in just an hour or two. If you are in the area, get down there, be active, show your disapproval of the removal of transgender people from all online websites for the Stonewall National Monument page!

VSPs, for the unaware, means Very Serious People — ostentatiously performative centrists who’ve beset the discourse for much of my life, notably since the lead-up to our Iraq invasion. To call craven moral cowardice the heart of their ethos, and the impulse that drives them, is spot the f*** on.

Many of us said for years that the Biden administration should've nationalized SpaceX because Elon Musk was a legitimate national security threat. Those suggestions were ignored and considered quite unserious. 🧵

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

Performative naivety is the price of entry to VSP circles.

Y’all, we gotta think about our word choices. We gotta use the language of people we are trying to reach. Stop saying “oligarchy.” It doesn’t resonate. “The rich.” “The ruling class.” Hell, try “land barons.” We gotta get rid of the professor speak.

Early in desegregation white Americans were faced with the prospect of integrating their beloved public pools with Black people Instead of sharing the space, they paved over them, destroying their joy to sate their hate All so we can keep hating Black people

Stop. Calling. Fascism. Insanity.

For those lacking but still wanting to make use this A box fan can use used quite easily to make a very capable air filter especially with wildfire season coming about in a few months

Hegseth's tattoos got a lot of attention, but of course he denied they were racist. What probably should have gotten more attention: He belongs to a church that teaches slavery was the pinnacle of race relations. dougwilsonbelieves.com/beliefs/sout...

Every day, they're testing how far they can take this. If they think they can take it all the way, they absolutely will. But we don't have to let them.

To think, just a year ago, we were celebrating the @frontlinepbs.bsky.social documentary winning the Oscar for shining a light on Russia's war on Ukraine. This film is so important to see right now. www.ap.org/media-center...

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

We Should Have Finished Reconstruction: A Brief History Of American Politics, 1865-2025.

Was complaining about [gestures broadly] in the family chat and my brother, a reliably warm, sunny person, said “you know, whenever I start to feel bad about circumstances beyond my control, I just take a moment to yell at my senator.” Then he shared this app apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

Here's a #blacksky quote. Can't find the original post though. @sifill.bsky.social said something similar too this too.

again, a big thing they can do that many are not is to *show they are opposing Trump.* Modeling resistance to fascism is vitally important! and it doesn't require much in the way of actual power to pass legislation. 1

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...
