The trope is usually that there’s an evil advisor vying for power from a naive, but kind, leader. The leader isn’t supposed to be stupid and also evil?? Also the advisor is not supposed to be stupid either.

I am working on some political blockprints rn. I’ll make scans of them for others to print/distribute and post them here soon. (They will also be simple enough for anyone to make their own stamps using them! I can even post reversed versions to simplify things!)

PERSONAL: today is my infusion day (a delightful immunosuppressant for treating my chronic illness) but that means I have LOTS of time to really look things up. What do you want to know about the US Department of Education and/or public K-12 education in general? #AMA

While we wait to see what happens with ED and related funding, here are some things you can do: 1. Find the percentage of federal funding schools near you receive 2. Follow your school district and teachers union on social media/their newsletter 3. Be loud with your support for trans students 🏳️‍⚧️

So this guy is a self-described Christian nationalist who wants to use federal funds to enforce far-right Christian beliefs. Doesn’t bode well for public schools!

Be careful organizing with parts of the left who repeat Putinist talking points. (I’m not relitigating!! but I don’t believe that people who align with Trump’s bff are all that bothered he won. Or very motivated to fight against him 🤷‍♀️)

Friends: I do not want to see any kvetching about people on the left who didn't vote for Harris. Those mistakes didn't decide this. White supremacists & whoever else wouldn't vote for a Black woman did this. Misogynoir. The enemy is WHITE SUPREMACY and FASCISM. Solidarity time. Now. Shore up.

Some of you have not obsessively read Wikipedia pages of historical/current dictators in an attempt to fall asleep only to stay up planning how you’d survive under their rule instead and it shows.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

HANDS OFF OUR HEALTHCARE MUSK! THIS IS A SOUND THE ALARMS MOMENT A random billionaire and a few teens he hired have gotten into our money at the Treasury, and are now getting their hands into our Medicare and Medicaid system.

Do I think the “both parties are the same” argument reduced voter turnout? Yes. Did the Democrats also fail to make a good enough case to counter this? Yes. But ultimately I’m most angry with actual Trump voters. They did this.

The Democrats have been mostly failing to meet the moment rn (to put it mildly) but the “this is why it’s good they lost the election” takes make absolutely no sense.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

People really out here acting like a genocide announces itself like “Hello my honey hello my darling, I’m a Holocaust” They don’t walk up to you and introduce themselves as “I am a genocide.” You have to recognize the pattern and name it yourself. This is what Raphael Lemkin wanted us to do.

An actual literal coup attempt was made, and immediately the Republican Party normalized it to maintain political power. And then Democrats, like the fools they are, insisted upon normalizing Republicans.

I oppose authoritarianism across the political spectrum because it serves nobody except those in power. I do not want to work with or support those who promote authoritarian theory and tactics. We NEED a leftist coalition, but I don’t believe the authoritarian left can safely be part of that.

I hear this, I really do. But Democrats can make the lives of every Republican in both chambers a living hell until they break. I would like to see John Thune cry on national television. I would like Mike Johnson to beg for mercy. I want every minute of power to be like nails on a chalkboard.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.
