The House passed their budget, which will likely lead to draconian cuts to Medicaid, with the small hope some will be offset with negotiations with the Senate.

To be utterly clear: gutting Medicaid and SNAP is fascist eugenics against poor and disabled Americans. This will absolutely kill people. These people do not care about us.

This week is @mxdarkwater.com's birthday week and I am going to be asking you every day until their birthday on Friday to please help them reach the next goal for paying for their next set of college classes. Part of why we stopped doing KTC was so they could finish school. Let's make it happen.

One of the things that has been bringing me joy lately is seeing activist elders—whether it be Jane Fonda, or simply people in my life—still doing the work. Still keeping it real. Still stirring people to action and showing us that a way forward is possible.

Hot tip: we have to collectively stop giving people the benefit of the doubt just because they look like authority figures. Start demanding names and badge numbers. Start asking asking “Am I being detained?” Start locking arms and blocking their way when they start carting our people away.

Unsurprisingly, I have thoughts on the current state of things so I made a Substack, called Anti-Fascism is for Everyone, on how we can practice anti-fascism in our daily lives, take strategic action, and keep advocating for ourselves in the face of waves hands all this. ❤️🖤 C.

What I did last week: 1. You say I need a job 2. I got my own business 3. You wanna know what I do? 4. None of your 5. Fucking business!

Part of how waves hands all of this works to break us is that their plan is to overwhelm in such a way that it leaves absolutely no time to grieve. I strongly urge you to take some time to grieve (even just a few moments to feel that grief).

This is why I feel frustrated with the “unprecedented times” framing. We need to learn from how people have survived and overthrown authoritarianism and fascism. Because our opposition is definitely studying how to efficiently implement them.

I heard there might be some folks who are interested in government waste? Or is it only waste when it’s for children and poor people?

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

if you are the kind of guy who thinks a lot of big thoughts about how you would TOTALLY punch a Nazi if you ever got the chance, I have great (meaning, terrible) news for you about how many public places you can go now where that’s a genuinely useful attitude to have

So, it turns out that the people who violently dragged and (illegally?) detained the woman at the townhall meeting in Coeur d'Aline were private security from LEAR Asset Management. 🧵 cdapress.com/news/2025/fe...

For folks who are watching the video of the woman in Kootenai County, Idaho being dragged out of the townhall by (literal) brownshirts, and are (understandably) distressed and wondering, “What can we do if we see this happening?”: May I introduce you to the tactic of de-arresting?
