Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

Tiny acts of anti-capitalism. Learning to do some visible mending and patching on my favorite blanket that has been worn down by lots of love. #mending #resist #smallacts

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

My shopping choices are rapidly dwindling, but my money isn’t going to anyone who supports this BS. Bye Target.

I need concrete steps to take for how we start to fight back. I’m working on the “build community” but I need more.

I’m not at all surprised. 💙

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov" The national archives is still doing its job for now.

Looks like we weren’t the only ones who’d rather get a root canal than watch Trump lie about protecting the Constitution. His second inauguration tanked at just 24.59M viewers—less than Biden’s 33.76M in 2021 and even his own 30.64M in 2017. Team Trump will lie about this, so spread the word!

No executive order has the power or the right to tell you who you are. F*ck that noise. Surround yourself with love, and when you’re ready, get back in this fight. We need you. 🫶🏽

Today and in the coming days, remember

RESIST. Don't quit. Don't stop fighting. Don't obey in advance. Don't stop calling them out. Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can. Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone. Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight. RESIST.

“I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits." - Martin Luther King, Jr. May we all embody that spirit and hold tight to our compassion. #MLKDay

Husband: I’m going to work on my puzzle. Me: I’m going to keep watching Handmaid’s Tale and figure out how to take down the patriarchy. Him: if only it were that simple. Me: a girl can dream

Tough life this one’s got.

Also feel the need to say that this is real and happened today

It was never just another app. It was Community. It was Knowledge and News. It was Nostalgia. It was Entertainment. It was Different. It was Connection. And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻 #booksky #tiktokban

For the people in the back…

Never conform

Truth

And just like that, it’s gone… right along with our first amendment rights. This is the 2025 version of mass book burnings.
