No guilt, just keep moving forward #motivation

Laguna Beach is an art colony. We support the arts. Chip Bok is the brilliant award-winning political cartoonist that created this artwork.

Rise again. Push harder. Never surrender. #motivation

BREAKING: The Associated Press sues three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing the First Amendment.

The road is tough, but so are you. Keep moving.

Spring is in 29 days.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Trump’s fascists really don’t want you to see or share this video from Rep. @aoc.bsky.social’s Know Your Rights webinar.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Screaming Into the Void This is fucked. Screaming into the void, words swallowed whole by the dark. Echoes come back empty, a ghost of my own voice asking the same question— is anyone listening? Static hums. Silence stares. The void does not answer, but I keep screaming.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fire the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which oversees government whistleblower protections and enforces certain ethics laws.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

Damn, “Prayer of the Refugee” by Rise Against hits kinda different these days

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

Again and again, these GOP senators are choosing to remain silent or outright enable the shredding of our Constitution and dismantling of our government because they care more about the billionaires who will benefit than they do about us. And all of these senators are facing re-election next year.

This is probably the most accurate take.

National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

This timeline sucks anyone own a DeLorean?

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

Out of the mouth of babs - they will repeat what they hear! Never believed Harris lost! This election was stolen!

There is no LGB without the T. Fuck anyone who says otherwise.

Here is a Butterfly 🦋

Taxpayers pay Elon Musk $8M a day and he’s already got 2 new government contracts totaling $38.4B since Trump came into office. DOGE isn’t about America. Boy didn’t want the gravy train to stop… youtu.be/j73qj9DbkWg

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

If you are having a bad day, week, year…Going skating, that was fun!! With @mandiedewino.bsky.social

Political brainwashing works by repeatedly exposing people to selective information, emotional triggers, and social pressure to shape their beliefs and behaviors. 1/2

35 days until spring

Crockett: While he was stopping money… somehow the only money that didn’t stop was the money going to his organization. I don’t know you can have him be watchdog as well as the guy living off of the government. If you want to talk about government welfare, it looks like Elon Musk

🚨 ALERT: The Future of Voting is Under Attack 🚨 The SAVE Act is not about protecting elections—it’s about silencing voters. The bill will create massive barriers to voting, especially for women who have changed their names, naturalized citizens&anyone without immediate access to specific documents.

Your body. Your choices. Your rights. The fight for bodily autonomy is a fight for basic human rights. Stand for choice. Stand for freedom. Stand for yourself and others.

How does this improve your life?

Kristi Noem: ‘We can't trust the government anymore.” Dana: “You are the government.” “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.” 🥴

Our house can’t catch a break. 🤒
