Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

checking in on the leader of the Democratic Party in the senate to see if he has said anything about the black bagging of one of his constituents….Weird how he hasn’t said anything for days now. Chuck has to go and we need to see what kind of corruption he has to his name. Corporate dems 🤝 fascism

Abolition was an unpopular position for a few decades. A struggle made votes for women, civil rights, marriage equality popular enough to become law. On the other hand the KKK had its popular periods. Popularity is bunk. The question is if you lead or follow.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

I'm stepping on the theme of Chris' book here but, we have an extremely toxic information environment controlled by wealthy oligarchs who have aligned themselves with Trump, the whole point is to manipulate people into making poor decisions. bsky.app/profile/chri...

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file.

Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters right now that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington. Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

Curtis Yarvin wrote that “as the crappy govts we inherited … are smashed, they shld be replaced by a global spiderweb of…independent mini-countries, each governed by its own…corporation w/o regard to the residents’ opinions.” This reminds me of DOGE, “Network States,” & “Freedom Cities.” You? 1/

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

Crucial thing you must do right now is strengthen and expand your community. Serve together. Try a new activity. See each other in person. Over on the other site I am continually struck by how the rabid intensity does not actually reflect community or connection. Only way we get through this.

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...
