Do not shut down. No one needs to do everything, but we can all do something. Program in your reps' phone numbers and call once a week. Support independent media. Encourage friends. It's not over until we give up using our voices.

"It's characteristic of authoritarianism to represent politically neutral organizations as biased against you because the rule of law IS biased against you if you're a criminal" (caps mine) @onthemedia.bsky.social nails it again. Essential listening.

While the administrations actions seem chaotic and absurd, there is an even more disturbing philosophy at work. Thanks to @alwaystheself.bsky.social for this essential listen. Part 1/2 here open.spotify.com/episode/2n0l...

"IT IS A COUP -Random women with better headlines than any editor in America"

Rage-quit.

@booker.senate.gov Dem social media team blowing this up?

🤦‍♀️

Senator Heidi Campbell @Campbell4TN on X "Now THIS would actually work. Consumerism is powerful! But we’d have to get the word out and stick together- are you in??? Retweet- spread the word." #StrikeReady

THIS is why Elon Musk and his DOGE cabal should be hauled before Congress to answer questions: www.wired.com/story/treasu...

Last week, Elon Musk's staff illegally breached the U.S. Treasury payment system and gained access to millions of Americans' personal data. We're calling out Elon Musk to put on his big boy pants and answer some questions from the Oversight Committee. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvv-...

Hundreds of people gathered outside of the William S. Moorehead Federal Building downtown this afternoon to protest Project 2025 and Donald Trump’s agenda. Protesters called on John Fetterman to take action against the current administration:

“I’m not in this game to just yell at Dems and say be better. I want to be cheering them on as a unified opposition.” @ezralevin.bsky.social tells @maddow.msnbc.com what it will take to get more Democrats to stand up to Trump.

#SHUTDOWNSENATE Share liberally. People all over America need to see those crowds!

#nothingbutprotests

the Oversight Committee immediately devolves into chaos after Democrats call for Elon Musk to come and testify

@fetterman.senate.gov

My partner is packing up the house for our imminent move and I am scrolling, messaging reps, and looking for protest info. I feel like both of us are doing the right thing and the wrong thing at the same time.

Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥 "...we are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your asses, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like... ...and this ain't it!"

"Our department of treasury has been broken into and we need to go ahead and handle the person that had the audacity to go after our information" @repjasmine.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social @maxwellfrost.bsky.social #resist

It seems particularly unfair that food prices will go up precisely when I most need to eat my feelings. #resist

Support objective reality-based policies. Keep funding channeled properly. Contact your senators to vote against Project 2025 Russel Vought this week.

The vote for Project 2025 (Russel Vought) to gain control of govt money (as OMB director) is THIS WEEK. GO TO YOUR SENATORS' LOCAL OFFICES. Not even Republicans want the fallout from Project 2025; they just hoped to sweep this in with the rest of the colossal shitstorm. SHOW THEM THAT WE SEE THEM.

You don't have to have it all figured out already to start figuring it out. People listen a lot better when they are not being yelled at and called names, even if recrimination feels satisfying and may even be justified.
