It cannot be healthy for me to be this angry.

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory Today in history, 1911: 146 garment workers, mostly young women, perish in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. The tragedy led to laws improving factory safety standards and spurred the growth of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. /1

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.

If you weren’t so stupid. You too would be angry.

The GOP has been told not to host in-person town halls—what are they so afraid of? Hearing from their own constituents? Meanwhile, leaders like Tim Walz are stepping up. He’s hosting a town hall in Iowa, not even in his own district, making sure Americans’ voices are heard.

We live in what has been an exceptionally stable country, but it's just been destabilized. In that instability is possibility--not to return to the world of January 19th, 2025, but to something other than this rampage of hate and destruction, this oligarchs against everything coup. If we seize it.

Embarrassing

For two months I have been posting that we need a leader to stand up and step forward. Last night, Al Green did just that.

If Dem leadership can't do it because they can't stomach breaking the norms, PLEASE PLEASE let someone with fire and fight take your place! This isn't business as usual. DUH!

I didn't watch the State of the Union address last night, but I watched a clip of Al Green standing up and fighting back, but was crushed to see not one Dem stand with him while a bunch of fascists shouted him down. We aren't going to make it if they can't rise to the occasion.

In the US we have 3 states with a higher GDP than Russia (based on last years numbers). California Texas New York We have another state (Florida) closing in fast. We have STATES with higher GDPs than Russia and yet here we are becoming a vassal republic to Putin. Insanity.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

“The reason we face the worst is because it helps us imagine the best.” What a fantastic, hopeful read. Treat yourself to this, and then spread it around.

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
