Yup!

PSA: if you are questioned by the Secret Service, you have the right to refuse to answer questions until you have legal representation. They are NOT required to tell you this.

Yes

That’s Tammy Baldwin — not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, Fox News?

You’re doing your very best, and that is the best there is. 🖤

REMEMBER: THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

Elon getting ratioed on his own platform 👌

People who voted for Trump losing things doesn’t make me feel gleeful. It makes me sad because people are losing things. Some of us say we want collective liberation but want to retain the right to gloat, and we can’t have it both ways.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Please help Malakai meet his goal. He’s raised 96% of the funds needed to purchase an accessible van. Malakai wore down his wheelchair in the past when his old van became unreliable. www.gofundme.com/f/help-malak...

Looking to talk with federal employees with disabilities who were terminated this weekend, especially folks hired through Schedule A or disabled veterans. Please boost! #disability #journorequest

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and Elon lay off thousands of federal workers. Robert Reich

I’m so confused as to how sometimes I end up on the video feed on Bluesky and then when I try to find it I have no clue where it is?

Shhh…that’s the quiet part.

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

I'm going to really try to focus on not talking about the political climate. It's not that I find it unimportant or that it doesn't bother me. It's that we all know what is going on and there are plenty of people keeping us updated Any movement that fights oppressive systems does so while dancing

If at any point truth moved the needle for white evangelicals, they’d realize that their framework of “I will deny your needs until you show up how i want you to” is the definition of conditional love. And btw, that isn’t love. It’s just control in a calm tone of voice.

Just so we’re clear again, they mean Black people every time they blame DEI, just like they did when it was CRT. Part of the reason they’ve succeeded is because they intentionally cloud the meanings of things. Be clear about what these things are. They want segregation back, period.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Important thread

Countries emptying their jails into America? Isn’t that what Trump did with the insurrectionists?

This is what we all should remember.

I just sent an email to my Senator to vote NO on H.R. 30, a bill about carrying out the MAGA-backed agenda of mass deportation. H.R. 30 co-opts the struggle against  gendered violence to ultimately harm undocumented survivors of gendered violence who are already unserved and unprotected.

My new love language is organizing action calls. If you get a link from me to write to my elected officials, we’re besties 🫶🏼

They really do a great job at convincing themselves that they have empathy! Turns out once that fetus is born they’re fresh out of f***s to give.

Any Eagles fans in the twin cities metro area in MN? Trying to organize an Eagles watch party at a local bar for the Super Bowl. #SuperBowl #Eagles #gobirds #flyeaglesfly

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jews, and millions of others, including LGBT individuals and disabled persons, who were murdered under the Nazi regime. We must remain committed to fighting antisemitism and bigotry in all of its forms.

no pressure Bills, it’s just that you’re America’s last and only hope in a terrible joyless world that would be made worse with another Chiefs super bowl

We need the Eagles and Bills in the Superbowl if for no other reason than the footage from the tailgate could be even better than the game itself
