If you think you're more progressive, more leftie, more pro-union or more hardcore Antifa and are going around being a dickhead to people who are obviously trying to fight the good fight, I implore you to get your head out of your fucking ass.

"[Democrats] should pursue a relentless, strategic, and thematic campaign branding Trump as America’s most corrupt president." Maybe some dem strategists (are there any!?) will read this and think "Huh, maybe we SHOULD do something about this shitshow": www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

I left a message on my senators answering machines. I said that as an American living in Europe, I found the lack of diplomacy, respect or tact for Zelensky and Ukrainians to be utterly appalling. I was articulate and calm. Then I accidentally said "Jesus fuck Congress, get you head out of your ass"

Is there a journalist or news org who is going around and getting statements from the orgs listed on the Project2025 site about the reality of implementing it? I wonder how many of those orgs have lost gov funding?

No one is coming to save us. 🧵 I hope Congress rediscovers and wields its power. That the court wins will be enforced. But I’m not counting on it. You have power to act beyond what’s granted to you (laws, rights) and destructive violence. Power that can’t be taken from you by anyone, ever. A list:

Yesterday @weareopen.coop learned that we were successful at pulling in an activist community project for a well known international NGO. I couldn't be happier and will continue to use my expertise and connections to make sure that we all have the community support we need to fight the good fight.
