Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Nashville, TN, 50501 protest. “No Trump, No KKK, No fascist USA!” #NotMyPresidentsDay #3E #FDT #FiftyFiftyOne @tn50501movement.bsky.social

This caught fire on X.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Vice President Vance posted a tweet suggesting that it may be time to "defy the courts," and President Musk retweeted it. Every day, I get just a little bit angrier. There is a reason we have a system of checks and balances in this country. But it seems like about 40% of the country doesn't care.

Gonna thread all the coverage of #Nashville #50501protest #Tennesse that I find here. We'll start with this one, because the fist in the air is my pseudo-son (it's a long story) and I'm SO PROUD OF HIM! 🏳️‍⚧️ I'm so proud of ALLLLL OF US who showed up. It was amazing. More to come in 🧵

@officialjackwhite.bsky.social hey Jack, can we expect to see you at the capitol tomorrow? Or could you at least help spread the word? Well-known faces can always help :)

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

If you can't make it, you can't make it. But if you live in a state capital (like me), please, please go. They are convinced they have the numbers. Let's show them who really has the numbers.

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

Don’t let anyone tell you this guy is popular or that the country is trending his way. Just isn’t true. Never was.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

As a straight cis white man living in Nashville, I realize I am in a position to use my privilege to not only be a voice for change but to use things like my ancestry as a talking point. They can't tell me to go home, I am home. They can't tell me I'm a sinner or abomination, to them, I'm "normal."

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.

We're finally dismantling the federal government! Sure hope it doesn't serve essential functions that I've taken for granted my whole life
