DOGE laid off 10,000 postal workers today. Farewell to the US Postal Service – more than 10,000 employees will be laid off following the agreement signed with DOGE unionrayo.com/en/usps-job-...

UK Subs detained

Today was a bad day in a bad week in a bad month. But there's still good news to be found. Don't rely on legacy media to tell you. Keep an eye on bell-weather FL-1, FL-6, NY-21 elections. Even dropping those R margins would be a win. Flipping seats, even better. floridapolitics.com/archives/727...

Roses are red Violets are blue

People should not be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their People.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

If you're traveling into the USA... understand that the border (incl airports) is a gray area. A lot of our rights do not attach to you until your passport is stamped. Customs and Border Authorities can take your phone right out of your hands (and they will) and search it, they search bags, etc...🧵

Everyone is welcome in OUR America 👊🏾👍🤟🏼👊🏿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Looking for an action this week? RSVP for and attend the Rally for Our Republic with Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock on Saturday, March 22 from 2-4pm. This is an in person event. RSVP for the location (in Atlanta!). @ossoff.senate.gov @ossoff.bsky.social @warnock.senate.gov

Looking for an action this week? Call and thank Senators Ossoff (470-786-7800) and Warnock (770-694-7828) for their “No” votes on the continuing resolution. Remind them we won’t back down and we expect them not to either.

Did you hear the big news? We’re taking to the streets nationwide on April 5 to fight back against Trump’s illegal power grab: handsoff2025.com

Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.

Good activist accounts use alt text, y’all! 👏👏👏

The employees who attempted to stop Musk staffers at the U.S. African Development Foundation have been placed on administrative leave “effective immediately.” The email also stated that during the administrative leave, USADF employees are prohibited from

Call your GA Representative (ie the one in ATL, not the one in Washington) and tell them to OPPOSE SB 74 because you support librarians and also don’t want to ban books. The new law, which punishes librarians for distributing “harmful” material to minors already passed the GA Senate.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

We’ve been organizing locally against the unprecedented Trump-Musk power grab. Now it’s time to turn up the pressure with national events to say Hands Off! Please join us on April 5: handsoff2025.com/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

The TESLA (a/k/a "TESLER") TAKEDOWN is working... WORLDWIDE! Turns out people really resent an unelected weirdo running our Government & creating economic chaos. Hit Elmo where it really hurts: in his big, fat wallet. If we #TankTesla, It's Ex-X! (a/k/a Twitter) #WinWin Visit www.takedowntesla.com

The members of the Jan 6 Committee are all proud of our work. Your threats will not intimidate us. Or silence us.

We know who this is targeting. And SecBro’s comments are written like someone who never made it past the rank of major and has a massive insecurity complex. thehill.com/policy/defen...

NEW: The ACLU has filed a response to the Trump admin's actions on Saturday, asking Judge Boasberg to order the government to officially acknowledge what they did. This would presumably form the basis for a motion to show cause for contempt or similar. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For over 80 years, Voice of America delivered news to countries—many under authoritarian rule—where reliable information was scarce. Now, those broadcasts, once a vital tool for promoting democracy and transparency, are fading away.

Overall impression of the @wyden.senate.gov and @repbynum.bsky.social town hall. This is a Blue district with Blue electeds: people are angry. Real angry. I honestly think that's a good thing. We need to get angry. We need to use our anger to stop this coup because no one but us can do it.

There's only two reasons anyone should be deported to El Salvador, and both happen AFTER the alleged criminal receives deportation orders by a US judge: 1. They're Salvadoran. 2. They're a fugitive of El Salvador. Venezuelans should go to Venezuela. If Maduro refuses landing, we blow up his oil!

Tune in now to MSNBC! See Gay’s interview about the upcoming special election on April 1 and why every American should care! #fl01 #saygay #gayforcongress

One thing everyone should understand is that DOGE has created the least efficient conditions for government I've ever seen. *The working conditions are chaotic. *No clear sense of who works there. *Routine processes have been stopped. *No planning can take place. *People are incredibly demoralized.

Huge march in New York today protesting the illegal DOGE cuts

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Here we go: the rewriting of history has formally begun "Oklahoma proposes teaching standards suggesting 2020 election ‘discrepancies’" www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Education pays for itself.

Whether it comes from mayors or presidents, threats against press freedom are threats against freedom in general. We all have a duty to support journalism against the authoritarian impulse. ICYMI Bill Lueders: www.thebulwark.com/p/press-free...

It wasn't the outcome we hoped for, but we want to say a big thank you to @ossoff.senate.gov and @warnock.senate.gov for standing up for their constituents. It means the world to us that you both are willing to do the right thing even when it's the hard thing. #Indivisible @indivisible.org

Mary Prince escaped in 1828, sharing her story and those of enslaved women. In 1831, The History of Mary Prince became the first account of a Black enslaved woman’s life published in the UK, inspiring the anti-slavery movement. 158 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD
