Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

Protests and calls are fine, but if you want Republicans to do anything to stop Trump, they need to know how their constituents are being directly harmed. VA surgery cancelled? Call a Republican Lose your federal job? Call a Republican Your research grant cancelled? Call a Republican

🚨 BREAKING: Ohio broke the law, illegally depriving 300,000 Ohioans of thousands of dollars (each) in federal unemployment benefits. $900M total. The dollars are still available. In a federal account. But Musk will no doubt be eyeing the funds for billionaire tax cuts. 1/

I do appreciate how creative humans are and how they can make songs about the fall of democracy that really slap

By popular request, another timeline cleanse: I call this one “Mexican Standoff.” Two Patagonian Ibis—we call them Fred & Ethel—are staking claim to to the prairie. Our llamas & pacas, devout pacifists, are befuddled & incredulous. They cannot pass. The soundtrack? Southern lapwings & the Azul River

I think the energy that can be harnessed right now if someone in a leadership position wants to step up and be a leader is extraordinary.

Most of the great revolutionary political upheavals seemed impossible in the years, months, weeks, and sometimes even hours before they happened. We never really know what kind of futures are within reach.

Is Trump's red wall starting to crack right here in Ohio?

I'm excited to be co-facilitating a retreat this September with Emily Atlantis Wolf. The Joy Retreat is about reclaiming your joy amidst all the chaos in the world. #joy #spirituality #retreat #spirituallifecoach #community www.thejuliancrossonhill.com/work-with-me...

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

THIS. Be annoying as hell. Play dumb. Don’t do anything until it’s required by law and it’s the last possible moment to comply. Ask for clarification. Insist on explicit definitions of the most pedantic minutiae imaginable. Get it in writing. Slow. Everything. To. A. Crawl. Malicious compliance.

Liz gets it. (Also, she writes books! Go read her work!)

Keep calling your electeds. Make them worried about being primaried.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington state, who blocked Trump's executive order re: transgender health care, says it is unconstitutional in multiple ways, including usurping Congress' power of the purse storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

Times are bleak, it’s true. But people are still out here doing incredible work now, when it matters most. Activists in KY bought land slated for a new prison, and will now fill it with native plants and use it as an intertribal gathering location. 🌱🌎🧪🌿

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
