“A video shared by Tarrio on social media on Saturday showed him following the officers, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell, through … a Washington hotel that was hosting the Principles First summit, a conference where one of the officers received a ‘profile in courage’ award.”

I just sent my email about last week's accomplishments. Send yours now! Let's flood the inbox!!

"I never could have imagined, none of us could, that the government of the United States of America would openly ally itself with a fascist political party. In the heart of Europe. In Germany, for God’s sake."

So I did this today: banged out a couple hundred words of a pitch while managing lab, sent it to the opinion page editor at the newspaper my parents still somehow get in print, and got back a "yes" in, I absolutely kid you not, under 15 minutes

“From my perch here in the US—where I arrived decades ago, thinking that having grown up in a country that experienced fascism was never going to be relevant again—here are a couple of thoughts on what we might learn from the German election.”

With the all the attacks on our community I thought I’d post this again. Might save a life.

🔥WATCH: “Musk has a long history of ignoring health of residents and being an enemy to working people. XAI came to MEMPHIS without holding 1 town hall.” Despite local concerns, the council approved more land to XAI for a wastewater facility. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGQ1OHY...

🔥WATCH: “My people used to write country songs about this and march with coal miners. Now look at us— singing the boss man’s praises, marching straight towards the cliff’s edge with smiles on.” TN’s own trae crowder on Trump & Elon’s DOGE rampage. FULL: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2P77fEy/

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

I was inspired to do a little something, based on a comment @prisonculture.bsky.social made earlier this week, and put together this flyer with federal policy actions that happened this week. I hope people find this useful!

Draw Attention to What They're Doing - A very special guest joined me in the kitchen tonight!! Here's the entire interview with @warren.senate.gov youtu.be/MR6i3y5D2bE

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

‼️Journalists - pick this up‼️ “United States Marine Corps veteran, VA disability rating, federal probationary employee that was 6 days away from end of probation, with an Outstanding Performance Review rating…I was illegally terminated.” old.reddit.com/r/fednews/co...

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it. Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on. Making this my pinned post.

I miss Joe!

Agreed...here comes the new type of bullshit from this guy.

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

No, 150-year-olds aren't collecting Social Security benefits. Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud; but there's a much simpler explanation.

Here is my Federal Employment Termination story:

Hopped on with @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social to sort through JD Vance’s bizarre speech at the Munich Security Conference. (Had to reupload due to a glitch)

Believe it or not, this ACTUALLY matters…. actl.ink/EAGS?ref=lm youtu.be/3OywKGhVY4I

It gets worse, if you can believe it!

Elon and his Tech Nazis are accessing your personal data illegally, and there IS something you can do about it. Contact your state's Attorney General, or your Consumer Protection Agency here: www.usa.gov/state-consumer. Fight back.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

There’s still time to stop Kash Patel’s nomination. Patel, who helped produce a version of the Star-Spangled Banner sung by violent January 6th inmates, has salivated about prosecuting the media. Call your senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email instead: act.indivisible.org/sign/demand-...

I know there is some anxiety around how to protect yourself in light of Muskrat and his herd of shitler youth getting their hands on all our personal information so here are the steps you can take to protect yourself. I’ve seen these in various threads but thought it worth putting them together🧵 1/?

So to be clear - in Tennessee unidentified white men in hoodies can grab any immigrant that "looks" undocumented, and if officials even as much as vote to protect them it's a felony. This is where we are now. Video: www.facebook.com/share/v/1AQh...

This is an absolutely astonishing report. DOGE did a complete takeover of CFPB’s systems at the root. This is identical to worst case scenarios for the most devastating cyberattacks by foreign actors, only this is an *internal* threat

Today is International Day of Women & Girls in Science. Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. Her contributions have left an indelible mark on the world of science & health & continue to inspire generations of scientists & innovators. 🔬 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

This is a sophisticated and entirely accurate analysis. It seems like a minor thing (who cares about a boring letter?), but @joshtpm.bsky.social uses it to clearly explain the current political moment we're in. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/how-i...

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.” My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts. Sorry, but it has to be said:

“I have come to wonder whether these expressions of despair and surrender are really masking an irrational longing for a magical way out of this nightmare - a hope that some deus ex machina will swoop down and spare us what we are facing.” open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked Trump from firing U.S. Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger, the watchdog enforcing ethics laws and protecting whistleblowers. A major blow to Trump’s war on accountability. Obama and Biden-appointed judges are defending our democracy.
