The U.S. government has put up a submission form for reporting schools who teach kids about “DEI.” It accepts file uploads. Internet, you know what to do enddei.ed.gov

Here are all the funds holding Tesla. Is yours one of them? Time to divest! #TeslaTakedown

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

🚨🚨ALERT🚨🚨: If you want Democrats to hold the line on Musk's illegal funding/firing spree, **RIGHT NOW** is time to make your voice heard. This update below is about just that. Not clear how hard a line they're taking. GOPS are abt to shutdown the govt. Their leadership wants Dem help outmaneuver...

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

California educators: CalSTRS invests in Tesla. It's YOUR pension fund, and you have the right to demand that we divest from a co. led by a man that is trying to kill public education. The next board meeting is on March 12, and you can submit a public comment, here: www.calstrs.com/public-comment

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

run against your NIMBY city councilmember

If you live in Wisconsin, you need to get involved with Susan Crawford's campaign now. Far-right activists have been talking about this race since November. If you live out of state, consider phone banking for crawford or throwing dough to her campaign or grassroots groups organizing for her.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

helluva thread from the hellsite about the comically bad “savings” doge claims to have found (sorry for the weirdly sized screenshots, I had to squeeze everything into only 4 of them)

Were you fired from the Department of the Interior, U.S. Forest Service, NOAA, or Power Marketing Administration? Tell @naturalresources.bsky.social @rephuffman.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @altusfs.bsky.social @altnoaa.bsky.social @fedworkersunited.bsky.social @fedsagainstdoge.bsky.social

Summarizing Elon Musk's government takeover thus far in under 60 seconds:

BREAKING: Elon Musk is now trying to buy Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court majority. Election is on April 1—the first statewide election of the new Trump/Musk era. Musk wants to own state-level courts to thwart any possible check on their coup. Help us fight back. secure.actblue.com/donate/wisde...

Most people in the US have no idea about the attacks on federally funded science or our government institutions. Many (or most!) of your family, coworkers, neighbors, and friends have no idea. My own MAGA dad thinks DOGE is just identifying waste, and that nothing has been cut. We have to tell them.

Keep calling your Republican reps!!! 📣

Need a white guy to walk confidently into a federal building and delete all the student loans files

On a day named for a saint who wouldn’t bow to Caesar, I was so glad to read this beautiful story. I think you will be, too. “We’re just as much a part of this world as anyone else. We’re here to stay, and we will not be erased by a Christo-fascist, neo-Nazi administration.” - Tanya Walker

17 states are suing to overturn section 504. www.bazelon.org/wp-content/u...

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

It’s ruining his life to not have access to sensitive government systems?

Pushing live production code cooked up by some young coders over a week of sleepness nights in place of a legacy system that is fundamental to the operation of the US government is against every programming best practice.

Tomorrow in DC we’re protesting DC Children’s Hospital for ending all care to trans people under 19 I would love to see my followers join me in protesting a move that’s already impacting folks very close to me If not now, when?

If you’re furious at your elected official and want to run against them, we can help. runforwhat.net

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

In the period since Trump’s election, we’ve see @runforsomething.bsky.social’s biggest recruitment #s & our candidate intro call last week was our most well-attended ever. Less performative marching is a feature - not a bug.

The RFK Jr. confirmation hearing has been scheduled for 1/29/25. The nomination is on shaky ground. Here's the call to action: Reach Out To Your Senators and Urge Them To Oppose RFK Jr's nomination to be HHS Secretary Here's how to do that, step-by-step:

A central target of Musk's efforts to hollow out the federal government is the Securities and Exchange Commission. How much taxpayer money does the SEC burn? *Negative* one billion dollars/year. That's right, the SEC's revenue far exceeds its budget. Yet the press parrots his "efficiency" spin.

The amount of Beautiful Mind math being done to explain away an obvious Nazi salute is really amazing. It's all backwards, too. You don't have to "know what's in someone's heart" to interpret a Nazi salute, the Nazi salute is there *to communicate to you* what is in the person's heart

if you’re cis, don’t offer trans people meaningless platitudes. instead: - pay for someone’s HRT - help a trans person find employment and housing - donate to local trans organizations - contact your reps and demand non-compliance with policies targeting trans people - *listen* to us

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.
