This is the best script I’ve found that works, for anyone wanting to learn python this is a great opportunity to learn and save your paid-for collection: github.com/yihong0618/K... There is also a script to remove DRM for the ebooks you own using your key and saves as an open epub format. #BookSky

First clip from my interview with former NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social Chris Kluwe about why he chose to be arrested for civil disobedience at his right wing city council meeting this week in protest of MAGA. More clips to come before we release the whole interview. Chris is fiire.

I hope people realize that if Trump replaces the top brass with loyalists, even if Trump is impeached and convicted. There will be no one to remove him from office. They will ignore the constitutional order to remove him from office. Now’s the time for any Republicans to show some courage.

Added an election countdown that can be filtered by location. Next steps are to get a more comprehensive dataset or link to an org that tracks elections and is easy to use. I’d hate to reproduce what others may have done, so let me know if there’s anything out there. reconstruction2029.com

We need action + planning. I’d like to get something like this going but I’m struggling to find a catalog of progressive legislation that can be referenced. Right now all I have are placeholder points but a detailed tracker needs structured data I don’t have: reconstruction2029.com/reconstruction

Who wants to write and build a left Project Now and a Project 2029 (but with more original names)? The DNC has no plan, no agenda, no vision. They offer no way out and are a distraction. We have to build our own way forward and build a left into existence by giving people policies to rally around.

We really need to reverse Citizens United amongst so many other things. But things like this are more than a gesture, we need to do all of the above in this multiple choice test of our democracy. Protest AND show what we’d do once back in power. John Lewis Act that should’ve passed at all cost 👀

Shoutout to anyone in Westchester county NY. Polls are open for county executive which is pretty important for our day to day. Remind anyone you can because it’s going to be closer than we’d like with Trump drawing national attention yesterday.

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.

TV off hits at another level when you really process The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

Definitely worth the read! But oh boy this hit home: “"Perfectionism," they noted, is "a form of oppression for Black students. To overcome the stereotype of black inferiority, many face immense pressure. More than wanting to succeed, some feel they need to perform better than their peers.“

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.” Is equivalent to asking “Why do I need farms? I can go to the supermarket.” www.noaa.gov/about-our-ag...

There will be thousands of stories like this. What Conservatives and Neo-liberals call “cost” are American jobs doing good work with little recognition or thanks.

I’m pretty impressed by the user experience. No frills and in less than a minute you have everything you need to activate. No excuses for not getting involved.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

I think I’ve spent way too much watching this on loop. Just a bit more won’t hurt 😅

Primary. them. all. This is our last hail mary. Performative representation got us here. Doesn’t matter what district, red or blue. We wouldn’t have AOC if she didn’t primary an ineffective and out of touch democrat.

It’s Christian Nationalism, it’s racism. Let’s not use abstract words and phrases and call it what it is. It’s not in the past, it’s always been. If you find yourself fighting against this conclusion, you are lying to yourself and holding back those who accept it and are fighting back.
