None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

This should not be posed by journalists as cost-cutting measure. This is an attempt to gut civil rights enforcement across the federal government and therefore across American life. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I don’t know if it’s possible to quantify how much global influence and power this administration has willfully squandered in the past four weeks. It is a national security disaster.

Trump has taken sides with Putin against Ukraine. Anything that doesn't make that clear is lousy journalism.

- make boycott your default practice - tell your friends and family (esp those not on social media or connected to movement) why you’re boycotting - ask them to join you!

A LOT of people out there saying "I don't like what's going on but a boycott will hurt tipped servers" and "I'm super mad about all this but putting up a protest sticker/flyer seems too radical" and folks, I cannot. *fyi, buy-nothing day tomorrow focuses on big chains. Use cash @ small businesses

On an unrelated note some online forms don't confirm that the email address you input is valid, so for example someone could theoretically skew these assholes' terribly phrased survey without ending up on their mailing list

Things are coming apart quickly, so a word to white folk: you’re going to have to get used to property damage if you want to survive. Getting upset protesters set an empty Target on fire & making THAT & not police murder the focus is part of how we got here.

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters right now that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington. Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

Also I want to take a moment to remind everyone (who isn’t an elected official) to take time to recharge your batteries. You don’t have to attend every city council meeting or protest. Find what centers you, then get back in the fight. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

this feels like a stark and important reminder that mainstream media - ALL OF IT, even the ones where people's opinions sometimes agree with yours - is never going to be a progressive ally. we all know that, but this really makes it unignorable. corporations gonna corporation, first, last & always
