Use their constituent offices as mutual aid hubs from 6 am to midnight. Invite constituents to drop by to share stories about what they are currently doing to support themselves and OTHERS at this time. Members could create a collective asset map using all info gathered. Compile it & share it back.

One thing that helps you to reclaim your time is to not discuss strategy with people who never take any action. Save your breath, preserve your energies, and watch a Hallmark movie instead.

Gradually realizing a lot of people on here (and around me IRL) think capitalism is mostly about convincing people to buy things and so are v confused about why this administration feels OK about killing off so many consumers. Y’all, capitalism is about extraction.

The National Weather Service is THE ONLY source of weather data in the US. Every weather app, local broadcaster, and weather forecast map is based on NWS data from NOAA. This is a ridiculously stupid own goal for the US that will disrupt all kinds of social and economic activity, and endanger lives.

A federal judge in San Francisco issued a temporary restraining order on the Trump administration's firings of thousands of probationary employees, calling the actions illegal.

Just want to point out, as someone who has handled corruption and government regulatory matters for 20 years, that there is nothing any of these companies are legally required to do to “comply” with the EOs. They’re making themselves more appealing as government vendors, but it’s a choice.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

Last night, every single swing district Republican voted to cut Medicaid so they can shovel cash to their billionaire backers. If you’ve got an R representative, call now to let them know you’re furious: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

“The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.” Helen Keller, The Story of My Life Good morning, friends. Keep pushing!

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

BOTH/AND’s cover is here, and we’re obsessed with it!!! 😍 🤩 You can now pre-order this vital anthology, featuring 17 new essays by trans and gender-nonconforming people of color exploring what it means to be a trans person today. https://buff.ly/4hxivri

People will die.

Hi from Mika 👋🥹

🚨 A new expert analysis has revealed a more pervasive lead-in-drinking-water crisis than Syracuse officials previously claimed. There is no such thing as a safe level of lead exposure. Syracuse has one of the worst lead poisoning crises in the country, with an outsized impact on Black residents.

I realize it can be tempting to dismiss the threat if you grew up secular, but many if not most agencies will be headed up by Christian nationalists. Our Supreme Court is extremely right-wing. Republicans control both houses of Congress. Christian fervor is like a fire—tough to put out.

Hey #Oakland I’m reading with two of my favorite people: @gracelp.bsky.social and Faith Adiele at Womb House! 7:00pm on February 20th.

Frankfort, Kentucky!

Two days and not a single news outlet has covered the documented links between DOGE guys and neo-Nazi groypers.

Went from Capitol protest to @bookpeople.bsky.social to buy On Tyranny. Person at info desk hands me a copy. Another customer: “Come from the protest?”, fist bumps as I say yes. While checking out, cashier says to go to @indivisible.org, sign up for updates. Very Austin — in the best ways. ♥️

Democrats will hold the Senate floor "all night" to protest the nomination of Russ Vought, a leading Project 2025 architect, to head the Office of Management and Budget.

BREAKING: Federal lawsuit filed challenging Trump's executive order against gender-affirming medical care for those under 19, as well as the Jan. 20 EOs funding ban. The lawsuit is backed by the ACLU, Lambda Legal, Jenner & Block, and Hogan Lovells. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-tran...

The inability of the national media to understand this basic point ABOUT AMERICAN CIVICS is simply wild

Today I joined a coalition of publishers including @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social, authors @dashkaslater.bsky.social and David Levithan, @authorsguild.bsky.social, and Idaho librarians, parents, and students, in a lawsuit against Idaho's book banning law, HB 710. I'm proud to be part of the fight.

For every “screw you, you America-hating swine” I’ve received the past few days, I’ve received 100x thanks and kindness. So thank you to everyone who’s shared @wired.com’s journalism and blessed us with kind words. We appreciate you endlessly. Anyway, back to work!

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Institutions that can sustain a body blow now is your time to step up

Proud of my city ⚡️

Every lawyer who signs their name to a brief or pleading arguing the president can cancel birthright citizenship by executive order should be disbarred. I'm dead serious.

Here are the Democrats who voted to approve Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent- the person responsible for allowing Musk access to the US Treasury should you want to give them a call. I encourage every to write the them and ask them WTF they are doing!
