We’ve been taught to fetishize convenience so thoroughly, and the costs have been hidden so effectively, that we seek convenience while unknowingly reinforcing the system that make us crave ease in the first place. We have to change this whole paradigm. My latest: www.jphilll.com/p/convenienc...

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

As an experienced activist, I’ll admit, I’m skeptical of this 1-day economic blackout. That said, I’m experienced enough to know that: 1) Sometimes I’m wrong 2) It’s good to experiment 3) I’ve done 1-day boycotts before (#FreePalestine) and this one seems to be hitting differently.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I physically cannot get over these videos where someone is looking emotionless with a post from someone else. It’s hard to describe that feeling you get where you look at something and just go “what is actually being shown to me right now?” Same thing with “people pointing at posts” videos.

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.

Washington, D.C. yesterday. "Shut down the Senate, Shut down the Senate." Chanted for hours. More massive #USprotests, ongoing. Sources here report, "Millions of people are getting ready as we speak to take this country back and save the USA. Their days are numbered. Stay tuned." #3E

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

Thinking about a new story. Creative work is a loop. Once you get to the end of a project, you find yourself back in the beginning of the next project, with the same steps ahead of you. But it’s also a spiral, you have learned a lot, there are new thoughts, you are evolving, on a journey somewhere.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Despite Elon Musk's tweets, he cannot unilaterally remove entire departments from the U.S. government that were established by legislation. This is brazenly illegal.

Good morning! 1) We need at least one member of Congress to attempt to break through the police line at one of these agencies TODAY. Please push this with calls to your electeds, with in person meetings and on social media. 2) If an elected attempts to break the line, give me a heads up? Thank you!

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

I’M GOING TO SCREAM. From a comms standpoint, this is a travesty. They should both resign: 1) Pushing legislation suggests what Trump & Musk are doing is legal. It’s not. It’s a crime of the highest order 2) Use of the term ‘meddling’ minimizes harms already done 3) Cutesy name also minimizes harm

“George Lucas’ original Star Wars introduces the Rebel Alliance and the individualist heroes who will lead the struggle against intergalactic domination -but ESB’s dark denouement is far more in tune with the vibe shift of 2025, when the ultra-right-wing is seemingly in ascendence everywhere.” -THR

New ask: If you’re aware of any protests at the offices of Democratic senators, either in DC or locally, I want to hear about it. It can literally be one constituent walking into the office and going, “WTF are you doing? This is a constitutional crisis, act like it!” Please record their response.
