I've been building and installing Corsi-Rosenthal boxes since the southern California wildfires were really bad a few weeks back and they've made a huge difference in my indoor air quality. Really highly recommend, should have done this years ago

Elon Musk is not cutting government waste. The real plan is to destroy American democracy and replace it with a Right-wing autocracy. The reason the past month has felt like a hostile takeover of democracy is because that's what it is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_...

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

Libertine reactionary degeneracy; that's what it is. These people are hedonists revelling in their own cruelty. The flagrant violation of moral principles exhilarates them. Their existence is incompatible with civilisation. Let all woke individuals of firm conviction recognise what must be done.

Another free idea for the @democrats.org: Set up a website that archives pre-Trump government resources/websites and keeps them updated with new, reliable info. Every time this trash happens, point people to THAT website. Don't just whine. ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE. You have ENORMOUS power.

Right. There'a major asymmetry in that you can't use unilateral executive action to create new healthcare programs or create a major child tax credit etc. But congressional Democrats do need to stop unilaterally adhering to norms that limit them and are within their discretion to change

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

What I've learned with social media is the big posts are good. It's a dopamine rush. But you can have 10,000 people like something but zero people remember it after five minutes. When posts start CONVERSATIONS, thats interesting. And they don't need to be viral for that.

Simple ad campaign suggestion: "Why is Ken Paxton obsessed with your daughters' genitals? Why does Ken Paxton want to look down your daughters' pants? Would you like coaches to have state-mandated access to your daughters' private parts?"

Take a moment to process this: Musk has had his private thugs—who aren’t public servants and don’t work for the government and operate under no known standard of conduct—as _federal law enforcement agents_. When a CPAC host told him his army of security is “enormous,” he replied it should be bigger.

If you have been looking around at waves hands and wondering "WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS" The answer to some of it? Racism. Sexism. Fear that anyone might benefit when you don't benefit MORE. And the reaction to it? Chaos. www.sciencenews.org/article/why-...

I think a big problem news orgs have with describing Nazi salutes is that it puts two conventions in conflict one: Nazis are Bad this is basically the only thing news orgs are allowed to describe as unequivocally Bad two: you are not allowed to describe either side as Good or Bad, just conflicted

I was at a Fugazi show sometime around '86 or so when Ian MacKaye saw something happen in the pit, threw down his guitar, stopped the show, jumped in to the crowd and personally dragged a skinhead out of the venue and tossed him into the snow.

They are telling us, out loud, exactly how the 2026/28 elections will not be free & fair. They will go after vote by mail (bsky.app/profile/mira...). They will go after computer voting. They will then say we can't count all the paper ballots because it's taking too long & there must be fraud. Etc.

The NYT does this exact move--presenting someone active in Republican politics as just a regular voter--enough times that it cant be considered an accident. Its part of their MO of laundering GOP talking points to try & help them win.

This letter to the editor from 1961 voices the same diagnosis of the nation's ills and the same solution--to completely obliterate the New Deal state--that animates the MAGA/Project 2025 blitz we're experiencing now. That 1961 newspaper was put out by a fascist who helped found the Posse Comitatus.

Imagination is necessary for collective liberation. We can only create a better world if we imagine it first. Create. Dream. Wish. Do it out loud. As loud as possible. That’s how you find those who share your vision, who you can work with to change the world, to make the vision into reality.
