So many great and wonderful leaders. Good reminders here. From the comments: One thing a friend of mine said (and he's JUST really getting into more direct movement work) is that you don't always know what somebody is doing for the cause off the internet and that's a good thing.

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

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

“An essential element of nonviolent resistance—particularly in cases of coups and authoritarian power grabs—is the withdrawal of cooperation. Coup-plotters, coup-makers and coup-profiteers are vulnerable to people power, and right now the unelected Musk is the most vulnerable.”

We're in a coup, which means we're in a nightmare, which means we're all ramped up, so let me offer you some deep time, perseverance, and beauty, before you and I go back to the work.

The first step of "woke" is don't be an asshole. The second step is knowing history and power relations. The third step is treating people you interact with in the world as people with their own consciousness and inner life. That's all too hard for some people.

First day after a major storm disaster with fatalities & destruction across multiple states and Trump goes to a car race in Florida. Second day after a major disaster and Trump plays golf in FL. Dozens of posts about himself during that time. Not one word about the disaster.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

@jdockter.bsky.social: I worked in state government financial services for over 28 years. Whoever controls the payment system wins. Meaning, you can take off all levels of approval with a switch. Internal controls are man made, but systems can be manipulated very easily and effectively.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Way back in 2016, @GOP believed the truth: the economy is just a complex set of interactions between people, and govt should facilitate that. Tariffs are the opposite. It’s big govt. And they say I changed. LOL
