I'm holding a citizen meeting in West Hartford to talk about what I'm doing and what people can do to fight back against Trump's seizure of government for the billionaire class. 1/ Unfortunately, we've maxed out the space, so here's a 🧵 on what you can do.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

"Our analysis of the EPA’s own data showed that in every census block in the U.S., the risk of getting cancer from a lifetime of exposure to formaldehyde in outdoor air is higher than the goal the agency has set for air pollutants." @propublica.org

The way GOP politicians are coalescing around a completely made-up narrative that Liz Cheney should be prosecuted should terrify the American people. I know we have gotten numb to the outrages, but this is truly next level. What happened to Navalny in Russia could happen here.

More than 5.3 million children live in homes where parents make the minimum wage. These wage raises are going to make a huge, positive difference in the lives of our kids and in our communities. www.epi.org/blog/over-9-...

Still waiting on that one final, heroic McDonald’s order to step up and clog what needs to be clogged for the good of the US.

I know Black Friday broke containment long ago but I want to talk to the manager about the new name.

if trump and elon are still on speaking terms by inauguration, i’ll eat a truck tire live on camera. narcissists of that magnitude cannot coexist and they already palpably dislike each other. bad shit is coming but at least this particular sub-shitshow will spin out and crash.

Bomb threats are being called into precincts in my county. If you are in DeKalb County, the polls are being kept open late. Do not let them steal your vote.

In Georgia, a person can be charged as a “party to a crime” for simple acts like answering a phone or loaning gas money. Many women are trapped in prison for crimes committed by men or abusive partners. Published with @capitalb.bsky.social and @theappeal.bsky.social theappeal.org/georgia-part...

I don't know about you but I'm excited to live in a country where its chief executive is decided by an arcane process designed to give outsized advantage to slaveholders

Recently had a short hospital stay. (I’m fine.) Can’t recommend it but one cool thing that happened: over and over again, at intake, discharge, and more than once in between I was asked a question: “Do you feel safe at home?” I like that they’re looking out for everyone that way.

Elon truly is the Henry Ford of this time in that he’s figuring out how to get Nazism to scale.

A choice has been made here, to comfort white nationalists instead of EVERYBODY ELSE. Just on a sheer numbers level, this is stupid; the bigots are a loud minority, but a minority. They just made the majority of the country "feel confronted," to please a handful.

I really hope one of the final takeaways from 2024 is that 3 months is more than enough time to run a campaign.

It has everything. Mansplaining the author of a world famous book about what her book is about, obvious lying about having read the book, the random stray toward Islam, loud and proud ignorance from an anonymous incel with a blue check.

I’m still thinking about this woman in Georgia—miscarrying and hemorrhaging ‘dinner plate-sized clots’—who, even after qualifying for an abortion, couldn’t skip the state’s 24-hour waiting period because she wasn’t close enough to dying. This is torture

Elon wants to run the government the way he runs Twitter. This means he'll either fire you, try to impregnate you, or make you hang out with Nazis as he loses everyone billions yet somehow gets richer.

Sadly, we expect more of this: the prevailing (and false) narrative of widespread "non-citizen voting" will lead to confrontations b/w election workers/observers and non-white voters as well as false reports that non-citizens were allowed to vote: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Voting in the U.S. has never been more secure and vote counting has never been more accurate than it is now. If Kamala Harris wins this thing, she will have good and truly won it. www.scientificamerican.com/article/voti... by @bbguari.bsky.social
