Each Democrat who voted to censure Rep Al Green should hold an IN PERSON town hall this weekend to explain their vote to their constituents. @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

We stopped at a restaurant while out running errands today. There is a white straight man at the table across from us boomersplaining the new pride flag to his dining companions and, very incorrectly, saying it has something to do with the Palestinian flag. 🙄

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

From this morning

Use your white privilege for good! This is an excellent thread about protecting our friends and neighbors from ICE. 👇

So yeah, it’s real bad. Just remember: 1) they’re going to fuck it up 2) but not all of it 3) do what you can when you can 4) do nothing when you need to 5) posting is not doing something

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

To credit Germany, they only elected Hitler once into office

If Donald Trump thought there were going to be massive crowds for the world to see, he would have never moved the inauguration indoors. NEVER.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Let’s keep that in mind moving forward.

Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, grifting and lying trump will be pardoning January 6th attackers today, on inauguration day. A disgusting skidmark for the office of the President, and for America as a whole. Just awful.

Justice is coming... eventually. ⚖️ #MartinLutherKingDay2025

This. Absolutely this. 👇

A reminder

It might be cringe, but I'm going to keep repeating that Trump won by a thin margin, and that this mass capitulation which suggests a sweeping mandate is embarrassing and delusional.

I asked Trump’s Treasury Secretary nominee if there are any billionaires whose taxes he DOESN’T want to cut. He wouldn’t answer. In the same hearing, he said the federal minimum wage should stay $7.25/hour. Here’s the way I see it: billionaires don’t need handouts. Workers need raises.

If it can't be changed then why are you banning us from changing it

Trump raising millions of dollars for an inauguration that will now be less expensive because it's indoors with white supremacists is almost precisely the plot of "The Producers."

AOC: I don’t celebrate RAPISTS, so no, I’m not going to the inauguration tomorrow

A five-year investigation into UnitedHealth’s practices by the FTC found that, “OptumRx, the group's pharmacy benefit manager, along with its two main peers, Express Scripts and CVS Caremark Rx, have pocketed an extra $7.3 billion over cost thanks to price gouging”

Good to know Donald Trump is totally cool with Americans flying flags at full-mast once he’s dead.

It's not just me. Cool.

People wonder how it is that half of (white) Gen X supports 45 and I swear they forgot that most of us went to school with peers who would call a boy the F slur for playing soccer or listening to Depeche Mode. We aren't all cool and too many of us are straight up nasty work.

This is a really good and practical read. 👇

We have a winner!!!

Re-upping this. If you happen to know how to get a hold of Biden, could you let him know?

STOP USING AI

it's weird that an entire us political party is just "we want to do maximum cruelty" and the democrats are like "it's important to listen to these people and take their positions seriously"

i think opponents of trump also have to resist the temptation of intellectualizing his outbursts or attributing them to some recognizable goal. the fact is that trump is obsessed with greenland because it is big on a map. he wants canada because it is also big on a map. that's it.
