According to the NY Times (and its UN vote), America’s new friends under Trump (instead of under God) are Russia and North Korea.

"Immigrants didn't steal my job. The president did."

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

"Experts on tyranny point out that people are ill equipped to handle fascism because they make it look inevitable, & we lose our ability to envision the alternative. Trump & Musk are trying to gaslight us all into believing we live in their FANTASY WORLD in which everyone bows before their power."

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.” Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

lol remember when Drumpf lied and cheated to steal the 2016 election, then had a US journalist murdered in a Saudi consulate when he tried to whistleblow the truth about him and Putin rolling in dirty oil money togetherlololol but *do* tell me about your virtuous plans for peace, o enlightened ones

2/28 is my birthday, so if you want to do something nice for me... #resist

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

It’s a coup. Don’t let them lie.

NEW: I just met @georgetakei.bsky.social and he has a very important message for everyone:

It's getting a little North Korean around here.

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The only immigrant trying to destroy the country.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.

Best describes Elon. Beautifully done.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Y'all know what to do. Let's let this strategist strategize. Does anyone know people who know people who can help make this happen?

yowch. this photo will be in a history textbook one day. which side are you on?

...check up on yo strong friends...

@sherylcrow.bsky.social I just heard one of the lyrics to "Where?" for the first time, and I swear I felt the meaning before I even processed the lyric. I am listening differently from a deeper place to the beam of light you shine through your work. What an incredible album you have created. 🌌

has anyone else found it hard to be creatively productive this month hahahahahaha no i know i know

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . . www.history.com/this-day-in-...

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

i love that bishop baddie’s book is on being brave. #church @mariannedgarbudde.store

Don't know the original source but so very accurate.

If you're a federal worker and you want to blow the whistle and share emails or memos from the new administration, my DMs are open and I'll keep you anonymous.

Are you as brave as this true follower of Christ? Serious question. If he forced you and your friends to help capture those [of us] currently being dehumanized, would you obey? Asking for a friend, a neighbor, a coworker... #WWJD #nohatelikeChristianlove

hey, friendly reminder that if you are trans you are VALID and LOVED and hey, friendly reminder that if you love a trans person, you must ADVOCATE and PROTECT them fiercely without relenting - whatever that looks like for you. DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE
