We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward. Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it. secure.actblue.com/donate/hrccr...

Other ways we can amplify our voice!

Here is your self-care checklist for today and every day! 💚 💙 🩵 💜 🧡 💛 ❤️

#IndivisibleRI rally was today at RI State House! We need more visibility! So many I spoke to had no idea and don't know where to find protest info! @hcrichardson.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @marisakabas.bsky.social

Please!! Help us get the word out!!! Very little media coverage weekday or weekend! We have some reporters come by but this is our second protest in a week! #IndivisibleRI rally was today at RI State House! @hcrichardson.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @marisakabas.bsky.social

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” –Howard Zinn. I hate seeing my fellow Americans afraid. Remember your birthright my friends. This is our country, our government, the people’s, not theirs. Don’t be afraid. Speak your minds! Don’t ever give up your power.

“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.

This is absolutely disgusting.

Heather Cox Richardson is not part of this effort. If you know who typed this up, please let them know. Thank you.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

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.

Good time to read or reread Williams’ 2004 essays on The Open Space of Democracy, and appreciate, as well, the art by Mary Frank that weaves the book whole. Thanks to Roshi Joan Halifax, too, for ever-reminding us of how mindfulness resists the closing of minds, spaces, hearts, and worlds.

LGBTQ+ people aren’t going anywhere. We are coming out, living authentically, and not caring what anti-equality lawmakers think about it. More on the latest Gallup survey of LGBTQ+ adults: news.gallup.com/poll/656708/...

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

1. AUDIO On Monday in Fairbanks, Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK) told a constituent laid off from a job with the federal gov't that there was nothing he could do to stop budget cuts imposed by DOGE and Elon Musk Begich said he was "not in a position to approve or deny the cuts"

I just learned about this today. I'm adding it into my Wednesday routine. There's something comforting and beautiful about many people across the country doing this together.

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23. That’s where we come in. With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

Important @asharangappa.bsky.social piece on unique danger of Kash Patel as FBI Director. The FBI can cause great harm *acting lawfully*. DOJ rules limiting its behavior can easily be changed or ignored. Please circulate and maybe we can get to 51 nos! 1/2 www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Sylvia Rivera was a fierce advocate and fighter for transgender and gay rights, especially for trans people of color. At a time when our government is trying to erase trans and queer people, it’s critical we celebrate our history, honor Sylvia’s legacy, and fight like hell for our rights.

This made me happy. What'd you call this gulf?

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

@juliusgoat.bsky.social

True words.

🚨1 If you're attending a protest, make sure to save this post or the graphics in the thread. Knowing your rights, staying safe, & protecting others is essential. Be prepared, look out for each other, and keep fighting for what’s right. Stay safe out there! Credit meganthuy & blmlouisville IG

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

✅ DEI Employer of the Day™ Albertsons (Safeway...) "commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging as well as thoughtful people practices are core elements of the company’s philosophy" "We believe that diverse perspectives strengthen and enrich our stores, our company and our society."

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

Honest question: Why are our former #Presidents, Vps and their spouses, and all those #celebrities who took the stage for Harris so silent instead of heading with #courage our, the People's, #resistance and #protests? Where are they??? @hcrichardson.bsky.social @politicsgirl.bsky.social

Are you a baby eater? #govegan #veganfood

Animal Agriculture is EXTREMELY inefficient - using a staggering ~83% of ALL agricultural land despite only producing ~18% of global calories

Most newborn lambs are slaughtered before Easter 👺 At this moment they are maybe going to the barn ..the final separation will come soon #EndAnimalExploitation #LiveVegan stop animal abuse 💚
