Sheriff Robert "Bob" Norris, formerly of LASD. Google "LASD gangs".

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

props to the people of CA-23 for showing up and taking their representative to school! Read the writeup from the local paper. www.hidesertstar.com/deserttrail/...

CALIFORNIA: Rep. @JayObernolte (R) becomes the latest to hear from the people 🇺🇸 🔥 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGZ0d7B...

Hahahaha! Touché!

I've had a lot of requests for it, so I will post it first tonight! Thanks, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social, for talking with us today about confronting MAGA, getting arrested in California, @protecthb.bsky.social, and fighting the good fight! #Spotlight Interview! soundcloud.com/user-5879035...

Republican rep getting shouted down by his own constituents at a townhall in a deep red R+30 district is something.

Credible death threats to politicians by right-wing extremists is a core part of Trump's authoritarian playbook, which is why Trump pardoned 1,500 credible-death-threat-making extremists on day one.

A thing of beauty right here 👇

Bluesky fam, you know what to do. I quote, repost, copy-paste, and generally name-drop the hell out of this woman every damn day, and thousands of people have honed their activism thanks to her labors. Please donate what you can. One foot in front of the other, pal. You’ve got this.

Leonard Peltier has made it to North Dakota! The temperatures are bitter cold today, but our hearts and spirits are on FIRE for our Elder and Leksi (Uncle) Leonard. ❤️‍🔥 Read our press release for more about Leonard's welcome home event tomorrow ndnco.cc/lphomepr

Kaleb is one of the most talented writers in America and if you have a thing that needs a writer you should hire him.

Theatre kids. ✊❤️

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that ***refraining from provoking the authoritarian*** is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

Amazon, McDonald’s, Target, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply and Walmart are all named in the advisory

🚨 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

I didn’t feel it, but that didn’t stop me from checking to see if Dr. Lucy Jones is on Bluesky. Hi @drlucyjones.bsky.social ! #earthquake

Incredible.

I can see this one being a tipping point. (one of many). Truly sadistic and ignorant.

Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants. As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

A virus does not differentiate between parents who are anti-vaxxers and parents who just didn't get around to it. Make an appointment, it's still flu season.

Lol I got death threats delivered to my home for tweeting that you can’t overdose from touching fentanyl. These cowards need to grow up or resign

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...

Humility is in order right now. No one knows what will make a difference. So do everything that you can to take some form of constructive action. 1000 people taking action is ALWAYS better than 1000 people doing nothing or 1000 people acting like East German figure skating judges.

I’ve been trying to find out where to connect for rapid response volunteer training in LA. I’ve emailed @chirla-org.bsky.social and @aclusocal.bsky.social but haven’t heard back. If anyone can point me in the right direction, please do!

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

We should all be pushing our local & municipal government agencies and elected officials to establish @bsky.app accounts. Making Bluesky more of a hub of civic information will encourage many, many users to migrate away from Twitter/X. Is there a Bluesky HOWTO for govt departments and officials?

The Democrats are actually holding the Senate open all night like we asked, it's getting punchy lol. Livestream:

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned. The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

Stop moving things along. Today you voted to confirm Collins for VA. Stop doing this crap! SENATE DEMS MUST BLOCK, DELAY, OBSTRUCT—NO EXCUSES. I’m your constituent. I’ve been calling and emailing you. It’s past time to use EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL to stop this crisis!

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

1. I keep saying this, but it’s important to try to slow things down. It’s something that the Democrats really don’t get. You can win a war by losing every battle slowly.
