So smart. Use all the tools. Don’t let Trump fill the vacuum.

🎯🎯🎯

🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge issues blistering order saying that Trump administration has violated his prior order re funding freeze. If admin. continues to disobey, next logical step would be contempt and a potential constitutional crisis. Visit Democracy Docket for updates. www.democracydocket.com

Serious question, because this is where we’re headed… Who’s going to hold Donald Trump and Elon Musk accountable if he defies court rulings? Who’s going to stop him?

Sen Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) letter to chair of Senate Judiciary Cmte, which is poised to vote on confirmation of Kash Patel: “We regret that you have rejected our efforts to inquire into the first-ever invocation of Fifth Amendment protection by a nominee seeking to lead the FBI”

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

Tonight is the night in DC! Screening of AGAINST ALL ENEMIES WITH @charlie-sadoff.bsky.social and @milleridriss.bsky.social at 1529 16th Street, NW, Washington, DC will be eye opening. Veteran radicalization is real. We must confront the assault against reality. www.edcjcc.org/jxj/show/aga...

Let's get this circulated!! 😤

This is a national emergency:

Starting today, Donold’s idiotic 25% tariff hike on imports from Canada and Mexico (and 10% on China) is set to make life more expensive for every American. Even his own voters are furious over what they voted for. Let’s break down this economic self-own.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

In my head all day.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

Dear Ministers in America, Bishop Budde did something awe-inspiring, something sadly rare, and something you are also capable of doing. Sunday is here. May you greet it with courage. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-let-b... #Bishopbudde

What happened to all of the UAP/UFO sightings and videos? Did the starlings take a gander at us and decide, “Nah. Let them be. They’ll be done blowing each other up in a few months. Too stupid to save themselves.” 😳

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

Angles matter.

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

Now that TikTok has officially gone dark, I’m re-upping my post from a few days ago to remind folks that this praise for Trump is wrong.

Holy fucking shit. I shared this almost word for word on Facebook and they are losing their shit! This is fucking brilliant

As we barrel toward the unthinkable, I'm grateful today for the decent people. For all of you, fighting to save our democracy. Just remember: We ARE the MAJORITY. We will win, as long as we Persist. Insist. Resist. I don't know who the artist is. Please share if you do! #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Are we sleepwalking into autocracy? Yes! Well, probably not YOU – my community is wide awake! But I try to shake many others out of their slumber in my latest @nytopinion.nytimes.com w/ @kimlanelaw.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/o...

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!

ALL. OF. THIS. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Okay so here’s me walking on eggshells: Nancy Mace lied about a guy accosting her. Share far and wide. Let’s see if she sues me for “defamation.” 😘😃

Agreed. 😢

After the election, a reader asked, “What do we do now? Where is our safe place?” I didn’t know the answer until I was asked. We are the safe space. You and I, and all the Americans who share our commitment to what is right and good—we will find the hope. connieschultz.substack.com/p/mostly-gra...

The meme I didn't know I needed

Here is what Andy Slavitt, President Obama‘s head of Medicare and Medicaid shared during the first attempted repeal of the ACA in 2017. A repeal of this program will have even more dire consequences. Please share EVERYWHERE!

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).

😭😭😭

What are some accessible Infosec & Opsec resources that activists, journalists, and organizers can turn to in preparation for the Trump admin? Preparing for a fascist regime can feel scary and paralyzing. This seems like an area where people can take control w/ concrete steps. Please share below 👇🏽

This needs to be said, loud, and often.
